Cindy posted most of his family and I wonder if there >were any other descendents? > The comment about her finding a new headstone at the gravesite of >Nathaneal Roblee, died 28 Dec 1834 is of great interest, I believe. I >came across a similiar circumstance at the Stoney Beach Cemetary in Nova >Scotia where my daughter and I found a new marker at the grave of John >Harris Robblee. As I mentioned to her at the time, there is a family out >there that cares about this site and sooner or later, we will contact >them. The same will apply here, I'm sure, and hopefully, that person >will have more for us into the past as well as forward to the present. > I noticed that we have had one note from William A. Roblee, whom I >believe you were in touch with when you were on vacation about the first >of this month. I wondered, seeing as we haven't heard further from him, >if he wishes to be "Subscribed" ? Have you been in further contatct with >him? > Dear Cindy [Walcott], > Thanks for the information and will you sent us on Hiram Rublee as >well as the location of the Dutchess Co. Records. I wish I could spend >some time there because I feel some our answers will be discovered >there. > Would you mind posting to my daughter, Deanne, at >[email protected] the program that you are using for attaching and >coding files? She has been attempting to download these for me but she >wonders if her software, [Windows 97 and Corel Office] might be >incompatible with your programming. > That last set of notes I sent you were sent to me from Ralph Roblee >in San Diego, Milo's ggrandson. I believe that they were written prior >to the condensed set many of us had seen in the past. Corrections were >made in what I believe was Milo's handwriting. > Now, I've wondered whom he would have talked to when he went to >visit Granville ca 1895. Not many of the original families were there at >that point. I think he would have spoken to Isaac Roblee, youngest son >of Luther, when he travelled to the North Creek area. Ike would have >been 60-70 years of age at that time. Milo did not seek out and speak >with his Aunt Mary, married Benjamin Saunders, who might have shed >further light on our ancestry. He also mentions contacting a family in >Colorado, cousins of his grandfather, but he had misplaced the notes. A >teaser to lead us on. >Dear Carol [Thomas], > Thanks for the postings of the Johnsburg Census. I await any further >listings, seeing as the Census kept including more family information as >it moved on through the years. >Bob
