Robbins family, d. intestate and of record at Wethersfield June 27, 1660. The inventory of his estate totaling £579-18-04 was made July 2, 1660. There is much conflicting and unsubstantiated claims regarding the origins and parentage of John Robbins. The memorialist choses not to further undocumented information in this memorial for his ancestor and to refer to John simply as John Robbins, Sr. John purportedly m. a Mary Wells in England. Regardless of whether she was John's wife and the mother of all his children, the wife of the immigrant John Robbins, called Mary in the Wethersfield records, purportedly d. "about the middle of Sept. 1659." On Oct. 4, 1660 administration of John Robbins' estate was granted to Richard Treat, Thomas and Samuel Welles, along with John Chester who was "to preserve the Estate for the Relict." Then on June 5, 1662 when the first order to distribute the estate was made the record does not include any mention of John's wife. As a consequence, the memorialist has adjusted the more probable date of death of the widow Mary to Sept. 1661. An extended bio will be added later.

II, pp. 141-2, follows: • John Robbins, Wethersfield, inventory of £579-18-04 taken July 2, 1660 by Richard Treat, Thomas Welles & Samuel Welles. • Administration granted Oct. 4, 1660 to Mr. Treat, Mr. Thomas & Mr. Samuel Welles, with John Chester to preserve the estate for the relict.
