Research Notes:
"George H. Robbins was the son of George H. Robbins and Phebe Ann Delesdernier, born 20 Apr 1836 in Eastport, Maine. George (Sr) was a sea captain and his voyages included several trips to the West Indies and the Gulf Coast. The subject, George Robbins (Jr), his older sister Frances A. Robbins and a few of their Delesdernier cousins later settled along the Gulf Coast of Texas. According to Boggy Rangers: A Historical Genealogical Study of the Early Robbins Families of Texas by Eugene W. Robbins, George (Jr) married Martha Pickett on 18 Nov 1869 in Robertson County, Texas. The 1880 Census for Hamilton County notes George as a farmer and head of a household consisting of himself, wife Martha and sister-in-law, C. Pickett. Martha's parents and siblings are enumerated next door in that census. The Gazetteer of Hamilton County, Texas notes George H. Robbins as a trustee of the Baptist Church in Hamilton, Hamilton County, when the church bought land to build a new church on in August, 1888. George H. Robbins (Jr) is an eighth generation descendant of Nicholas Robbins who arrived in Massachusetts in 1635. For your pedigree chart, the line of descent from Nicholas Robbins to George H. Robbins is: Nicholas Robbins, John Robbins, Jeduthan Robbins (Sr), Jeduthan Robbins (Jr), Ebenezer Robbins (Sr), Ebenezer Robbins (Jr), George H. Robbins (Sr), and George H. Robbins (Jr)."
