That's true--I looked up 'Rittenhouse' in the geneology section, and it had the son as the father, and some other errors in a short space, but it was still interesting. It's good to point that out, though, because there's not a lot of information for a lot of families, and this info should definitely be taken with a grain of salt. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary Jo C.

>From Geneva Gazette 15 April 1881 (Ontario Co., NY ) http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyontari/RotoRogobituaries.htm Samuel Robinson - We had barely time to announce in our last the death of this venerable citizen. The event occurred a few minutes before 3 o'clock p.m. of Friday the 8th inst. The deceased was known to nearly every man, woman and child in Geneva, so long had he gone to and fro among us. He was a native of Tewksbury, Hunterdon county, N. J., born March 29th, 1797 - making his age a few days over 84 years. He emigrated to this state in 1826, and early in the following year settled in Geneva. His first labor was performed in Teall's mill at the outlet. In the few years following he was employed as a teamster by the Messrs. Rumney, merchants and owners of the steamboat on Seneca Lake. Still later and for many years he labored for the Messrs. Hastings, merchants and extensive grain buyers and shippers in their day. Successive merchants like Mr. Hughes, Mr. Cobb, and Messrs. J. W. Smith & Co. found in him reliable and faithful help in packing wool, fruit &c. Without a trade, he was always willing and cheerful to perform any labor that his hands found to do, was never idle if employment could be had. In 1836 Mr. Robinson united by profession of faith with the First Presbyterian Church of this village, and there is good evidence for the belief that he lived ever afterwards the life of a God-fearing and God-serving Christian. Three children were born to him - one son and two daughters - all of whom survive. The son, Joseph, and one daughter, Mrs. Van Tuyl, reside here, and were most affectionate and assiduous in their attention to the aged and loved parent in his last illness, which providentially was of but short duration. In his case the machinery had fairly worn out by age. He fell at last like a shock of corn fully ripe. The funeral of deceased took place last Monday, Rev. Dr. Nelson officiating. Amongst the attendants were all the shopmates of Mr. Van Tuyl from T. Smith & Co.'s steam bending works, the proprietors kindly closing the factory for such purpose.
