I have transcribed this to the best of my ability. I have left original wording and spelling as it was in the original document. Where the word or meaning was not readable I tried to provide a hint where ever possible. Please note also that Levi spelled his surname name and that of William, as ROBINS. In the same area of Blount, Jefferson and Walker Counties, at least two other Robbins Clans resided, they spelled their surname as ROBINS. In many latter documents all three groups adopted the spelling ROBBINS.
