Bob Bennett: Can you fill me in a little more on Elijah Robbins? b.ca.1739, son of Moses Robbins, Jr.?? He would appear to be the g.son of Moses Robins, Sr. & Mary Sickles. Moses Jr. would have been the brother of Joseph, who marr. Leah Clayton, dau of Zebulon Clayton & Mary Hartshorne. Zebulon was son of John Clayton & Alice Myres. I've got Chadwick mixed up with my Headly & Margerum family lines, also.

Joseph Whitman Chadwick, b. 11JUN1872, d. 04FEB1911. Joseph was the son of Elijah Robbins Chadwick, b. 18DEC1837, d. 21NOV1911. All were from Bay Head, NJ area. Blanche's father was John Henry Clayton, b. 1844, d. 1924, m. 01JAN1866 to Susan Ann Hankins b. 1848, d. 1920, also of Point Pleasant /Bay Head area and are all buried at White Lawn in Point Pleasant. John was apparently the son of John Henry Clayton b, 18JAN1811, d. 06DEC1899. Elijah Robbins Chadwick was the son of John P. Chadwick and Anna Longstreet. John P. Chadwick may have been a "junior", and his grandfather was William Chadwick of Shrewsbury/Dover twp., and Peaceable Tabor (Chadwick). William Chadwick's father, John Chadwick, Jr., was a "privateer", and a "private" in the Patriot militia during the Revolution; and was allegedly killed at age 70 in a firefight with Hessians and refugees at Black Point on the Navesink River, seven days after the War officially ended. This is the stuff of historical fiction, but it is apparently true. I'm interested in developing my understanding of John Clayton's family ties. Also, the connection between the well-known Elijah Robbins of Toms River, and the Chadwick family of now-Ocean County, NJ. Bob Bennett in SC
