Robbs Lineage, Old, Good, article by Marian McBride
Their son’s wedding is slated to be the first in the White House since 1918, married in the nation’s capital almost 31 years ago. Their son, Marine Capt Robb is scheduled to marry, the elder daughter of the president, sometime in December. ……….
The Robb family social connections cut deeper into Washington, DC than a casual residence. On both sides of the family, the antecedents spell old names in Washington, and into Virginia, Kentucky, and Charleston, SC. ……
The Washington papers featured the wedding of Miss Frances Howard Woolley and James Spittal Robb on Oct. 11, 1936. Coverage of the ceremony in the bride’s family home was muted because of the death of her mother just three months before. But there were detailed lists of out of town guests and a tracing of family trees back several generations. Mrs Robb’s father, Robert Wickliffe Woolley, had deep connections with the Wilson
Administration (the last presidential era when there were weddings in the White House). Woolley had been characterized as “the old man who elected
Woodrow Wilson in 1916.” He had been Wilson’s campaign manager. A former director of the United States mint and publicity director for the first liberty
loan drive in 1917, Woolley later served as a member of 12 emergency boards of the national mediation board from 1945 to 1947. At the age of 25, he had beensports editor of the Chicago Tribune. He went to Washington to do publicity for the Democratic party.
References in the wedding story included the history of
Mrs Robb’s wedding veil, which traced back to her great –grandmother, the late Sarah Howard Wickliffe, “a Kentucky beauty of the early nineteenth century and
daughter of Robert Wickliffe when she became the bride at Lexington (Ky) in 1825 of Aaron Kitchell Woolley, a noted lawyer and jurist of antebellum days,”….
Mrs Robb’s great-granduncle was Charles A Wickliffe, governor of Kentucky and later
postmaster general of the United States under President James K Polk. Through her mother, Mrs. Robb is a great-granddaughter of George A Trentholm, of Charleston, SC, a noted financier of the Old South and secretary of the treasuryof the Confederate States of America.
Gunston school, Centerville, Md, and
Holton Arms school, Washington, DC were listed as Mrs Robb’s schools. She was a
member of the Washington Junior league. Robb’s father was a native of Glasgow, Scotland, and a scion of two distinguished Scottish families, the Spittals, (Robb’s middle name and that of Capt. Robb) and the Robbs…….
Guests at the very small reception following the quiet wedding included names well known in the old south, Alexander, Page, Williams, Wiley, Cooke, Lee, Lauck, Maguire, and Lawson.
