Robert (ba.1851) was the s/o Robert (ba.1826) born in Earith, Huntingdonshire, England & Hannah (ba.1830), she died before the 1861 census, not much is known of her except that she left five children: (1) Sarah (ba.1849) - Listed in the 1851 & 1861 census (2) Robert (ba.1851) - Listed in the 1851 & 1861 census, married in England, three of his five children were born in England, his eldest, Joseph, was born 13 May 1873 in Prickwillow, Cambridgeshire, England. The family emigrated to the US in 1880, their fourth child, Emma was born 12 Sep 1881 in Russell, Warren County, Pennsylvania. Their 5th child Emma (1891-1891) is buried in Cassadaga. (3) Joseph (ba.1853) - Listed in the 1861 thru 1901 England Census, married Hannah (ba.1851) born in Doddington, Cambridgeshire, England, they had two children, Agnes E. (ba.1877) & William I. (ba.1888), both also born in Sutton. (4) Mary (ba.1856) - Listed only in 1861, a short listing, either married early, deceased , or resided with a relative. (5) Hannah (ba.1859) - Listed in 1861 & 1871 Census location Sutton, Cambridgeshire, England for all years (1851 thru 1901), apparently all of the children were born there. Robert (Sr) went on to marry twice more, second wife was Mary (ba.1815/21) born in Witcham, Cambridgeshire, England, she is listed in the 1871 & 1881 Census). Third wife was Eleanor / Ellen (ba.1824/21) born in Cambridgeshire, England, she is listed in the 1891 & 1901 Census. I am looking for confirmation to the above, plus any additional information, and whether any others in this family emigrated. I had previously believed that Robert of Cassadaga was a brother of Richard of Lamberton, Pomfret Township, but this is not the case.
