Thanks,
Mary's brother is John Henry. I understand that Catherine (Sophia) Randolph
Robbs, James Robbs's wife couldn't read or write either. I notice Burton
Robbs is in the family. He is buried at Sulfur Springs and was probably a
justice of the peace. He was at a lot of weddings. I think John's father
and James may be cousins. Let me know if you find out anything. I have
some interesting things of the Robbs family if you would like to see them.
I deleted my Robbs folder, so I will probably have to locate some of my
sources again...
