great grandfather, James Theordore Robbins was sent to prison in 1896.
In the book, "<st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Oregon</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">State</st1:PlaceType> Penitentiary" records of inmates
Prepared by <st1:State w:st="on">Oregon</st1:State> Genealogical
Society, Eugene Oregon, indicates he was charged with rape from <st1:place

and sentenced to 35 years. I can’t find any information concerning
what happened to him. He left four children to be raised by his wife’s
parent. She died in 1887. The following information is all I have
found.<o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>
