    2. Hi All, I found the information that Mary "Polly" Robblee married Benjamin Jakway on a message board at Ancestry.com. When I checked my files at home, I found them entered but not connected. I went back to the source at Genealogy.com and found their marriage date and place. The information had to have come from a family source if there is nothing in public records. I'm glad to hear that the Wash. Co. Records have been searched completely. But I have a question. In looking at the GenWeb site the other day and reading part of the history of the County, I see that in its initial formation, it covered a much larger area than it does now. Including a portion that was in VT. I wonder if all the records are in the same place. Ralph W.Roblee, of San Diego, sent to me, several years ago, copies of records from Wash. Co. cemetaries that were recorded by Mr. Goodspeed about the turn of the last century. I believe, if memory serves, that these are held by the archives in Bennington, Vt. I wish there had been time to check when we were at the last reunion. Here is another note I found at Rootsweb. Simon Montague, b 9 Oct 1803, N. Leverett, Ma. married first Sybil Leland, b 19 May 1807 on 15 Oct 1826 at N. Leverett, Ma. He married second, Phebe Ann Rabblee, b 8 May 1813, Granville, NY. on 21 Jul 1852. They had 2 children, Simon Calvin Montague, b 11 Sep 1853, Burke, NY. and Cora Minerva Montague, b 4 Nov 1854, Burke, NY. I note the son's second name and would speculate she had been married previously as well. However, there is no record listed of other children from a previous marriage. There are other strays that I have not been able to connect as yet from this area. Several Chloes just to mention one group. The economy at that time was in depression. People were moving out of the Granville area to parts west. We only find bits of information to connect the family back to that area. Hopefully more will come to light in time. HOpe to hear from you soon. Bob
