Census Notes for Aaron & Martha Ann (Family)
1850 census of Fleming Co., Ky, division 2, enumerated 14 Aug, lists on p. 9 as family #56:
Spencer Robins, 68, farmer, b. Delaware; Mary Robins, 59, b. Delaware; Aaron Donathan, 26, farmer, b. Ky; Martha Donathan, 21, b. Ky; Jackson Caldwell, 23, laborer, b. Ky; Nancy Jane Donathan, 3, b. Ky; Emily Donathan, 1, b. Ky.

I know of no relationship between the Robins/Robbins family and the Donathan or Staton families. Aaron was probably a hired live-in farm hand.

I cannot find this family in the 1860 census.
