G. W. ROBB, the third son of Frederick and Mary (Neat) Robb, was born 
March 13, 1825.  His father was a native of Maryland, born in 1789, and 
when a boy came with his father to Jessamine County, Ky., where he was 
engaged in farming and milling.  Subsequently he removed to Franklin 
County, where the same occupations engaged his attention, and where he 
died in 1861.  His wife, Mary, was born in Maryland and died in 1855.  
Our subject's grandfather, Michael Robb, was a native of Germany, where 
his great-grandfather, Frederick B. Robb, was also born.  G. W. Robb is 
of German descent, was born in Jessamine County, reared in Franklin 
County and educated at the common schools.  In 1850 he commenced 
clerking in a general store at Lexington, remaining four years; then for
several years clerked at Frankfort and next was in business for himself 
in the latter place until 1863, when he bought his present place of 310 
acres, six miles west of Midway, Woodford County, where he makes a 
specialty of raising Shorthorn cattle and Cotswold sheep.  December 13, 
1860, he married Lizzie, daughter of A. W. and Jane (Macklin) Macklin of
Franklin County.  Of the four children born to this union, three are 
living: Mattie F., Jannie M. and Willetta.  George A. died April 3, 
1886.  Mattie F. and Jannie M. were educated at Georgetown College, 
Scott County, and Willetta at Pewee Valley Seminary, from which she 
graduated in 1883.  Mr. Robb and family are members of the Baptist 
Church.
