notes

But to go back John Nation, Sr. married Bethiah Robins, daughter of Joseph, Sr. and Ann (Pack) Robins. Bethiah was born in Manmouth Co. New Jersey. Her brother, Joseph Robins, Jr. married Eleanor Nation, John's sister. John Nation, Sr. died in 1774 in Guilford Co. NC. and named these seven children in his will:

• Joseph Nation married Eleanor Robins.
• John Nation, Jr. married Elizabeth Bethiah Robins
• Christopher Nation - married Elizabeth Swaim
• Elizabeth Nation - married Marmaduke Vickery
• Ann Nation - married John Bullar * Bethia Nation - married Joseph Mathew Robbins
• Frances Nation - married William Robins

The Nation and Robbins families had adjoining -farms in the 1750's in North Carolina and had intermarried with the Robins family. To further show this relationship Joseph Robins, Jr. and Eleanor Nation had two sons:

• Joseph Robins III - married Alice Robbins
• John Robins married Rachael Robbins.

The two sisters were cousins of Joseph Mathew Robbins named in 6 above. The earliest reference, from the book Gone to Georgia, names Frederick County, Virginia as an early residence of the Nation family.

Most are many reseachers has John Nation daughter Bethiah married to Matthew Robbins and had Nancy Ann m/ William Swaim, Jomathan, Mathias and Isabell married William Livingston. There are no records on this Matthew Robbins its appears to me this was make up. Ther was a Matthew on the 1759 Rowan Tax list but nothing more.

Does anyone have proven Sources for Bethiah Nation Robbins in her father Will as Bethiah Robbins, who did she marry and who were her children.
