What a treasure trove!! I feel very stupid that I never once looked for newspaper
clippings on the reunions. Thank you so much for sending them. Obviously these are the
same reunions my husband and his family were involved with. I know you said that
Permelia's descendants attended these - since I could identify may of these families I
could not seem to identify any that might have been hers. I do have a copy of the death
certificate that stated that James Robertson's father was Mathew. I did try to make
that work for a very long time. That was the only "clue" I had that
mentioned Mathew - all the other data seemed to point to the family in Boone County -
court records, military pension records etc. and everything seemed to fall into place once
I started looking at William Robertson son of Jesse Robertson as the father of William and
James. Here is the family of William Robertson and Mary Jane Fairfield as I have it:
Lucy born about 1851 married William Stoler; Isabella (1852-1928)M. Francis Langlois, then
Henry Budge; Julia born about 1856 Married F. Raub, William born about 1858 married Edith
Morley; Mary Elizabeth(1860-1869), Dora(1863-1875); Ella(1866-1950) m. Sanford Gay;
Frank(1870-1933)m. Cora; Bertha(1874-1874); Grace E. unknown; Jessie May(1871-1877)
