William Samuel Robbins was the son of Thomas Edward Robbins (1846–1864) and Susan Melinda Cozart (1845–1915); he was born March 3 1864 either in Caldwell or Watauga County of NC. [Thomas and "Melinda" were married in 1862 in Caldwell County. *Note: Thomas died after Battle of Chancellorsville in the War of Northern Aggression; Sam's death record lists Sam Day as father; research need on who he was*]
