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.
