ROBBINS posted by Janice Faulconer on Tuesday, January 27, 2004

I am interested in the Walter ROBBINS family who came from Russell Co. Virginia to Benton Co. Iowa. Walter, his wife Rhoda and their 11 children appeared on the 1850 census of Russell Co. Virginia. They then appeared on the 1852 Benton Co. Iowa state census. Rhoda Robbins is listed as a widow on the 1860 census of Benton Co. Iowa with four of her children and a grandchild. Rhoda and her son Charles are listed on the 1870 census of Cass Co. Missouri and the 1880 census of Ellsworth Co. Kansas. I am a descendant and Malinda Robbins the oldest daughter of Walter and Rhoda. Malinda married Thomas Uriah Burke 29 March 1854 in Benton Co. Malinda died 25 Dec 1855, shortly after childbirth and her daughter Mary Malinda Burke was raised by Rhoda Robbins. Thomas Burke joined the Union Army and moved to Missouri and then Texas after the war. I don't know what happened to any of the other children of Walter and Rhoda, but would love to find out more about the family. I would also like to know Rhoda's maiden name.
