Alexander Robertson and Rebecca Roblin

Surnames: Robertson/Roblin
Searching for children of Alexander and Rebecca (Roblin) Robertson. Alexander was a teacher on Big Island and later farmed (Sophiasburg?). He died before 1861.

Owen Robertson was born in 1824 in P.E. Co. Died in 1907 in Hillier at the house of his sister (Augusta Conkey?). Were Alexander and Rebecca his parents? Owen also had a brother Daniel b. ca 1831.

I am also interested in Alexander Robinson. According to Wanamaker there were at least three children - though I suspect there were more.

Augusta m. James Conkey
Daniel (no info)
Agnes married Harmonius Fox

I have more info on Augusta, if you are interested.

I would be interested in additional information about Augusta Conkey. I do have the obituary from the Picton Gazette but little else.

I believe that the name "Robinson" is in error but it certainly appears in several census records. However, Agnes Fox's nee name was Robertson as was Augusta Conkey's.

I agree. Rebecca (the mother) appears as Robertson in both the 1861 and 1871 census.
There is an Alexander O. S. Robertson born abt 1825 in the 1861 census in Sophiasburgh and in 1881 in Belleville who I think might also be a child of Alexander and Rebecca. He is married to Elizabeth Fox, who is related to Agnes Robertson through her marriage to Harmonius. Or is this the Owen you mentioned? It could be Alexander Owen Stillman/Stowell Robertson.

Could you send me a copy of the obits and thier source?

I said (in error) that I had more info on Augusta. It is Agnes for whom I have more info. Are you interested?

Five years have passed but I am again doing research on the Robertson family.

Are you still interested?
