Henrietta Maria Robbins

Wife of (1st) George Robins of Peach Blossom, m. Apr 2, 1731 and (2nd) William Goldsborough of Myrtle Grove, m. Sep. 2, 1747. She was the fourth child of Richard Tilghman II of The Hermitage and Anna Maria Lloyd of Wye and was born at The Hermitage.

Henrietta Maria had six children by George Robins.

In a letter written during her second widowhood, Henrietta Maria writes,

"Of my six children, four daughters only are living, and all are Robins and live near me, the farthest about six miles off. My eldest, Ann Maria, is married to Henry Hollyday [of Ratcliffe Manor] . . . My next, Margaret is married to Mr. William Hayward, a lawyer. The next, Henrietta Maria, married James Lloyd Chamberlaine whose brother Thomas married my youngest daughter, Susannah. Thanks be to God, we all live far above want, and can spare to our poor neighbors. We possess, and indeed are burthened with, what people falsely call riches. I mean the Negroes . . . I think that we have full enough of them."* Reference: Find A Grave Memorial - SmartCopy: Dec 21 2019, 23:15:33 UTC
