Check the printed Pa. Archives, 3rd Series, it has a tax list for all of Pa.for the years 1771-1773-1779 and 1782. This should allow you to search for Robinets all over Pa. in that time frame. Most Pa. libraries have this series but if you live outside the state check a local university library, they may have parts of this series as part of their history collection. Your probably going to have to check the History of Cumberland County to find Trent's Gap, you can try the U.S. Genweb page for Cumberland County to see if they have parts of that history on-line. I don't have the url for the Cumberland County genweb page but if you go to the Conestoga Area Historical Society web page http://www.rootsweb.com/~pacahs/index.htm go to our links page and there is a link to the Pa. Genweb page. The Pa. Genweb page will allow you to go to any Genweb page in Pa. Cumberland County was formed from Lancaser County in 1750 so its possible that your Robinets never lived in the current Lancaster County but lived there before Cumberland County was formed. York County was formed from Lancaster County in 1749. There are tax lists for Lancaster County for 1750, 1770 and 1780, there are no tax lists from 1729, when Lancaster was formed, until 1750.
