Good Morning, All, I will attempt to answer some of the questions posed over the last couple of days with what I have found in my files. Cindy, I found George Roblee, b ca 1790, in the 1870 Census at Estell, Kentucky, under a variant spelling in Ancestry's files when they were open in Jan. He is a stray and I believe that Ray Robley's family were in Kentucky as well. Also, for those who wish to access Ancestry's files, without the cost of a subscription, and the hassle of shutting down a free trial, visit a Family History Library. Cousin Joyce Atkin mentioned that to me in converstaion the other day. I believe that the Carpenter Genealogy was written by George Weyland Carpemter, b 6 Jan 1901. He was a missionary to the Congo and researched his family when back in the States. He was the son of Daniel W. Carpenter and Mary Edith Carr. Mary was the dau of John Henry Carr and Cynthia Adelia Roblee. Cynthia was the daughter of Norman Roblee and Adelia Soule. Lee, we need to know your grandfather, Carpenter's, name in order to possibly tie you to the Steuben Co. Carpenters. Gloria, we have a large portion of the Robblee families that originated in Granville, NY. established. Do you have a genealogy program which will allow us to send you a gedcom? As to Morehouse, we have a Nellie Jane Roblee, dau of Hamilton, son of Elisha Roblee, married James Morehouse and had 3? sons. I have had correspondce with gdaughter? Phyllis. My personal search in genealogy has been to find the immigrant ancestor and all the descendents. The farther back in time I search, the less information is available to track individuals. But, it also amazes me that the present is so poorly known. I would like to know which Roblee family Rosalie belongs, Gloria? Can you provide me with an address or phone number? I want to know her father's and grandfather's names and if I have them, our files will generally find them their place in the family tree. I have one more comment about human behavior which I am quite sure has remained constant throughout the years. Improvements in living standards and technology have not changed them one iota. In the 1906 Census for Assinaboine, SK. Canada, I find my grandfather and his father homesteading. Alexander sold his share to Albert about this time. And Alexander is listed with a spouse? of whom we never knew. And to whom he was never married. His wife, Albert's mother was back on PEI. An affair, and the details of that were never spoken to the children, who never knew. My ggrandfather on the Robinson side father 2 children with 2 Mothers prior to being married twice and fathering about a dozen more. My grandmother never mentioned his past and his obituary found him to be an upright member of the community. We hide from these past events at our peril, because they often reappear, challenging our fondest beliefs. HOpe to hear from you soon. Bob
Bob, My Grandfather is Fredrick Merle Carpenter born Oct 2, 1912 in Rock Island/Mercer County Illinois. He went by Merle because of his dad, but as best I can tell he is not a junior so his dad's name is Fredrick ? Carpenter. His wife was Lous Marston Carpenter Born 1889? Died 1980, she is bured in Edgington Cemetary, Edgington, Illinois. He went back to Ohio to live near relatives from what I have heard. There was documents that traced history back so that my grandfather's sisters could join the Daughters of the American Revolution. I think my dad may have copies of those right now. My dad's cousin Carol Apacki lives in Ohio, and so did my grandfather's brother Charles Carpenter, I will check because I suspect they moved to Ohio so Charles could be near his dad. Thank you for asking Bob.
