Mary died abt. 1825. Barbara was Roberts sister and Rebecca was her daughter. I have no husband for Barbara, but she may have been married to a cousin or unmarried, hence the surname of her daughter Rebecca. <<< 2. What was the maiden name of Nancy (???), Robert's wife? Who are her parents? It would appear that Robert and Nancy married before 1835, but where?>>> Nancy was Nancy Lilly. They wew both still alive on the 1870 census, and their first child was Serena, born in 1831. I don't know more than that about their marriage. Dreama
