Biography of William ROBINS
Contributed By Dail Allen · 12 July 2014 ·

WILLIAM AND CHARLOTTE NIXON ROBINS William Robins was born in Cheltenham, England March 17, 1836. He was the son of Edmund Robins and Elizabeth Welch. He came to Utah with his family in 1854. The family first settled in Kaysville, Utah. As a young man William went to San Bernardino, California, but returned to Cedar Springs, which is now Holden, Utah. While living in Holden he met and married Charlotte Nixon July 7, 1859. They were later married in the Salt Lake Endowment House. Charlotte Nixon was the daughter of George and Francis Hart Nixon. She was born in Leek, England December 24, 1840. When she was a few months old her parents accepted the gospel, baptized and prepared to set sail for America with the Vincent Shurtliff Company in 1844. Her baby sister, Emma Maud, died on the journey. They first went to Nauvoo, but later moved to St. Louis, Mo. In 1852 they immigrated to Utah and settled in Fillmore. Charlotte’s father died and Fanny married Richard Johnson in Fillmore. When the Johnson family accepted the call to help settle Cedar Springs, Charlotte moved with her family to Holden. It was here that she met William Robins. Charlotte’s and William’s first child was born in Holden. When a settlement was to be established in Scipio, William Robins was one of the original seven settlers who tried to make a settlement in Graball in 1861. The settlement was only temporary as they were advised to move away from the mountains and farther into the valley where they could avoid the danger in case of an Indian uprising. They moved to Round Valley, now know as Scipio. William Robins furnished animals to help make trips to bring immigrant Saints to Utah. He also made two trips to Florence Nebraska to bring the Saints west. William acted as government interpreter for the Indians. He fought in the Indian War. He was a successful farmer and stock raiser. Charlotte and William operated the hotel in Scipio for many years. It was a gathering place for local people to come and visit and read the Deseret News William subscribed to. Charlotte and her girls prepared the rooms and meals and William and his sons helped with the vehicles and animals bringing the guests. Theirs was a house of hospitality to many people. Twelve children were born to William and Charlotte. All of the children grew to maturity and married. They were: William James, George Edmund, Joseph Riley, Marian Richard, Thomas Carl, Charlotte Irene, Frances Elizabeth, Emma Maud, Birdie Ellen, Blanche Lenore, Bert LeRoy and Annie Eugene. Charlotte suffered a stroke a few years before her death. She passed away February 16, 1915. William lived until September 16, 1917. They were both buried in the Scipio Cemetery.
