Only one family of the surname Columbia is listed on the 1800 and 1810 US Censuses. They are living in Dedham, Norfolk, Massacchusetts.

The following book has interesting information about the Columbia family who moved from Massachusetts to Ohio: "History of the Robbins family of Walpole, Massachusetts; descendants of William and Priscilla Robbins. Loveland, Utah Salt Lake City, Utah: O.B. Robbins; Robbins Genealogical Society, 1949". (Sally Columbia married Joseph Robbins.)

Pg 58 of Robbins book.
"Sally (Columbia) Robbins began a Robbins family record in a book about 6 1/2 by 8 inches in size, well bound in paste board covers. This book was later kept up to date by various members of the family."

Pg 59 of Robbins book.
".... In this book she also entered some records of the Columbia family and a sketch of the life of her father, Leuie Columbia -- a Frenchman, who was brought to America by his foster father at the age of six."

"(a) From 'Record of Leuie Columbia and his Descendents' by Sally (Columbia) Robbins, in the Robbins family record book, which was begun by her."

"(a) Record book begun by Sally (Columbia) Robbins presented to New England Historic-Genealogical Society 1939. -- With notes on genealogy of Columbia family."

Pg 60 of Robbins book:
"Leuie (named Louis by his father, changed by his adopted father to Leuie) Columbia was born in France, June 13, 1769. He came to America with his adopted father in 1775. The vesssel was taken by the English and carried to Halifax. In 1776 or 1777 the vessel was redeemed and brought into Boston.

He came with the crew into Boston, where he lived until 1785 when he went to Danvers and served an apprenticeship at shoemaking. He returned to Boston in 1790. He married Margaret Moore Ransted, the youngest daughter of John and Elizabeth Ransted of Boston. In 1792 he moved to Drochester with his wife and child. In 1799 he moved to Dedham with his wife and five children. In 1815 he moved to Amesville, Ohio, with his wife and youngest son and daughter; where he died Aug 25, 1825 aged 56 years 1 month and 23 days. His wife Margaret died in Fort Wayne Feb 27, 1837 aged 70 years 2 months and 21 days. (a)"

Pg 56 of Robbins book:
"Shortly after the marriage of Joseph Robbins and Sally Columbia, the latter's family removed to Ohio from Dedham. A number of letters written during the following years have been preserved, the first and one of the most interesting being as follows:

Marietta June 29 1815
Dear Sisters I sit down with great pleasure to write to you and inform you of my situation after crossing the Allegany Mountains, it being very tiresome. Mother has been better since she's been on her journey than she has been for seven years. I hope you are all in good health. Marietta seems more like home than any place that ever I was in. We came down from Pittsburgh in a large flat bottom boat without Sails or to row, distance one Hundred Sixty miles in three Days. Mrs. Robbins I wish to give you my love and respects to Mr. Robbins Mother and sisters and also to Mr. Nasons family, to Leonard and Lucy in particular and every inquiring friend of mine. Tell Mrs. Draper that I have got an Article of hers which I suppose she laments the loss of. I did not know I had it with me till I arrived in Marietta. Dear Brothers and Sisters we all arrived safe and well in this western world. We all enjoy perfect health. I hope to hear the same from you all.

Margaret Columbia to
Mrs. Robbins
Mrs. Draper
