There are 10 survivors mentioned yet the >split on the 200 acres mentioned is 33 acres for Isaac, Mary and >Luther. You list 6 people as his children; Mary, Eliza, Isaac, >Betsey, Luther and Roxy Deliah. But when the will was read, Chloe, >Orlando, Charles and Melvina are also mentioned. > Phil has listed a Calvin Roblee, died 1835, son Orlando, son >Charles,son Lyle as his lineage. I wonder if Luther had them at his >place if they had been left destitute by Calvin's death. > Could you post us a copy of Luther's will? Perhaps the wordings >may help us shed some light on this matter. > Also, you mentioned that there may be other Roblee's living in your >area whom are not sure of their heritage. Would it be possible to >contact them and ask their knowledge of their ties? Hopefully, most of >them would know their grandparents. I have many cases where I'm sure >families are continued but don't have the info. I sent a package to a >Theron Roblee in Johnsville? but it was returned to sender. Also, I know >of people from New Brunswick that migrated to the US about the turn of >this century that I have yet to locate. >Dear Lynda, > In answer to a thought you had on the anglicized names we are >finding tied to the names we have found ca 1700-50.
