I believe that that should be >>Thomas, married Laura Robblee. If Thomas, married Chloe Evarts, was the >>brother, then Norman would have been born the year his mother, Phoebe >>Austin, died. Notes are to that effect in Carpenter from Marion Roblee >>Barnard, great grandaughter of Norman. I will also send along notes that >>were acquired from Helen Roblee Barnard of Granville that I got from >>Joyce Atkin. ... > >Doug Detling's added comment: Bob is correct here. The error is >introduced in one of the extracted listings from the so-called "Carpenter >Manuscript, see later messages for this.
