General Notes: Husband - Ebenezer Robb

Robinson Twp, Washington Co, PA - a farmer and stock raiser

He was first a member of the Associate Reformed Church of Robinson's Run, and afterward joined the United Presbyterian Church at McDonald, serving as an elder in both societies. In politics he was originally a Whig, afterward a Republican. He took an active interest in educational matters, and served as justice of the peace two terms.

Squire Robb, as he was always addressed, possessed more than ordinary attainments. He served as a justice of the peace for many years, and took great interest in the affairs of his community. He had a strong will and a positive character, with a high sense of honor, and was noted for his great integrity. He was a devout and zealous member of the United Presbyterian church, serving many years as an elder, both in the Robinson and McDonald churches. Politically he was an old-line Whig. The old farm consisted of one hundred and fifty acres, upon which stood a log house, but in his day he built a new one and materially improved the place.
