Cindy: Thanks once again for your input into my Phebe problem. As I told Bob, I was fishing for new people with new information. Somewhere there has to be research information that I can access. When I get back up north, I will dig into some new archives. The Wevertown, North Creek , Town of Johnsburg Robblees do have to have some more clarity and research. The Church information about being dismissed was something that was done even in this area. My mother had the same papers after she was married. The original church membership was canceled and an introduction letter was issued to the new church membership. Joan Reynold's Methodist Church book for the Johnsburg Methodist Church has many examples of this process. Maybe they should re-introduce the warning letter now. Would eliminate a lot of welfare problems. Thanks for all of the time you put in on these areas. It really does help solidify information about the many Robblees.

In my notes about Philip Robblee/Rublee, I mentioned: "Philip was in Monkton, Vermont as early as 23 Jan 1808 when he was warned out of the town." Warning out was a phenomenon that occured in Vermont towns, and I believe other New England towns as well. At that time, the towns were responsible for supporting residents who could not support themselves -- this was an early version of "welfare" as we know it now. So, towns took to "warning" new arrivals out of town. This took the form of official written notice that the family was to leave town, and that the town was not liable for their support. Warned out families very often stayed put. But, they were on notice that if they could not support themselves, the town was not responsible. The second phrase is: "Polly Robblee was dismissed from the church in New Haven in May of 1836, to the Baptist Church in Bristol, VT. Was she a daughter? What about the Phebe Rublee who was dismissed from the Congregational Church in New Haven, VT in May of 1828 to the Baptist Church in Bristol, VT?" It sounds awful, but is not necessarily so. In those day, the term was rather neutral. Usually, it meant that the church member was leaving town. It was often coupled with a letter of recommendation that the member could take to a church in the new town or residence. So, dismissal can often give you a clue about the exact dates of a move from one place to another. The bottom line is that these terms do not suggest the individual or family was ne'er-do-well, but rather than they were mobile!

Hi Jim -- I think you are right to look at the sons of Reuben Robblee and Phebe as candidates for Phebe’s father. Here is my thinking: (1) Thomas Robblee m. Chloe Everts – last definite child Laura born 3/3/1802. A number of his children when to North Creek. However, his daughters are named in his will, and do not include a Phebe. (3) Reuben Robblee m. Mary “Molly” Everts –They were having children up through 1815. However, in the census, there aren’t any “extra” females. (4) Nathaniel Robblee (mother named Phebe Austin) m. Phebe Rockwell. This family is a little mysterious, and not well documented. The 1810 census does not suggest a daughter born 1802, but look at the 1820: By 1810, the household in Granville included two males 10-16 (Son 1, born 1794-1800 and Son 2, born 1800-1810). 1 male 26-45 (Nathaniel is 39) ; and 1 female 26-45 (Phebe, age unknown) In 1820, a Nathaniel Roblee household is listed in Granville. The household comprised: 2 males under 10; 2 males over 45 1 female under 10 1 female 10-15 1 female over 45. (5) Phillip m. Eunice _____ In 1800, Philip Rubelee was living in Granville, NY. Both he and his wife were between 26 and 45. They had one son under the age of 10 (Samuel, b. abt 1799) Almost certainly this is the same Philip Rublee who settled in Addison County, VT. Philip was in Monkton, Vermont as early as 23 Jan 1808 when he was warned out of the town (Rollins, 1995, p. 47). He stayed on in Monkton, as he was counted in the census there in 1810 as Philip Rubble. At that time, the household consisted of a male and a female 26-45; a male 10-16 (Samuel, age abt 11), a male under 10 (who?) and two females under 10 (who? See below). Erastus Rubble appears on the same page. Erastus was Philip's first cousin. In 1820, he was counted in Bristol. His household comprised a male over 45; a female 26-45; a male 26-45; a female 16-26 and one female 10-16. By 1830, he was in New Haven, VT. Then, the household was a male and a female between 40 and 50; a male 20-30; a male and a female 15-20; and a female 10-15. In 1840, he continued to live in Bristol. It appears that only he and Eunice were in the houshold, both between ages 60 and 70. Philip Robblee joined the Congregational Church in New Haven on 12 June 1831. Eunice joined on 3 Jul 1831, as did Polly Robblee and Samuel Robblee. Polly Robblee was dismissed from the church in New Haven in May of 1836, to the Baptist Church in Bristol, VT. Was she a daughter? What about the Phebe Rublee who was dismissed from the Congregational Church in New Haven, VT in May of 1828 to the Baptist Church in Bristol, VT? I am tentatively placing them as daughters here, consistent with the 1810 census. However, note that Philip had a sister Phebe whose history is not known. Between 1826 and 1831, Philip Rublee bought and sold land in Bristol, always together with Samuel Rublee. Tentatively, these two men were father and son. More research is needed on this family. Philip Rublee was still in Bristol in the 1840 census, but does not appear in the 1850 Vermont census. Tentatively, he died between 1840 and 1850, but his death is not recorded in the Vermont Vital Records. (7) Luther, bpt. 1781. No further record. Did he die young? (8) Samuel m. Mariam Hinkley. Samuel is not your Phebe’s father – he had a daughter Phebe who married Simeon Montague. The sons of William Robblee and Keturah Baker are pretty well accounted for, and none of them had any connections to Granville or Johnsburg. Cindy Walcott

Posted previously at Roblee at Rootsweb. My Phebe Robblee was born: 5 Aug 1802 and died 31 Jul 1847 of TB at Johnsburg, NY and is buried at Wevertown, NY She married John Richards Jr. 28 Mar 1838. John Jr. b. 6 Feb 1797 at Wevertown, NY. d. 13 Dec 1878 buried at Wevertown, NY Children: Hugh Rees Richards: b. 16 Jun 1840 d. 22 Nov 1917 Buried at Bates Cemetery, Johnsburg, NY William Henry Richards: b. 27 Jul 1844 d. 16 May 1932. Buried at Bates Cemetery, Johnsburg, NY (unproven) Phebe is referred to as “Miss Phebe Robblee” in the family Bible. This may be a result of having been a teacher at the time of her marriage. Or, she could be called “Miss” because teachers could not be married at the time. I have looked at many records for a Phebe who was married to a Robblee and was either divorced or widowed. Nothing points in that direction. She married at 36. This is old for the area for a first marriage. John was 41 and was old for a first marriage, but I have no record of his being married before 1838. Later census state that he was married twice. After Phebe’s death John Jr. married Diadama Clark-Gates 14 Jun 1849. I do have record of John B. Richards b. 1828 and d. 1847 at Johnsburg of TB and could have been in census of 1840 living with John and Phebe. They both died within months of each other. I cannot prove if John B. is related or not. Also have a Robert Richards age 17 in 1850 census without reference to parents living with John Jr.’s brother Edward. I have thought that the name Phebe was from Phebe Austen as a grandmother. Reuben married Austen. There is no record of them having a male child who had Phebe Robblee. Reuben died 1795. Nathaniel had a Phebe who died young. Jim Fortier’s line. Luther Sr. had a daughter born 3 Sep 1802 which eliminates him. Theron is too young. there is: Hiram b. 1769 Andrew: b. 1772 Francis b. 1779 John Brush R. b. 1779 Erastus b. 1782. Philip Thomas W. b 1761 married to Chloe Evarts Any of these could be her father. I have not finished looking for each of these in census. Hope this is not too confusing.

Hello, All, Recently, I tried to contact Harry Williams, a member of our group. He is not at his listed address. If you have time, would you check the email listings at the website? First, verify that yours is correct. Second, check those addresses of those of the list with whom you have had recent contact and see if they are current. I have notified Doug as well and hopefully, between these efforts, we will be able to bring these listings to current status. HOpe to hear from you soon. Bob

Hello, All, I know that this reminder will seem early and remote from the event, but as Becki and I have been checking this years' travel plans, we noticed that it is half time. That is to say, that the next reunion is 18 months away and that is has been 18 months since the last one in 2005. The next Reunion is planned for the weekend of July 12, 2008 here in Innisfail, Alberta, Canada. Phone # 403 227 2912. Plan your trip around your vacation and plan to visit some of the attractions here in Alberta. The Calgary Stampede runs through the first 2 weekends of July. Banff is less than 2 hours travel from Calgary and most of the other mountain attractions are easily reached from there. West Edmonton Mall, the predecessor to the Mall of America is 2 hours north of Innisfail. We have adequate room for those who arrive by RV. My neighbor has several rustic cabins available across the road but keep in mind that they are very basic, a roof over your head. Hotels and motels are available in Innisfail, Olds, and Red Deer. Let us know your plans and we will help where we can from this end. HOpe to see you all then. Bob and Becki Robblee

This is from this week's NEHGS newsletter. I haven't explored it yet, but thought it might be helpful to our Robblee cousins whose forefather and mothers wandered north! Cindy Research Recommendations OurRoots.ca/NosRacines.ca by Michael J. Leclerc Those researching their New England ancestors usually discover quickly how tied the history of New England is to that of eastern Canada. Many New Englanders left as early as the eighteenth century to settle in parts of Canada such as Ontario, Québec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. In the nineteenth century, the descendants of many of these individuals, along with the descendants of other early Canadian families, left for better prospects working in the mills of New England. www.OurRoots.ca/NosRacines.ca is a bilingual website that can assist you in researching your Canadian ancestors.

I was e-mailing with some folks in Saratoga County researching some of my other lines a few years ago and a lady mailed me some info on the ROBLEEs in Saratoga County. I put it in my keepers and forgot about it. Maybe you already have this info, but will pass it on now.

Generation One 1. Percival1 Roblee, b. abt 1828 in Kendall, Orleans, NY?, (son of Reuben Roblee and Mary H. "Polly" Spicer) d. bef 1900 in TX?. In 1850, Percival was still single and living with his parents in Gaines, NY. At the time of the 1855 New York census, he was living in Kendall, Orleans, NY. He was 25, born in Orleans County. His wife Julia was 22, born in Monroe Co. The children were Mary, age 3; Emma, age 1 and a daughter, "M.", age 3 mos. I cannot find himn in the 1860 census anywhere. Presumably, in 1870, Percival was living in Missouri, and son Charles was born there and daughter Mary married there about that time. I have been unable to find him in the1870 census there, even with creative searching. I did find Mary living in Chillicothe, Livingston Co., MO with her husband Richard Williams who was 42, born in KY and a saloon keeper. She was 18. They were living in a hotel. In 1880, Percival and Julia Roblee were living in Lampasas, Lampasas Co., TX. It does not seem probably that Julia was the mother of all of these children; she would have been too young: Pereivet ROBLEE Self M Male W 52 NY Laborer NY NY Julia ROBLEE Wife M Female W 40 NY K.

There are way too many Charles in Texas, and I am not confident that I have them sorted out properly. Here is what I have on Charles, son of Arial. He also had a son Charles. Will send a different message on the other Charles. Cindy 3. Charles Albert2 Rublee, (Arial Parker1) b. abt 1854 in Barre, La Crosse, WI?,4 d. bet 1920-1930 in Crandall, Kaufman, TX?. The soundex index to the 1900 census suggests that Charles A. Rublee was living with business partner Robert B. Wills in Dallas, TX with his wife, Oliva (?) and children Clarence, Grace and Rossa (male, born 8/1886). The children were born in Texas. In 1920, Charles A. Rublee was living in Crandall, Kaufman Co., TX. He was then 65 and Olive was 54. In the home were their children Charles A. Rublee, Jr., age 18; Ariel P. Rublee, age 17; Adaline, age 14; and Henry C., age 13. Charles Sr. was farmer. In 1930, Olive Rublee was a widow, living with her daughter Adeline Lancaster in Dallas. She was 65. According to Linda Milan, Charles Rublee developed a new cotton seed resistant to the boll weevil. After years of experimentation and sacrifice he perfected the seed. Just when he had received backing to market the seed, he died suddenly. Is this the Charles A. Rublee who was postmaster in Seagoville, Dallas, Tx between 15 Dec 1897 and 1 Mar 1909? 1914 First Cotton Bale Received in Dallas John Shepard, an aged negro, gets the honor of bringing to this city, the first bale of cotton raised in Dallas county. Monday, about noon, he arrived at the plant of the Murray Gin Company, and had the staple ginned. The cotton was then taken to the Chamber of Commerce building, where it is held on exhibition.\ John Shepard and his brother, Frank, are making a crop on the farm of J. W. Slaughter, north of Dallas. They marketed the first bale of cotton last year and received a handsome premium. They have lived here for many years. The second bale of cotton was received in Dallas later in the afternoon of Monday. It was marketed at the Murray Gin Company by A. Rubles[?] Rublee[?], a farmer residing near Seagoville. (- August 11, 1914, Dallas Daily Times Herald, p. 1, col. 4.) He married (1) Edna Frederick, 9 Aug 1885 in Van Zandt Co., TX, b. in WI. Children: 14 i. Rossa or Ross3 Rublee, b. Aug 1886 in TX.[i] 15 ii. Clarence Sheridan Rublee, b. 5 Sep 1888 in Kaufman, Kaufman, TX,[ii] d. 6 May 1970 in Fullerton, Orange, CA.8 At the time of the 1920 census, Clarence Rublee was in the U. S. Army, stationed in the Phillipines. He was later in the National Guard. He enlisted as a soldier in World War II on 20 Oct 1945 in San Antonio, TX. At that time he was a resident of Bexar Co., TX and married. 16 iii. Grace Belle Rublee, b. 18 Jul 1892 in Kemp, Kaufman, TX.7 Gracy Rublee, age 18, was living with Abbie Boles in Forney, Kaufman Co., TX (ED 26, Sheet 55, Vol. 87) as a nurse-companion at the time of the 1910 census. He married (2) Olive "Mary" (Wills) O'Conner, 1 Jan 1896 in Kaufman Co., TX, b. Mar 1866 in GA,[iii] (daughter of John Wills and Susan J. Stephenson) d. aft 1930 in Dallas, Dallas, TX?. Children: 17 iv. Charles Albert Rublee, Jr., b. 26 Nov 1901 in TX?,[iv] d. 16 Sep 1962,10 buried in Sam Houston Natl. Cem., TX. At the time of the 1930 census, Charley A. Rublee was a member of the USAF, living at Kelley Field in San Antonio, TX. This is almost certainly, then, the Charles Albert Rublee who is buried in the Sam Houston National Cemetery in Texas. He died on 9 Sep 1962 and was a member of the USAF. His wife Bertha is also buried there. She died 5 Oct 1976. Also, does the Charles A. Rublee who was MIA in the Korean War, from Dallas, TX, a part of this family? He died 28 Dec 1950 while missing. There is no Charles Rublee listed with the Charles and Olive Rublee family in the 1920 census. There is a Henry Clay, age 13. Do I have the younger Charles A. Rublee misplaced? "I don't think you were contacting me directly when you asked about Rublee, but I do have an interest. My great aunt, Mary E. Boyd married Charley Rublee. He was in the army (air corps) in San Antonio in the 1920's. Charley was a very interesting character and I understand a close friend of Charles Lindburgh. Are you related to Charley? Regards, David Boyd Plano TX. He married (1) Mary E. Boyd. He married (2) Bertha _____, b. 30 Jan 1900, d. 3 Oct 1976, buried in Sam Houston Natl. Cem., TX. 18 v. William "Ariel" Wrylie Rublee, b. 16 Sep 1902 in TX,10 d. 5 Nov 1975 in Houston, Harris, TX.[v] William Rublee bought 5000 acres of land near Dallas. It turned out that the title was not clear and several others had claim to the land. It is likely that the seller deliberately defrauded him. He never recovered the funds. After this, he returned to Wisconsin where he owned several businesses. He discovered that his daughter, Ada Grunn, to whom he had given power-of-attorney when he went to Texas, had sold all his property, took the money and moved to California. (Linda Milan) These are tentative dates for him. The Rublees were living in Dallas Co., TX at the time of the 1930 census. William may have had another middle name Wrylie. He married Lula Wheat, abt 1924, b. 3 Mar 1903 in TX,[vi] (daughter of Isaac D. Wheat and Lona Patterson Lindsey) d. 4 Aug 1982 in Harris Co., TX.[vii] 19 vi. Adeline Patty Rublee, b. abt 1906 in TX. Adeline (Rublee)(Wills) Lancaster is an artist. In 1998, her grand-niece Lynda Milan described her a very elderly, living in Long Beach, CA. In 1930, Adeline was married to Arthur Lancaster, and living in Dallas TX. She was 25 and he was 44. Also in the home was Evelyn C. Lancaster, age 1 5/12 daughter of Arthur and Doris J. Wills, age 5, stepdaughter. Olive Rublee, Adeline's mother, was also in the home. She married (1) Conner Wills, b. est 1900 in TX?, (son of Robert B. Wills and Frances "Fanny" Rublee).

Good Morning, Cindy, I have been wandering in the TX records and am trying to make some sense of Ariel's descendents there. Also there is Charles D. Roblee, son of E. Percival and Julia Miller. I wonder if this Charles is part of those records? And who all did Charles, son of Ariel marry? There are several conflicting records. Would you let me know what you have sorted out? Hope to hear from you soon. Bob

were you asking me in particular or the group?

Good Morning, Ed, I have come across a marriage record in Maine for Robblee D. Baker and Fluerette Potvin. I think this may be the brother for whom you have been searching. Is there any way for you to check this information? Let me know and hope to hear from you soon. Bob

This is what I have on Jacob Rapalje/Sarah Brinkerhoff, whom some Worldconnect files give as parents of George. This family settled in NJ, so the connection to James Raplee is certainly plausible. And ballpark -- George is around the right age to be the father of James, who was born abt. 1739. Cindy Walcott Generation One 1. Jacob1 Rapalje, b. 25 Jun 1679, (son of Jeronymus Joriszen Rapalje and Annetje Theunis Denys) baptized 25 Jun 1679 in Dutch Reformed Church, New Amsterdam. Source for 2nd wife's name is Allaben (Allaben, 1907, page 398). Jacob left Brooklyn and settled near New Brunswick, New Jersey. Bergen gives the names of both wives, but does not indicate which child was born to which wife (Bergen, 1881, page 233). He married (1) Gertien _____. He married (2) Sarah Brinkerhoff, b. in Flushing, Long Island, NY?, (daughter of Abraham Brinkerhoff and Aeltie Janse Stryker). Children: 2 i. Joris2 Rapalje, b. 20 Jan 1706. 3 ii. Abraham Rapalje, baptized 3 Aug 1707.3 Abraham was of New Jersey (Bergen, 1881, page 233.) 4 iii. Ante Rapalje, baptized 17 Apr 1709.3 5 iv. George Rapalje. George was "of New Jersey" (Bergen, 1881, page 233). 6 v. Aeltie Rapalje. Aeltie was "of New Jersey" (Bergen, 1881, page 232). She married Hendrick Suydam. 7 vi. Sara Rapalje, baptized 30 Apr 1712.3 Sara was "of New Jersey" (Bergen, 1881, page 233). 8 vii. Jacob Rapalje, baptized 27 Jul 1719.3 -----Original Message----- From: roblee-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:roblee-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of Bob Robblee Sent: Monday, December 18, 2006 9:53 PM To: Susan R Wyckoff Cc: Roblee-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ROBLEE] Rapalje Connections. Hello, Susan, We have copies of 2 wills written just prior to 1800. One is that of Thomas Robblee, d 1796 in Nova Scotia. He and his brother, John, had left NY in 1783, bound for Nova Scotia. They settled in Annapolis, NS. and Wallace, Cumberland, NS. We also have a copy of a will written ca 1792 in Lanesboro, MA. by William Robblee. He had remained in the USA and indications are that he fought for the Revolution. His brother? Reuben had settled in Lanesborough as well and we have fairly good information on his descendency. The question has always been about pronunciation of the name as well as the spelling. Most names stabilized after 1850 until the present. A person speaking their name to a census taker but not being able to verify the spelling of that surname has led to many variances over the years. French names spoken to English? ears have, I'm sure led to the 60 or so variant spellings that we have found ancestors' records listed. I believe that many of the Roblyer descendents found in western NY about the turn of the 18th Century are descendents of Andrew Rublier and Abigail Hawkins. And, that they are part of our family. Where James and Abiah fit, may still be found. WorldConnect shows him in your files as the son of George, from NJ. and leading back to the Rapalje's of NY.

Good Morning, Susan, I have been searching for my family's roots for the past 14 years or so.

We deserve it! To all, we wish everyone a happy and safe Christmas. May the New Year, 2007, bring you and yours happiness and good health. God Bless. Mary Ann (Roblee) Bill Yarnell

I am related to Lydia daughter of John Robblee and Susanna Baker. Following is something I have for John: "A native of Long Island New York, John was living at Nine Partners in Dutchess Co. when American Revolutionary War began. He was a farmer with ninety acres plus a 450 acre tract in Dutchess Co. He moved to New York in 1777 and worked as a labourer until he joined Colonel DeLancey in May 1780. After the war he settled at Wallace, Nova Scotia. He received a land grant of 200 acres at River Remsheg, lot number 38, Cumberland Co. in 1785. His name is among those listed on the Loyalist Memorial which was unveiled at Wallace Oct 27 1981." Although I have a William, son of John and Susanna, born about 1776, I have nothing else about him. Can you tell me more about William's sister Lydia? Thx. Just curious....I exchanged information with a Bob Robblee from Alberta in 2001. Are you the same person? Scott.

Good Morning, All, Hunting season has once again concluded suscessfully and now for more hunting among the files. Thanks, Cindy, for the notes and the info about Ancestry. As usual, more info, more questions. Long have I wonderd and searched for the family of my ggggrandfather, William, son of John Robblee and Susanna Baker. I didn't even know his wife's name. After the sale of their farmlands in 1832, all I found was a record for buying a pew in NS in 1834. And I knew there was a depression during this time period. As I searched Ancestry's census records, I came across 3 entries in the 1841 Scotish and English Census. William Robblee, b ca 1798 and his wife, Catherine, and 3 daughters in Aberdeen. In England in 1841, Edmund Robblee, b ca 1811 and his family. Along with William, b 1786? and Sarah, b 1781. Eureka. The 1871 English Census lists a Charles Robblee and family. And now, I see the possiblility that this family is intertwined with those in Rhode Isand. More to figure out. The 1870 US Census has a listing for a Charles Robblee and family in KA and I believe that this is a brother to Franklin Alonzo Robblee. And that listing is also cause to ponder, with a G.G. Robblee, b ca 1826. I would like to wish all our listmembers and their families All the Best for the coming Fesitive Season. May your families celebrate together in joy. HOpe to hear from you soon.
