Thanks, Judy! I searched for Rublee and turned up a very interesting article on the Alvah Rublee family. It is entitled: Childhood home of horace rublee in the early days of Sheboygan County and includes pictures of Horace, and his mother Martha (Kent) (Rublee) Farrow. I am copying the Roblee list, as I know that at least Bergetta will be interested in the Rublee article.

Connie -- I have always loved your odds and ends! I found this on Google, which is interesting: http://www.carthage.lib.il.us/community/churches/primbap/GuestbookNY-OH.html Mon Sep 20 18:58:08 2004 Name: Jerry Turner Email: jetsue@sympatico.ca Comments: Thank you. I was looking for verification that Robblen (Roblin) ancestors were members of the Warwick Baptist church of Orange county prior to the American revolution before they came to Canada. Sat Dec 11 17:03:24 2004 Name: Linda Herman Email: hermanjl@comcast.net Comments: I am researching the Roblin family. They came from Pembrokeshire, Wales prior to 1723. Owen Roblin is listed in the church records of St. David's Church of Radnor, Delaware Co., N.Y. I am trying to find out more about him and his family. He left Radnor by 1730. We know that the family was in New York City sometime after 1730 and prior to 1775. We have an Owen (likely a son or grandson of our PA Owen) and a Philip Roblin both claiming to be born in America (probably around 1740-50). I am trying to locate the records of the First Primitive Baptist Church of New York City, which was formed in 1762. We also have a record of Abraham Roblin, b.c. 1764 who was living on Laight Street in New York City in 1810....he died in 1819. His wife Catherine b. 1764 and son Edward b. 1809 both died in New York in 1855. There was also a daughter Jane Roblin who married a Vaughn. Any assistance would be much appreciated. Linda Herman http://cybrary.uwinnipeg.ca/people/dobson/manitobiana/issues/001.cfm Philip Roblin (Sr.), founder of Roblin's Mills (or Green Point), Sophiasburgh, b. say 1745, d. 1788. He was in Orange Co., New York, at the birth of his son Philip about 1771, and the name of Philip Roblin appears in a list somewhat vaguely described as comprising "the individuals who held a town office of some kind ... from 1765 to 1775 ... in Cornwall, Bloominggrove and Monroe," printed in Eager's Outline History of Orange County (1847).[52] The three towns referred to lie in the south-east part of the county, and Cornwall was the home of his father-in-law. The names of Philip Roblin and his presumed brother Owen Roblin appear side-by-side in an undated but contemporary list of refugees "bound for Nova Scotia," his family consisting (besides himself) of one woman and four children.[53] Next, the names of Philip and Owen Roblin appear close together in an undated list, presumed to be from 1784, of Loyalists in "Quebec" (which then included present-day Ontario), Philip being called a carpenter, and his family consisting of one man (himself), one woman, one male child over 12, 2 males 6-12, and 2 females under 6 years (another daughter having evidently been born since the family's arrival in Nova Scotia).[54] His Loyalist petition, presented at Montreal in 1788 (the year of his death), reads, in part: Claimant says he was at Sorell [in Quebec] in the Fall [of] 1783. Is a native of America. Resided in Orange Co. [N.Y.].... Now lives at Bay of Quinty. Had 15 acres of land... and a grist mill and saw mill in Smith's Cove [recte Clove, in Monroe Township], Orange Co. They came to his wife on the death of her father, Garret Miller, left by will....[55] He m. before 1772, Elizabeth Miller, b. say 1750, d. 18-, and buried in the old Canniff family burying ground, at Cannifton, Ontario, having married secondly, John Canniff (d. 1843), the founder of Cannifton, who was a great-uncle of William Canniff, the well-known historian.[56] A Methodist missionary, visiting the widowed Elizabeth's household in 1791, noted that "the house was larger than ordinary, having two log houses joined together."[57] Some have claimed this woman as a sister of the Garret Miller who came to Sorel, Quebec, in 1783 and made a Loyalist petition that year.[58] However, there is evidence that this man was son of an Adam (not Garret) Miller, which would necessarily preclude his being her brother.[59] While Elizabeth and this Garret may well have been kindred of some sort, the closeness of any relationship which existed between them appears to have become exaggerated in family legend due to Garret's connection with the prestigious Embury family. -----Original Message----- From: THELEN4401@aol.com [mailto:THELEN4401@aol.com] Sent: Monday, May 02, 2005 8:35 AM To: ROBLEE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Curiosity again-odds and ends A couple of questions for you who know the Roblee[or whatever spellin] line.

From this week's NEHGS news. Celebrate Patriotism with Free Online Access to Massachusetts Vital Records to 1850 In recognition of Patriots' Day this week, the New England Historic Genealogical Society is offering free online access to the Massachusetts Vital Records to 1850 (MVR) database for three days - beginning immediately and continuing until Saturday at noon. If you are not yet a member, but want to spend some time researching your pre-1850 roots, this is a unique opportunity. Patriots' Day commemorates the battles of Lexington and Concord which took place on April 19, 1775. A state holiday in Massachusetts, Maine, and Wisconsin, Patriots' Day is also known for the running of the Boston Marathon. NEHGS would like to invite patriotic genealogists (and loyalists too, for that matter) everywhere to use this special database to rediscover another piece of their Yankee heritage. To participate, click here http://www.newenglandancestors.org/research/Database/Patriots-Day_Launch.asp to go to our launch page, where we will offer you more information and ask you to fill out a short online survey. From there, you will click through to the MVR database where you may search to your heart's content. We invite you to forward this offer to a friend.

Hi Phil -- Thanks for letting us know. Another WWII Vet gone from us. I wonder if any of his children are interested in his genealogical materials.
