I AM IN AN ONGOING PROCESS TO DETERMINE WHO THE FAMILY OF JAMES ROBINSON/ROBERTSON (1744-1825) WAS. HE WAS THE HUSBAND OF CATHERINE PROVOST/PROVOOST. HE WAS A SHIPBUILDER. HIS CHILDREN WERE JAMES, JONATHAN, MARGARET, SARAH, ALETTA, MARIA, JOEL AND PETER PRAA. THEY LIVED ON ROOSEVELT, LIBERTY AND CHAMBER STREET BEFORE RETIRING TO PISCATAWAY, NJ IN 1815. IN THE RECORDS OF THE TIME THERE ARE SEVERAL JAMES ROBINSON/ROBERTSONS. HOWEVER, THERE IS LITTLE EVIDENCE TO CONNECT THESE INDIVIDUALS TO THE OTHER ROBINSON/ROBERTSONS IN THE CITY AT THE TIME SUCH AS JOHN, JONATHAN, WILLIAM, THOMAS AND CALEB. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO HEAR FROM INDIVIDUALS WITH EXCELLENT INFORMATION ABOUT NEW JERSEY ROBINSON/ROBERTSON FAMILIES THAT MAY BE ASSOCIATED. ANY INFORMATION WILL ALLOW ME TO BEGIN A PROCESS OF ELIMINATION. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
