It is very likely that his specific birthplace was Southbrook Township in Cottonwood County, for his family was living there when the 1880 Federal Census was taken, and state land records show his father, Charles H. Robbins, owned 80 acres of Section 3 during that time. The family of Angelo s mother, Viola Girtrude Peck, also lived nearby. Viola s stepfather, John Crapsey, an itinerant minister, and her mother, Lura Ann Jackson, lived on the neighboring farm with Viola s half-siblings. Angelo was named in honor of two uncles who had fought in the Civil War: Angelo M. Crapsey, his mother Viola s stepbrother; and Merrick Jackson, his grandmother Lura s brother. Angelo Robbins siblings were: William W. Willie Robbins (1865 – 1903); Burton W. Robbins (b. 1867); Edwin W. Robbins (b. 1869); Emma Robbins (Mrs. Lincoln Drake) (1872 – 1955); and Arthur A. Robbins (1880 – 1885). The Crapsey and Robbins families originated in New York and Pennsylvania. They immigrated to Minnesota via Western Michigan. Around 1883, the Robbins family returned to Newaygo County, Michigan. Although only a young boy when he left Minnesota, as an adult he recalled how he had learned to twist hay to burn as an alternative fuel source while living on the prairies, much like Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote about in her book The Long Winter (Chapter 19 - "Where There's a Will"). In Newaygo County, Angelo met his wife, Mary May Kimball, also known as Lula Weaver. They married in 1892 in Hesperia, Michigan. Their children were: Floyd Arthur Robbins (1893 – 1916); Lloyd R. Robbins (1894 – 1978); my great-grandfather, William Bryan Bill Robbins (1896 – 1972); their only daughter, Reva L. Robbins (1898 – 1926); Angelo Merrick Robbins, II (1904 – 1982); and Donald Charles R
