| Notes |
Benjamin Robbins named the community "Centreville" after his hometown, Centreville, New Jersey, and because it was located between two rivers and central to other communities like Dayton and Lebanon. By 1900 the U. S. Post Office changed the spelling to Centerville.
...Benjamin Robbins was a son of Anna (Race) and Richard Robbins who was an emigrant from Wales in the middle of the eighteenth century. Benjamin was born in Monmouth county, New Jersey on 29 November, 1780. He was a surveyer and farmer by training.
...From 1786 to 1789 they lived at Redstone, Old fort, Pennsylvania.
...From 1790 to 1796 they lived at Dry Ridge, Kentucky.
...Bathsheba and Benjamin Robbins reached Centerville, Ohio on 16 April, 1797 being the second settlers in Washington township.
...Benjamin first built a log cabin in 1797 that was blown down in a violent storm. He then built a stone cottage on the same site in 1803. He discovered a den of snakes close to his house one day. He called for volunteers, and with the help of twelve of his neighbors they killed 400 snakes, mostly rattlesnakes, in one day.
...He enlarged and improved his house with a two-story addition about 1820 to become the decorative and sophisticated two-story dwelling that serves as a funeral home today (1992). the large fireplaces at the north and south ends of the front downstairs room are still intact and graced with decorative, Federal mantels. In 1837 the Benjamin Robbin's home was sold to his son, Samuel S. Robbins for $4,515.00. (Source: Compiled by Irene L.
