ROBB is mostly accurate. I have her birthdate as May 20, 1838. She was according to census records born in Missouri. Her father, James LESSLEY was a Virginian and in my research I had his birthdate placed at 1776-1777. His second wife was Susan HINKLE. They were married Aug 4, 1831 in Fayette Co., KY (you can find the record in the Fayette Co. courthouse). I had put Susan's date of birth at between 1807-1809 in Kentucky. I only have 8 kids for the marriage but I could have missed one! I have found Sarah (aka Sallie) in the 1850 and 1860 Randolph County census. She was married Jan 11, 1855 to Samuel ROBB. The names listed for Sarah's children are identical to the ones listed in my records. I have a little information on Jonas Robb the son of Samuel and Sarah Lessley Robb. I have his birthdate as 1868 (it could be wrong, actually the 1863 date seems more accurate to me) and that he married Stella Moses and had at least 2 children - Mary and Leslie (b. Aug 14, 1887). I have Jonas' date of death as Aug 22, 1914. With any luck future postings of the Higbee News may speak of it. There was another Lessley-Robb marriage I didnt mention. Samuel had a brother, Nathaniel who married Mary Ann Lessley - sister of Sarah. I have the following children listed for them: Joseph W. Susan James Anne Belle Carole
