Carol >send me a note of a mortgage held by Thomas and Chloe Robblee, Timothy >and Abigail Johnston, and Jeremiah and Constant Main, dated 12 Oct 1793 >from the Book of Deeds, Vol. F:189. Yours mentions a sale by Thomas >Rablee dated 2 Apr. 1790. Can any other details of these transactions >be found? > I would also appreciate any further details of the 2 sales dated 4 >Nov 1782 by John and Thomas Rubblee. These are the 2 Loyalists, I >believe. Land descriptions and locations would be a big help, I believe. > I am hoping that Cindy's search for the Rapalje Rasters will be >sucessful and that it will be done well enough to eliminate some of the >people we may now be using as clues for our family search. > Many years ago, I remember reading a commentary on the War of >Independence which mentioned that the war had torn families apart and >turned brother against brother and father against son in some cases. >Blood lines can be extremely difficult to track through this time >period, I can see. Hopefully, we can find more solid information. > Do the Military records happen to mention any deaths while in >service? They have new names that I haven't seen before. Also, are >there any details of their times and lengths of service? > Where is what was called Fredericksburg, in your notes, today? >Cannot locate it on my atlas. Please advise me if you know.... > >Bob Robblee >
