Person:Doctor Robbins (1)

From OBR, p 171: "Doctor Crihfield Robbins, seventh generation from William and Priscilla (Gowing) Robbins, (See History of the Robbins Family of Walpole Massachussetts, by Dana W. Robbins 1949, page 136n) was born on his father Stillman's farm ner Claypool, Indiana. He was a Carpenter and not a Physician, the name Doctor given him, he being the 7th son in his father's family. Dr. Crihfield of Warsaw, Indiana, the attending Physician at his birth suggested Crihfield" be added. After marriage he first lived in a plank house on the farm of his wife's father, Daniel Jackson, where they were married. Later removed to a frame house on Main Street, in Laud, Indiana. About 1876 he erected a six room house a block farther south and adjoining the Jacob Ihrig home on the north, and where he resided until death. This was a two story frame house, all the outside lumber being milled, by Mills near by, from one yellow poplar tree; enough lumber from that tree being left over to build another house like it. His was a fine Christian Character, he along with his wife Sophronia Doty were prominent members of the United Bretheren Church about 3/4 of a mile south of Laud. At the birth of his first child, a son, he gave up the use of tobacco because he believed it to be a bad habit to set before his son. (That son never used tobacco, while his own five sons did)
