Hi,
I have a Lawrence "Curtis" Roubinnault. Lawrence was with the circus.
He didn't get along with his step-mothers, so he took off and joined the
circus and changed his name to Curtis. Researching Roubinnault for many,
many years, I finally found him in the 1880 Census in Ashland Co., Ohio.
Lawrence Curtis named came from his grandmother's maiden name Curtis. So
actually it is the Curtis family and I think they lived around Dayton, Ohio
area. William Roubinnault lived in Peru, IN most of grown up years. I don't
have too much on this family, but I will be glad to share what I have.
