J. C. ROBB, farmer and stock raiser, residence three miles northeast of
Hawesville, Hancock County, was born in Jessamine County, Ky., October 23,
1826, son of Frederick and Mary (Neet) Robb.  Mr. Robb's paternal ancestors
were among the early pioneers of Jessamine County, settling about five
miles off Nicholasville, where the grandfather died a great many years ago.
Frederick Robb was born in the State of Maryland, but was taken to Kentucky
when a mere boy, and resided in Jessamine County until 1827, at which time
he moved to Frankfort, where his death occurred in 1861.  Subject's
maternal ancestors were of German descent and among the early settlers of
Maryland.  Mary Neet was born in the latter State; she was married to
Frederick Robb in Jessamine County, Ky., and died about 1858 or 1859.  The
subject of this sketch is the third of a family of eleven children, eight
of whom are living.  He was reared a farmer and received his education in
the schools of Franklin County, where he resided until 1867.  In 1861 he
entered the Confederate army, enlisting in Company K, Ninth Kentucky
Regiment, under command of Col. Thomas Hunt, with which he served until
1864.  He participated in a number of hard fought battles, among which were
Missionary Ridge, Jonesboro, Murfreesboro, Chickamauga and others.  In 1864
he was transferred to the Fifth Kentucky, with which he served until the
latter part of the same year, when he was mustered out of service.  After
leaving the army he returned to Franklin County, Ky., where he remained
until 1867, at which time he moved to Hancock County, and in February, of
the same year, was married to Mrs. Julia A. Barr, daughter of Robert C. and
Ann Beauchamp.  The following children have been born to this union:
William, Martha, James, Anna B., and Katie (deceased).  Mr. Robb is one of
the leading farmers of Hancock County, and one of its most substantial
citizens.  He belongs to the I.O.O.F., and is an active member of the
Presbyterian and his wife of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
