Good Morning, Kate, Pleased to meet you and welcome to the Roblee list. We have Hamilton, son of Thomas and Laura, son of Reuben and Molly, son of Reuben and Phoebe, in our files. Before that things are guesswork for the ancestry. I am retyping my files after a complete overhaul on this computer. Cindy Walcott, one of our listmembers, will be able to send the files via email. I would be very curious about any additional Roblees in the Greenridge Cem. And would you update me about your family details? I have just your grandfather's name but nothing else about the rest of your family. Helen Roblee [Towne] was interested in genealogy and we have a copy of a letter Hamilton sent her, about 1908, after checking cemetary stones in North Creek. Do you have her work? Must run, but HOpe to hear from you soon. Regards, Bob Robblee
