About Bethiah Robbins
The genealogy of the Robbins family begins with Bethiah Vickery, who was born on December 1, 1760, and who married William Robbins. To them were born three children: Abel, Charity, and Benjamin. William Robbins was killed in the Revolutionary War, soon after enlisting.
His widow married a second William Robbins in Guilford county, North Carolina. To this couple were born nine children: Marmaduke and Jacob, born on May 15, 1783; Elizabeth, born on February 5, 1788; Polly (Mary Ann), born on April 9, 1791; Nathaniel, born on April 5, 1793; John, born on February 8, 1795; William, born on August 6, 1797; Lottie (Charlotte), born 3 Oct 1799; and Dosha (Theodocia), born on May 20, 1804.
William Robbins, the second husband of Mrs. Robbins, was born on October 21, 1761, in Randolph county, North Carolina. In October, 1777, when sixteen years of age, he enlisted in the Revolutionary army, serving until 1781 under Capt. Joseph Clark and Colonel Dugail and Col. Anthony Sharp. He left Virginia for Henry county, Kentucky, and, in 1821, came to Decatur county, settling nine and one-half miles south of Greensburg. Here he made a home among the timbered hills. Trees were cleared away and a new log house of one room was erected with a shed, in which was built a loom for carpet weaving and many kinds of cloth. In September 11, 1834, William Robbins passed away and was buried at Mt. Pleasant cemetery.
The third William Robbins, heretofore referred to in the children born to the second William Robbins and Bethiah Vickery, was born in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. He was taken by his parents to Henry county, Kentucky, and accompanied them to Indiana, when the family came in 1821. At this time he was twenty-four years of age. He selected the site for a home for himself about one and one-half miles north of his father's home, but the next year returned to Kentucky and was married to Eleanor Anderson, of that state.
