My great-great-grandfather was born in Stewart Co. His name was James W. Robbs. Another Robbs, John Lowery was born threre around 1826, a few years before James.I don't know their relationship. We feel they were traveling through the country, as many people were then, from NC. I know there are several Robbs in Roane Co.. I'm just trying to find a link. A sister of John's was born in NC. I have the census reports from Stewart and Roane. Is anyone researching the Robbs family? John and James both settled in Southern Illinois. All of the Robbs seem to be descendants of these two men.
