ROBBINS Mon Jul 14 08:47:14 1997
Professional researcher wanted: From records left by a family researcher now deceased, "In NY 1790 census JOSEPH ROBBINS is shown in Halfmoon, Albany County, with 2 girls and a son, JOSEPH FRANKLIN ROBBINS. Shows JOSEPH ROBBINS b. abt 1764" Note: I have found a JOSEPH ROBBINS, b. Jun 1764 in Carver, Plymouth, MA (no parents listed) in LDS files. Another LDS listing shows JOSEPH ROBBINS, b. 26 Jun 1764 in Middleboro, Plymouth, MA w/relative JOSEPH ROBBINS. n the 1800 census, JOSEPH ROBBINS is shown in Bloomfield, Ontario County, NY with 6 children, 4 girls and 2 boys. Thus, 3 children were born in either Albany or Ontario counties between 1790 and 1800. In neither census do we know the names of any of the children other than JOSEPH FRANKLIN ROBBINS, who was born in 1790. Presuming that JOSEPH FRANKLIN owned land in Albany County, are there searchable records of land transactions that might show when he moved and his wife's name. I realize that you do not offer research, but if you could pass this letter on to a professional researcher that might be of service to me, it would be sincerely appreciated. The researcher could write me advising what could be done to find out more about this family and the costs of such research.

ROGERS Thu, 17 Apr 1997 18:15:18 -0700
I'm trying to find out about my mother's father and his people. Her parents were Daniel Raymond Rogers and Mildred Virginia Rogers. Daniel's parents were Marguerite W. Taylor b. 12/15/1890 Georgia and Daniel J. Rogers. Very little is known about the Rogers side of the family because Marguerite and D.J. divorced and I don't think their was much contact afterwards. This is what I know: Daniel Raymond was born in Texas in 1910. Marguerite and Daniel J. met during his stay at a Military Academy in or around San Antonio? His parents were very unhappy about the marriage. They had three children and divorced. She was from Georgia, but I have yet to find anything on her either. I have many old pictures and there are little hints on the back. One of the pictures is very old, it is of a man shoveling snow, in the back ground is a man on a horse drawn carriage loaded with old fashioned milk jugs on the side of the carriage is "A.O. Hatt or Hale?" on the back of the picture is "My grandfather Daniel Albert Rogers in Eastwood, N.Y." My mother and aunt remember their father telling them his fathers people were from Upstate N.Y. and they think they remember hearing Albany somewhere along the line. Their father told them he came from 9 generations of military men. Daniel J. Rogers died between 1940 and 1955. I've had a very difficult time in finding anything on this side of the family. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I don't find an Eastwood in the Atlas. Do you know where it is/was?
