Narrative

Benjamin and Hannah were parents of eight children. Their twinsons, Jonathan and Joseph, born in 1717, were named forBenjamin's twin brothers, born in 1686. Benjamin had a farm inChelmsford, near nashoba Hill, now on the Westford-Littletontown line.In 1728, Joseph underwood, Joshua Fletcher, and Benjamin Robbinswent as a committee to petition the General Court to set off thearea in which they lived as a new town (Westford). Ten yearslater, in 1738, it was voted "to allow Benjamin Robins one poundten shillings for his going to boston to git us a township."Benjamin also served as a tithingman and fish ward[en]. On 14May 1734, he bought land in Harvard with a house and shop on itand a five-acre right in the common or "undivided Land" in Stow.At the time of his death in 1770, Benjamin and Ann were livingin Westford at the home of his son Zachariah. Eighteen dayslater, on 21 September 1770, the "Children and Heirs at Law"sent a letter to Samuel Danforth, Judge of Probate, requestingthat Zachariah (the fifth son) be named administrator of hisfather's estate. This request was made by "Anes Robbins" thewidow; Jonathan Robbins, a grandson; John Tuttle, the husband ofdahguter Sarah; and Charles Eames, the husband of daughterHannah. On 26 October 1773 Zachariah Robbins of Westford,administrator of the estate of Benjamin Robbins late ofWestford, sold land from Benjamin's estate in Brandon, Vermont;witnesses were Benjamin Robbins and Zachariah Robbins, Jr.Benjamin's three oldest sons had predeceased him. The fourthson, Joseph was in poor health in 1770 as stated in the letterto Judge Danforth.The estate of Benjamin Robbins, "Husbandman," was valued at £60715s 7d, much of that sum owed by some fifty men to whom Benjaminhad lent money, all named in the inventory. Among the few itemslisted were a small amount of land, "a single slave, 2 pocketbooks, 2 purses, a leather apron, and Nibb irons."
