According to SpaldingGenealogy, "arrived in Virginia by 1628. He was appointed one of the first commissioners [justices] of Accomack Co. in 1632, was six times a member of the House of Burgesses, and a member of the Council. Col. Robins settled on a 950 a. tract "Salt Grove" or "Cherrystone" on Cherristone Creek, n.w. of modern-day Cheriton in Northampton Co. which passed to his son, Major John Robins, and continued in the family until 1866. He married Grace Waters, widow, after 1630, and died abt. 1662."
His name, and his family's names, indicate that he was Puritan. On Virginia Puritans in the early Chesapeake, see Kevin Butterfield, "Puritans and Religious Strife in the Early Chesapeake," Virginia Magazine of History and Biography 109.1 (2001): 5-__. The history of Puritans in the south differs from New England; most were gone from Virginia by 1650, either assimilated into the Church of England or moved to Maryland. [4]
