Hello Fellow Rooters I am sorta new to this list - been subbed for a while but have not posted query yet I am searching for a ROBERTSON {or varient spelling}, family who were probably in Buckingham in the early 1800s. My only known child is Samuel born about 1810. I have looked high and low, sideways, byways, inbetween, no family connections yet found. I realize there are many of this name, especially in Cumberland County, but again no connection. Samuel ROBERTSON married Sarah "Sallie" KIDD of Fluvanna County (just across the river!) in 1853. Since Samuel was a generation older than Sallie, I have always wondered if Samuel may have had a prior marriage and family, , but have found no indication. He is single in 1850. Their sons were named Thomas, Samuel, and James - Thomas is Sallie's father, Samuel is for himself, thus James stands out as presenting a possibility for the ancestor's name. Again, there are several with this name. I have extracted all extant birth and death records and marriages from Buckingham trying to put together families, but .... Does anyone out there have ROBERTSON family with son/brother/uncle/nephew Samuel born ca 1810? TIA Alice in Fluvanna
