Life

Sellers Robbins was the youngest of the children the FamilySearch tree gives to Solomon Robbins Sr. and Mary Martha Wilson; the tree records his birth in 1845 in South Carolina, without a source.1 The only record attached to him is the federal census of 1870, which listed Sellers Robbins in the household of his father, "Soloman Robbins", at Nixburg, Coosa County, Alabama.2 Inference The South Carolina birthplace probably comes from that census entry, since no other source is attached; it is unexpected for a family whose other children were born in Alabama from about 1817 onward, and the census page is worth reading.3 His given name is the maiden surname of his father's first wife, Mary Elizabeth Sellers.4 The tree gives no marriage and no death for him.1
