If you are asking about Henry, son of William Robbins and Frances Emery, yes, he is the youngest of nine children. They are: Robert Emery, Elizabeth, William, Mary, Frances, Jane, Susannah, John (my ancestor) and Henry who married Relief French and eventually settled in Clayton Co., Ohio. I have a fair amount on the family of Henry and Relief as well as some descendants. I got the names of William and Frances's children searching land records of United Empire Loyalists.

I can provide some information on Frances Emery's parentage. Her parents were William Emery (Emry), a tailor, and Elizabeth Millward (Milward) who were married in St. Peter's Anglican Church, Albany, NY, 26 Dec. 1769 (church records). Both were members of the household of John Tunnicliffe, a wealthy, English-born businessman and property developer (Colonial Albany People website). Frances and her twin sister Jane were born on 30 May 1770 and baptised on 5 June 1770 in St. George's Anglican Church, Schenectady, NY (church reords). What William did during the Revolution is unknown; but in 1786 he appeared in Ontario and filed a declaration as a loyalist. He was on the Glengarry County list of Loyalists receving food supplies in 1786, took the Loyalist oath in 1796, and died in 1802 (will in ON archives). Although he lived in Glengarry, he received a land grant in the Front of Leeds township, which was later taken up by his son Thomas. Incidentally, Mr. and Mrs. Robbins seem to have been next-door neighbors to Thomas Emery in Leeds.--Bob Emery, Albany, NY
