As usual, more info, more questions. > Long have I wonderd and searched for the family of my ggggrandfather, William, son of John Robblee and Susanna Baker. I didn't even know his wife's name. After the sale of their farmlands in 1832, all I found was a record for buying a pew in NS in 1834. And I knew there was a depression during this time period. > As I searched Ancestry's census records, I came across 3 entries in the 1841 Scotish and English Census. William Robblee, b ca 1798 and his wife, Catherine, and 3 daughters in Aberdeen. >In England in 1841, Edmund Robblee, b ca 1811 and his family. Along with William, b 1786? and Sarah, b 1781.

More to figure out. > The 1870 US Census has a listing for a Charles Robblee and family in KA and I believe that this is a brother to Franklin Alonzo Robblee. And that listing is also cause to ponder, with a G.G. Robblee, b ca 1826. > I would like to wish all our listmembers and their families All the Best for the coming Fesitive Season.

I am related to Lydia daughter of John Robblee and Susanna Baker. Following is something I have for John: "A native of Long Island New York, John was living at Nine Partners in Dutchess Co. when American Revolutionary War began. He was a farmer with ninety acres plus a 450 acre tract in Dutchess Co. He moved to New York in 1777 and worked as a labourer until he joined Colonel DeLancey in May 1780. After the war he settled at Wallace, Nova Scotia. He received a land grant of 200 acres at River Remsheg, lot number 38, Cumberland Co. in 1785. His name is among those listed on the Loyalist Memorial which was unveiled at Wallace Oct 27 1981." Although I have a William, son of John and Susanna, born about 1776, I have nothing else about him. Can you tell me more about William's sister Lydia? Thx. Just curious....I exchanged information with a Bob Robblee from Alberta in 2001. Are you the same person? Scott.
