I googled Robbins, MD, and found the community near Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge. I don't have a straightforward answer as sought, but the following obit from Dorchester Co., MD, may provide a clue as to burials in the same area: "SMITH, James Wilson, aged 15 died at his home in Robbins on Thursday afternoon Parents - Mr & Mrs Solomon J. SMITH Sisters - Ruby & Nina SMITH Brother - Allen SMITH Funeral at Bounds Church Saturday & interment in family burying ground (Friday - 24 Jan 1930)" s/Helen In a message dated 8/5/2010 9:17:14 A.M.

Daughter of John W. and Ellen Finn Bramble. She married #1 Major A. Bradford #2 Perry A. Wallace. Her Obit states her funeral service was held at Bounds Church and the interment was at Robbins, MD If anyone knows where in Robbins she was buried, please contact me.

Thank you for that information.. I think she may have been buried at Sandy Island Cemetery in the Bramble family section, however there is not a tombstone there for her. Bounds Church is just a short distance from this cemetery.. Also because she was married twice, and the Bramble, Bradfords and Wallace families all lived close to or in the Robbins area at that period of time, it is also a possibility she may have been buried in someone's back yard as it seemed to have been a common practice at that time to bury one's loved one at home. It took me many years to find her obit. because no one in the family never mentioned her, and I thought my Grandfather was an only child. I discovered her existence when I started doing census searches however the census records listed her as Elizabeth, Lena and Emma, and my Mother only knew her as Aunt Lizzy. No one in the Bradford family that I spoke with had ever heard of her and she was never mentioned in the Wallace family obits, or did any of the Wallace family that I spoke with ever hear of her I was talking to Jean Woolston and she had an abstract for Laura Wallace, whom I had never found information for, but I misplaced the information she gave me in other research files until one day about six years later I was cleaning out some old files and found that name again. I went to the Cambridge Library and found her obit on microfilm and --Waa Laa -- there was Mom's Aunt Lizzy - Laura Elizabeth Wallace ! Now I am stuck on Zachariah Bramble married 1855 to Bridget Edgar, I 'm pretty sure "Zach's" father was Adam Bramble married 1817 to Celia Pearson and this is where I have been stuck since the beginning of my research. It appears Adam and Celia were married 1817 in Dorchester County, MD, Zachariah was born abt.1825, It seems that maybe Celia died 1845 - 1850 MD, Indiana. or Va., I am unsure -- BUT it is a strong possibility she may have died in Dor. Co. MD. and Adam then moved to Virginia leaving behind in MD several children --POSSIBILITY -- 1. Jeremiah b.abt 1819, 2. Adam b.abt 1820 married abt 1870 to Dorothy Wallace, 3. Soloman F. b.abt 1824 married 1863 to Rebecca Mears, 4. Zachariah b. abt 1825 married 1855 to Bridget Edgar,( Zach's name may have been Samuel Zachariah Bramble ***NOTE*** I mentioned Indiana earlier because I found 1850 Rush Indiana census with Zachens Bramble, b. abt 1827 Maryland., I also found US General Land Office Record stating Zachariah Bramble purchased and pain in full for 40 acres of land originally belonging to the Miami Indians that was acquired by treaty from them by the government, 1850 Zachens and wife Margaret had one infant son George W. born August of that year! On the 1860 census I could not find Zachariah in Indiana however -- 1860 Zachariah Bramble is in Dorchester Co.,MD married 16 Aug. 1855 to Bridget Edgar, and a 4 year old son William. Was William actually George W., that he brought back to MD with him, Did Margaret die or maybe --is she Bridget ????? I mention all this because I keep hoping that someone will read it and make a connection to some of this info and be able to help me figure out what part of the Bramble family Adam, Adam and Zachariah belong to. I have an educated guess that might be right, but I would really like to have a few sources that would prove it.
