Question

Looking for Harvey Robbins, father of Jacob born 1796 Rensselaer NY

Comments

Birth year and location for Jacob Robbins and father's name make for a good start, but more information would be useful to sleuth out an answer to Harvey Robbins question. Do you have the name of Jacob's mother? Is there a birth year and location for Harvey Robbins that you can share? Location could include state, county and or city of birth. Is there any other location that you might have for Harvey or Jacob, such as marriage year and location, death year and location?

Answer 1

I have a church record of Jacob Robins son of Harvey and Anna Waker marriage to Maria Catharina Weber daughter of Peter and Elisabetha Bodmann in 1821. I believe Jacob was born ca. 1796 in Rensselaer NY. I am trying to find more information on Harvey and Anna.

This Harvey Robbins birth year estimate of 1834 would be too late to be the father of Jacob Robbins who was born in 1796.
