Do you have the number from Alpheus Harlan's book for Rev. Harlan so I can
trace his line backwards? My line from NC is Enoch #117 , Jonathon # 477,
Jonathon P. #1763, Nathaniel C. #4911. Jonathon P. #1763 married Lucy
Wren Harlan #1754 . My gg were first cousins. They get to Warren county,
Ohio about 1803 and come with the Farlows who go on to Union and Wayne Co.,
Indiana. The Farlows are my mother's -in law family. Thank you.

Hi Steve,
John, Moses, Alice (Alcie) Robbins & family first settled on Nolan's Fork.
Then entered Section 9 Abington Township- this was the bounty warrant land
for John's Revolutionary War service. John had been a Separate Baptist
Minister. Moses & Alice became Methodists, possibly before they left NC.
Their son Harlan Robbins became a Methodist Minister, and many descendants
to this day are Methodist.
Our cousin Tim Robbins and I recently found, cleaned, repaired, and reset
Rev.Harlan's original tombstone in Locust Grove M. E. Cemetery. It had been
buried since his wife, Susannah Fender Robbins had died in 1871. We assume
the Family replaced his stone with a stone for both of them, because the
base of Harlan's stone was broken. It was a tremendous thrill for Tim, his
son Brad, & I to see this stone standing again.
I have never heard anything about the Robbins Family being part of the
Underground Railroad.And knowing the bragging rights in my line, I surely
would have. Both John and Moses owned slaves when they lived in NC. Becoming
Methodist did change many peoples hearts in that regard. We can only hope
that was the case.
Two of Moses & Alice's sons married Fender girls-John Carter Robbins married
Susannah's sister Sarah Fender. They were daughter's of Henry & Elizabeth
Long Fender, who came up from NC about 1810 or 1811. Henry & Elizabeth gave
the land for the Locust Grove M.E. Church and Cemetery.
The most fascinating child of Moses I and Alice is Elizabeth Robbins
Crawford.She traveled across the width of the country in her lifetime. She &
her husband James, and Family moved to Missouri. Her husband died. During
the Civil War the Bushwhackers killed her son James, & looted and burned her
house. After her son-in-law returned from California, she went west with her
daughter's family on a wagon train. She made a new life in California &
lived to be 82.
I recognize many of the names on your list, some are buried at Locust Grove.
The Robbins, Fenders, Longs, & Jarretts inter-married many times.There are
some I don't know, so I would like to know where they fit.
My line is John & Sarah Curtice Robbins> Moses I & Alcie Harlan Robbins>
Moses II & Elizabeth Long Robbins >Harlan Price & Mary Ann Fender Robbins>
Harlan Milton & Nova Mae Clements Robbins> Clifford Milton & Rita Josephine
Messina Robbins > Rita Louise Robbins & Ronnie Warfel

Hello;
My Indiana lineage comes from Moses Robbins (b.1765 in North Carolina) and
Alice Harlan Robbins (b. 1764 in N. C.). Moses was a 'Separate Baptist'
and Alice was a Quaker who was thrown out of the faith upon her marriage.
In 1816 they, along with Moses' aged father John, and all of their
children, migrated by foot to Wayne County, Indiana with their livestock
from
Randolph County, North Carolina in the 1816. Their The trip took the entire
summer and included the married spouses and in-laws of some of Moses' adult
children. Family records say that "several of the Martindales also came
along".
Once they became established in Wayne County, near Abington or Richmond, I
am
told they were 'conductors' and the Robbins farm was a waystation on the
Underground Railroad, although I have no evidence to back this up.
Family records show the following Indiana surnames that married into the
Robbins family over the next 2 generations:
James CRAWFORD
Susannah FENDER
Sarah FENDER
Mary Ann FENDER
William JARRETT
Sarah JARRETT
James M. JARRETT
Jonathan JARRETT
Mary C. JARRETT
Alice CLENDENING
Mary GARY
William MARTINDALE
Rachel FISHER
Henry David HOOVER
Isaac ALLEN
Louise ALLEN
John FROST
Hanah WARE
Sarah O'TOOLE
Mary BEEMAN
Martha Ann LONG
Sarah Elizabeth LONG
Minerva DUNBAR
Pamelia GENTRY
Rachel LAMMOTT
MYERS, Daughter of James Myers
Martha LARKIN
Sarah HAM
Abner WILLIS
Thomas CONNER
David WOODS
Elizabeth WILSON
A. T. KNIGHT
Sarah STEWART
Lewis REEVES
