Dear All, Thanks to Lynda for finding this old record to add new information to our continuing search. I don't believe it helps as to establishing any family relationships but it does record Reuben's birth place as Long Island, and it does establish, I believe, that he was there, in Dutchess Co. with his parents and family. At 20, he could be spared from daily living to soldier in the French-Indian Wars of the times. Long have I looked at the list of baptisms from the Huntington First Church, trying to establish families. It should also be added that Andrew remarried Abigail Hawkins on 30 Jul 1733 and papers Joyce looked into showed him at that time a widower. Thomas and John were brothers as stated in Thomas' will. Abigail, baprtized 13 Apr 1729, was the daughter of William and Abigail. I believe I have deduced Thomas's birth date as 4 May 1735 from what is written on his gravestone. This indicates an infant baptism. Does or did the Congregational Church do infant baptisms? This would help narrow the window of birth dates and I realize that it would only be an approximation. Assuming infant baptisms, I doubt Thomas and Andrew were brothers, based on what I term the 2 year spacing of kids in families. [Baby is born, and will nurse up to a year. Father doesn't get much chance to interact with Mother during this time.] The same applies to the possible spacing between Reuben and John. There is also the errant Thomas Robblee, born 1740, died 1808, who might have been part of the Andrew-Reuben family. William could have been part of either family. Hannah, I believe would have been sister to Andrew and Reuben. If we look at the last land sale in the Huntington area just prior to 1740, this might establish which family was still there and John's baptism might indicate to which family he belongs. Although William and Reuben ended up at Lanesborough, they went separate ways after that; which indicates that whatever their relationship, they were not that close at that point in their lives. I see that the grave of Thomas Roblee, Jr. d. 1842 and buried in the Hartford Cem. has been listed again. Oh where, oh where is Dad and how does he fit into this puzzle? All 4 men associated with Dutchess Co. adopted and passed on the double b spelling of Robblee. [William, Thomas, Reuben and John.] Andrew's descendents, I believe, continue the Roblyer spelling. Time will hopefully lead to information on the women and their offspring. Hope this adds to the thoughts for a Sunday PM and HOpe to hear from you soon. Bob
