As to my database, it includes most of the work of the folks that >we are now in contact with and as many others that I have contacted over >the years. I have no complaint as to identifying verified material and >that which is speculative. I have as yet to find any Rapalje connection >and I know that speculation has been around for about 100 years. > My best sources of information have been the people whom I have >contacted whom are interested or active, present or past. I believe I >have done so and found most of the old genealogical works as well. I >will get you the notes of Milo R. Roblee and the Carpenter Manuscript. I >also think we need to see all the pertinent DAR files. > My work on the family of John Robblee, married Susannah Baker? >includes his sons William and Joseph. Joyce Atkin of Chico CA. did a lot >of the work back to his son Thomas, married Hannah Delap. Proofs include >marriage licences, gravesites and wills. > Speculation occurs over my placement the Rublier children >christened in Huntington, NY. I can only verify that John and Thomas >were brothers according to Thomas' will of 1796. After that, I think we >need the church records or the land titles for the Putnam and Dutchess, >NY Co.s. if any thing like that still exists. > At the moment, I have not verified the Robbilliard connection. >Many clues, but no primary record found as yet. One thought crosses my >mind, however, that both Rapalje and Robbilliard families were French >Hugenots. > Doug, I will correct my records on Louisa Francelia Roblee and >move >the Detling marriage to its correct generation. > One last thought, I'm curious to see how much scrutiny the >Carpenter manuscript will bear given concerning Ruben's family. >Apparently, a family bible was held by a Jessie Roblee Willson about 50 >years ago. Perhaps, if someone knows where that might be, we could clear >up the Ruben/Thomas families in Granville, Wa. Co. NY. Both were there >according to the 1790 Census and I doubt that the family listed to >Thomas was that of Thomas and Chloe. > Keep me posted >Bob Robblee >
