He executed deeds 14 Mar. 1678-9, to his son Samuel, of thirty-six acres, and to his son Nathaniel, of thirty-four acres; and another deed 7 June 1681 to his dau.

3. John, s. of Richard (2), was probably the same who was killed 8 July 1680, in what is now Lex. Judge Sewall, under that date, writes thus: ‘In the afternoon a whirlwind ariseth (at first in a small body), near Samuel Stone's, passeth on to Mat. Bridge's (taking part of Stone's barn with it), kills John Robbins, who was at hoe, breaking his arm and jawbone. It hurled stones, and brake off and transported trees in an unusual manner.’ The jury of inquest on the same day rendered their verdict concerning the death of John Robbins, whose body was found on the ground ‘within the bounds of Cambridge, about seven miles towards Concord.’ .. ‘We find him very much bruised, and his jawbone broken and one of his arms, and several other wounds about his head; which we judge to be by a most tempestuous storm or whirlwind, that after a most formidable manner blew up trees round about him, and removed great stones from under the fence that was just by him, with other most dreadful and amazing effects which many were eye-witnesses unto.’ I have found no record of his family.
