Erica - I am sorry that I did not see your query before this - hope you are still
checking. Actually I have no information about the Robertson reunion in Lafayette and am
hoping that someone else replied to you that does. My husband vaguely remembers them in
the 40s. He is a descendant of James Robertson, brother to your William. I also saw your
query about Mathew Robertson - I tried to make that connection also but couldn't make
it work. I would suggest that you take a look at William and Mary Ann Robertson. The
evidence is only circumstantial BUT all the right names seem to be in the right places at
the right times. William died in 1847-48 in Boone Cty, In and I believe that his widow
moved to Tippecanoe County after 1850. There are court documents in Boone County making
her guardian of their minor children. He was a son of Jesse Robertson and Sally White. I
look forward to hearing from you. Christine Evans
