INDIAN WAR VETERAN DIES AT PARAGONAH
Name on headstone Thomas Robb
Birth 1848 - Sindney, Australia
Death 1931 - Paragonah, Utah
Thomas Robb, 83, resident and prominent citizen of Paragonah since 1857, and veteran of the Black Hawk Indian War died at his home on Monday, June 22, after a lingering illness of several months during which he suffered much.
He is survived by three children, Mary E. Prothero and Thomas W. Robb of Paragonah and James Robb of Salt Lake City, his wife having preceeded him in death by thirteen years. An account of the funeral service which was held yesterday afternoon will be found with other Paragonah news on the back page of this issue.
Mr. Robb was born in Sydney, Australia, May 15, 1848, one of the family of nine boys and three girls, children of William and Helen Bell Robb. With his parents he emigrated to America at the age of nine years, landing at San Pedro, California in 1857. They came on to Utah the same year with a company of Mormon converts and after a short sojourn at Cedar City, then Cedar Fort, they moved to Paragonah where he has since resided.
He was mustered into service during the Black Hawk Indian War on August 16, 1866, in Captain James Andrus' company and saw active service as a minute man. He was married to Alice Tattersol on February 27, 1871 in the endowment house in Salt Lake City.
He was a successful farmer and livestock man and a good citizen, contributing liberally of his time and money for the public good. He devoted much of his time in later years and spent considerable money in genealogical research and temple work for his family.
A large number of out-of-town people were here for the funeral, among them his brother George and the latter's son Orlo of Price, his daughter-in-law Mrs. James Robb and grand daughter Elaine of Salt Lake City.

You don't happen to have other Robb information? Such as Alonzo Robb born in 1851? I am looking for a Thomas Robb born in Maryland about 1825 or any more information on Alonzo Robb from the Philadelphia, PA area
ReplyDeleteIf you're lds, sign on to their genealogy site, and they have the Robb lineage all figured out...my grandpa completed it clear back to ancestors in Scotland. He also has it on ancestry.com if you sign up.
