William Henry Harrison Robbins was wounded at Haine's Bluff on 1 Jan 1863 at the beginning of the Vicksburg Campaign. He died a week later. He was one of four brothers - sons of Stillman Robbins - who were killed fighting for the Union in the Civil War. A fifth brother survived the war, but was captured and spent 18 months as a prisoner in Libby Prison and Andersonville.

William (9-30-1840 - 10-4-1865) was murdered by men who had also served in the Civil War in Rockford, IN at the Arbor Saloon. Even though the men were identified by witnesses, and the attack was unjustified, the men were acquitted. William's parents were Jacob Frederick Mowerer and Agnes Robinson. William was buried at the Craig Cemetery which was moved from the area now known as the Jefferson Proving Grounds.
