ROBBINS - LINDSEY
William Bailey Robbins 1820-1843 was the son of Charles Robbins Jr. (1798-186 ) and Bathsheba (Culpepper) 1800-187. Charles Robins Jr. was born in Ill. Or N.C. Charlie Robbins (1920-1986) wrote he was born in N.C. and Bathsheba was born in North Carolina. We think Charles Robbins Jr.'s father lived in Stewart County.
Bailey Robbins married Matilda Carline Lindsey (4-27-1843) and he died before his son William H. Robins was born. Matilda Caroline Lindsey Robins b. 1823 d. 3890 then married Burrell Wynn (1809-1892) on May 2, 1846. William H. Robins (1844-1938) then took the Wynn name and used it until he enlisted in the Army as William H. Robins.
As you see some of the Robbins spell their name with one "B," why? We do not know but by studying the family tree we think the correct spelling should be ROBBINS, but William H. Robins' government grave marker has one "B" in his name. He along with his mother and stepfather are buried in the Wynn Cemetery east of Faxon, Tennessee on the land that was owned by his stepfather Burrell Wynn.
William H. Robins (1844-1938) married Mary Eliza Ann Lockhart (1857-1894) on Feb. 27, 1872. Their children were: Annie, George, Walter, Oliver, Rosie, Della, Tennie, Mattie, Finley and Curtis. She died when Curtis was two years old with measles.
George W. Robins (1884-1927) married Ima Cleo Caplinger (1884-1927) on 6-27-1902. They had nine children: Salene Snapp, Lenden B., Brewer, Hulon (1910-1988). Maibelle Potts, Manie Ruth Brewer (1914-1988), Johnie A. and Raymond Robbins.
Lenden B. Robins married Bessie V. Melton on Sept. 21, 1924. They had two children: Imogene Robins Crank (1926-1987) and Lenden Floyd Robins b. 1928. He is Vice-President of the Benton County Genealogical Society.

ROBBINS - LINDSEY (2ND ARTICLE)
William B. was the son of Charles and Basheba Robbins. He was born in 1820 and died in 1843. He married Mathlida Lindsey, daughter of Edward Buxton Lindsey. They had one son, William H. who was born after his father died. William H. was born in 1844 and was known as Uncle Billy. Uncle Billy married Mary E. Lockhart in 1872. He was a Civil War Veteran. He died in 1938 at the age of 95, and is buried in the Wynn Cemetery near Crooked Creek.
One of Uncle Billy's children was George W. born 1874 and died 1954. George W. was a school teacher and many people around here were taught by him. He must be the one who dropped the B in Robbins, as his name appears as ROBINS. He married Ima Cleo Caplinger. His family history is in the first Benton County History Book.

His wife Nancy and his two children were living nearby with Nancy's mother Martha. Then my source said he married Sarah Elizabeth Brandon, who was first married to Shelby Robbins.
