Hi Bob -- I emailed Jean Baker last night with all my info, and should have thought to copy the Roblee list on it! Here it is: My paternal grandfather was Roblee Towne, son of Helen Roblee and J. Blaine Towne. This is what I found at Greenridge Cemetery: Hamilton A. Roblee, born 1832 and died 1922, married to Helen C. Martin Hamilton and Helen's children: -- Charles H. Roblee, born 1856 and died 1876 (on his twentieth birthday), no wife -- William T. Roblee, born 1865 and died 1936, married first to Frances King and second to Norma Rugg (children unknown) -- Mary Roblee, born 1870 and unknown date of death, married to F. Sheridan Vaughan (two children that I know of: F. Sheridan Vaughan Jr. and Roblee S. Vaughan) -- Chauncey Roblee, born 1854 and died 1938, married to Mary Gildersleeve (I believe they only had one child -- my great-grandmother Helen R. Roblee, unknown date of birth and I believe she died in 1970 or 1971) Helen married James Blaine Towne and had three children: -- Mary-Elizabeth, who died at 7 days old -- James Hubert, who died a couple years ago (I believe he was born 1925) -- Roblee Warren, later changed to Roblee David -- my grandfather. He was born in 1917 and died in 1980 My grandfather Roblee Towne married Mary Loretta Roohan, and they had six children: -- Marylee -- Stephen -- my dad -- Loretta -- David (middle name Roblee) -- Denise -- Michele My dad, Stephen Towne, married my mom, Susanne Oakley, and they had six children: Katherine (me!) Benjamin (middle name Roblee) Jonathan Molly (interesting to see one of the Reubens was married to a Molly!) Stephanie Elizabeth I married Stephen Sherwin, and we have one son: Thomas Roblee! That's us! And I have a first cousin with the first name Roblee, and a first cousin with the middle name Roblee. I don't know what happened to William Roblee's line. I was so excited to read your email that listed Reuben and Phoebe --> Reuben and Molly --> Thomas and Laura --> Hamilton! I was also excited to hear that you have a letter from Hamilton to Helen in 1908 -- as far as I know, this is the first time any of us has researched our Roblee line, so I doubt any of us knew about that, or anything else about her genealogical work. My dad was about 20 when Helen died, and remembers that she was described as a "handsome" woman who was the organist at our local Baptist church. He also remembers that Helen's father -- Chauncey Roblee -- co-owned a business with Orwell Towne -- James Blaine's father (James Blaine and Helen eventually married)! It was the Towne-Roblee Hardware Company or the Roblee-Towne, I don't remember which (and I can't find the poster at the moment). It was on Broadway in Saratoga Springs. I know genealogy searches aren't always so easy (I've been researching my other lines as well), so I am very grateful that this one has been so productive so quickly! I would love to receive the files via email from Cindy Walcott. My family will be very excited to hear about all of this! Thanks again Bob.
