My gg grandmother was Susannah Chaney who married William T. Burton. They had 5 children and lived in Bartholomew Co. IN. William died and Susannah moved with her 5 children to Paris Crossing and she, Susannah Burton, joined the church in 1835. Her mother was Susannah Hill who married John Chaney.

My gg grandfather Benjamin Robbins rafted down the Ohio River from NY in 1836 with his second wife Mary. Benjamin and Mary Rob(b)ins joined the church in 1837. Mary died in Nov 1838. Benjamin Rob(b)ins married a third time to the widow lady Susannah Burton in 1839. Susannah Chaney/Burton/Robbins died Sept 1852. The daughter Susanah Burton was dismissed by letter in 1855 just before they moved to Davis County Iowa.

There is reference to Amos C. Burton who is one of the children. His middle name was Chaney.

From the records that we have to date Benjamin Robbins (born 1786) and his first wife Sarah Bailey were natives of Vermont and lived in Ovid (now Lodi), Seneca Co. NY in 1812 when their first son Archibald Robbins was born and in 1815 when their daughter Elizabeth (Betsy) Robbins was born. Benjamin and Sarah Robbins lived in Jersey Township in the vicinity of Lake Lamoka, Steuben County (now Tyrone Twp. Schuyler County) NY in 1820 when their son Caleb Robbins was born and when the New York census was recorded in 1820 and 1825.

Then I think Benjamin's first wife Sarah died about 1826 and Benjamin married his second wife Mary (Maria) about 1828. Benjamin Robbins and family were on the 1830 census record for Jersey in Steuben County NY and lived there when Nancy Robbins was born in 1833 and again when the 1835 New York state census was recorded. I think that Benjamin and Mary Robbins took Benjamin's teenage son, Caleb, plus their little toddler, Nancy, and went over to Olean NY and got on a flatboat with several other families and rafted down the Allegheny River through Pittsburgh PA and on down the Ohio River through Cincinnati, Ohio, to Vevay or Madison, Indiana, during the spring flood of 1836. They settled in Jennings County, Indiana where Charles Robbins was born October 25, 1836. Benjamin Robbins bought land on June 27, 1837, just south and east of where the Cana cemetery is today in Marion Township. Benjamin and Mary Robbins joined the Coffee Creek Baptist Church at Paris Crossing, Indiana, in July of 1837. Their son Aaron Robbins was born July 8, 1837. But, then Benjamin's second wife, Mary, died in November of 1838.

On June 16, 1839, Benjamin Robbins married a third time to a widow lady, Susannah Chaney Burton, who had been a member of the Coffee Creek Baptist Church in Paris Crossing since May of 1835. She had five children from her first husband, William T. Burton, before he died in Bartholomew County, Indiana. Benjamin and Susannah Robbins bought two adjacent 40 acre parcels by Paris Crossing about one half mile south of the old Coffee Creek cemetery on January 26, 1844, and probably lived there when their daughter, Emily Robbins, was born as well as when their son, Benjamin Jackson Robbins, was born on May 30, 1845. The combined families of Benjamin and Susannah Robbins appeared on the September 11, 1850, census for Montgomery Township, Jennings County, Indiana.

Susannah Chaney Burton/Robbins died in September of 1852. Two of the Burton children, John and Rebecca, and their spouses sold Susannah's 40 acres on May 3, 1854. In June of 1854 Benjamin Robbins was excluded from the membership roll of the Coffee Creek Baptist Church in Paris Crossing, Indiana, because he joined a church of another denomination.

In 1855 the Burton and Robbins children decided to move out west to Kansas. The oldest girl, Susannah Burton, was dismissed by letter of transfer from the membership roll of the Coffee Creek Baptist Church in Paris Crossing, Indiana, in August of 1855. Shortly after leaving Indiana they were advised not to go to Kansas because it was a border state between the North and the South. So, they would have gone to Nebraska then but the youngest Burton girl, Sally, was very frail and became quite ill so they stopped in Bloomfield IA to take care of her. Sally died in Iowa.

On August 11, 1856, Benjamin Robbins sold his 40 acres at Paris Crossing, Indiana. At a Coffee Creek Baptist Church business meeting on the 3rd Saturday in June of 1857 Benjamin Robbins was restored to the church membership roll and then dismissed by letter of transfer at the same meeting. Benjamin may have died soon after that because a short biography of Aaron Robbins reported that his father died in Indiana at the age of 70.

The older boys in the Burton-Robbins family worked at a brick factory in Bloomfield IA where they knew the Headrick family. Amos Burton married Lavina Headrick, Charles Robbins married Nancy Pollard, Aaron Robbins married Frances Welch and Emily Robbins married Mortan C. Floyd while they all lived in Davis County Iowa. Benjamin Jackson Robbins lived in the home of Amos and Lavina Burton. In 1863 to 1865 all of the families, except maybe Emily's, moved out near Ashland in Saunders County, Nebraska. Emily may have died in Davis County Iowa about 1868. In 1874 Benjamin Jackson Robbins married Amelia Beyer who was born in 1853 in Gebesee, Germany.
