Obediah Robbins of Rutherford
Co. NC
Oldest son of Hezekiah (son of Phillip
) and Cynthia Elizabeth Rollins*
*Marriage
record index indicates Hezekiah married Cynthia Rollins on May 11, 1839 in
Rutherford County, NC. Census records 1850 and forward indicate his wife's
name is Elizabeth. I'm assuming they are one and the same, however, the possibility
exists that Cynthia died before 1850 and he remarried a woman named Elizabeth.
