I believe the following information from Jo Church,
Marion County, SC finally makes
the connection between Thomas, Jr. and Thomas,
Sr. as father & son.

Re Jo's information on the Edgecombe Co, NC families:
There was a Robbins
family in Marion Co, SC, on Buck Swamp. They resided
and owned lands about
1800 in vicinity of Samuel Smith lands on Buck
Swamp and seemed to be located
on what is now Hwy 917 between Smithboro and Latta.
This family, if I'm not mistaken,
was headed by a Thomas Robbins. They are found
in the deeds of Marion Co.
Thomas probably was still living in his father,
Jacob's household in Edgecombe Co.,
NC on 1790 Census, because he would have been
only about 15 years old:

Thomas, Sr. & Mary moved from Edgecombe Co.,
NC sometime between 1810 & 1814,
when he bought land on Buck Swamp in Marion Co.,
SC on 24 Jan 1814 from Charles
Moody, Sr., who may have been a relative of Mary's,
but haven't proved this yet.

came into quite a good sum of money to be purchasing all this land.) Signed:

The 4 older sons did not move to AL with Thomas
& Mary in the 1830s, but John had moved
there by 1845. Frederick stayed in Marion Co.,
SC until after the 1840 census was enumerated,
then moved back to Edgecombe Co., NC for awhile,
but was back in Marion Co. by the 1860
census. Kinchen and Ichabod may have been living
with Frederick because I've found no census
records for them in either NC or SC. However,
Ichabod had moved to AL by 1839 because on
13 Apr 1839, he bought a parcel of land at Range
17 East Township 4 North - no Section listed;
and on Jul 1, 1841 he bought 3 parcels of land
totaling about 127.75 acres in Covington Co. at
Range 17 East, Township 4 North, Sections 3 &
4. He was living in Conecuh Co. by 1860, and
his elderly father, Thomas, aged 85, was living
with him. Mary obviously died after the 1850
census was enumerated because she isn't listed
in the household of Ichabod in 1860 or on
any later census records.

Notes for Mary CRIBB?

Old Judge Jones's notes state: "Thomas
Robbins, born 1773, and married Mary Crib/Croft [hard to decipher], daughter
of [names erased, but they appear to be Solomon Moody and Priscilla Crib/Croft."
He
goes on to list twelve children of Thomas and
Mary Robbins. I'll send his list of names if you want it. But,
here's my question: Was Mary's surname Crib or Croft? Why did
she not go by the name of Moody? Or, was Jones's source inaccurate?
Almost all of Judge Jones's materials are oral
history notes, some made as early as the nineteen-teens, but most made
in the twenties and thirties. Jones interviewed the oldest family members
he could. I have found his notes to be very valuable in giving clues
that help me trace maternal lines
and discover the whereabouts of early families
that moved west.
