This would probably be the same man >you mentioned at this location in 1849. The marriage date I have, 25 Feb >1810 appears to be about 10 years in error and birth of the kids starts >about 1821. > Joyce Atkin sent me some notes written by a Helen Roblee Barnard >of Granville with information taken from a Family Bible owned by Jessie >Roblee Willson of Hughsonville, NY. It lists Reuben, married Phebe{died >1 Nov 1815 in her 77th year, which sounds like a gravestone inscription >to me.] Then there is a listing of a family whose youngest is Norman, >born 21 Jan 1815, married Harriet Adelia Soule. This can't be Reuben and >Phoebe's family because she was 76, too old to be his mother. This has >to be the family of Reuben and Mary? and Reuben died fairly young >because there is a reference to Norman being raised by his brother, >Thomas, married Laura Roblee, daughter of Thomas and Chloe [Everts] >Robblee. > In this family listing Norman is an older brother, Reuben, who is >slightly older than Thomas, married Laura. It is he that I have listed >as marrying Polly Spicer, and the family information ends there. As >usual, I keep hoping that some present person has a family tree leading >back to one of this family. > One other thing of note is that one of the witnesses to the will of >Thomas Robblee, married Cloe Everts, was one Numon Spicer who was living >in Granville when they probated the will. Is it possible that he might >be part of Polly's family? At least we know that the Spicer name was in >the same area. > That's about all I can think of for now. Hope to hear from you >soon. >Bob >
