Joseph ROBBINS served in the Revolutionary War from KILLINGLY, Windham Co., CT. He married Elizabeth/Betsey GRANT on 1 January 1777. He served in the army until the end of the war, and after his discharge they lived with Betsey's parents, Thomas and Sarah (HOSMER) GRANT. They had four daughters, Polly, Asenath, Sally and Betsey. In Elizabeth ROBBINS application for a pension, she says that Joseph died in 1817, and that they had moved from Killingly in the winter of 1793 to BRIDPORT, Addison Co., VT, and in 1806 moved to Brookfield (a village in WILLSBOROUGH), Essex Co., NY. The censuses don't seem to completely back this up. The 1800 census has Joseph in Willsborough with one male 45 and over, one female 10-16 and one female 45 and over. Then the 1810 census for Willsborough doesn't show Joseph, but there is a listing for Elizabeth ROBBINS, with one female 16-26 and one female 45 and over. After Joseph's death in 1817 (per the pension) Elizabeth moves back to BRIDPORT, Addison Co., VT, and dies there 13 September 1839, aged 87. On 5 Mar. 1816, Betsey ROBINS and family are warned out of FERRISBURG, Addison Co., VT. For over ten years prior to her death, she is provided for by community members by being bid off at town meeting each year. She applied for a pension for his service in 1838. It was finally granted to her in December 1839, three months after she died. According to records I have found, I believe Polly (Mary), born 17 Aug. 1778 was married on 2 Feb. 1803 in Bridport to Samuel WILSON. Asenath/Sena, born 22 Aug. 1780 was married 25 Dec. 1817 in Bridport to Daniel WOOD. Sally, born 3 Sept. 1786 was married to Gideon COREY [,Jr.], probably in Willsborough, NY area. They are my ancestors. The last daughter, Betsey, was born 6 Nov. 1789 in Killingly, CT, and I have no record of her marriage. While living in BRIDPORT, Joseph purchased two acres of land from Obadiah Janes on 24 May 1797, both men being from Bridport. On 27 Sept. 1802, Joseph Robbins of WILLISBOROUGH, Essex Co., NY sold the property for $60 to Ezra Fitch of Bridport. So, it appears that Joseph and Sally were living in Willsborough by 1802 rather than 1806 as stated in the pension. Can anyone give me additional information on this family? I would especially like to learn the ancestry of Joseph ROBBINS. He was probably born a few years before Elizabeth GRANT; she was born about 1752 according to her death record. Thanks, Joann Nichols
