I >had some moments thought today, trying to view what we know from a >different perspective. So here goes: >Jim [Roblee], > You mentioned that you had proved that Thomas, married Chloe Evarts, >was the youngest son of Reuben from an independent source? If so then I >would suggest that he might be the son of Reuben, married Catherine, >died ca 1770. >Phil [Roblee], > Seeing that we seem to have 2 Calvins; one of for whom we can't >find his father or his family, I wonder, based on the listing of people >in Luther's will, if we should reverse the positions in which we have >put them. That is to say, your ggggrandfather was actually the son of >Theron, while the other Calvin who ended his days in North Creek was the >son of possibly, the Elder Thomas. This would possibly explain why what >seems to be a duplicate of Calvin's family were living with Luther after >Calvin's death ca 1835. >Cindy [Walcott], > I got your comments on the Robblee daughters but I'm not quite >clear on your thoughts. Do you think that the second Sarah Robblee, >married Willam Jeffords is actually the Rebecca, daughter of William >Robblee, married Katurah Baker? >Lynda [McGinnis], > No, I don't know any of the ancestry of Susannah Baker, married >John Robblee. The name is part of the original stuff I first found on >the Ancestral File, which was probably submitted by Joyce Atkin. One >detail that I remember is that she had died prior to 1783. >For all, > I have found census records for 1790 [and I'm sure most of you have >as well] for William Robblee in Lanesboro, Reuben in Granville, NY, >Thomas in Granville, NY, and Andrew in Orange Co. NY. The structure of >these families are very similiar as to content, indicating, I feel, that >the Fathers were of similiar ages. I don't believe that the Thomas >listed is the man who married Chloe Evarts, unless the other male over >16 is a member of another family, staying with Thomas and Cloe. Also, >the structure of the family of Andrew match closely the descendents >whose names are spelled Roblyer, especially when subsequent census are >taken into account. > Just some thoughts for this evening. Hope to hear from you soon. >Bob >
