Biography
Obedience was born in Virginia about 1722. Her parents were William Bradshaw and Judith Scruggs[1]
She married Field Robinson about 1739.[2] They were the parents of nine children, Obedience, William, Daniel, Joseph, Temperance, Judith, Field Jr, Elizabeth, and Nancy. [3]
It is not known when or where Obedience died or is buried. She appears to have been dead prior to 7 March 1785 when Field Robinson wrote his will in Littleton Parish of Cumberland County. The will names only his children and no wife.
