Catherine Dart, who is a Robie, has a son and grandson (Benjamin Robie Broyles) (Clint Robie Broyles) coming to visit this summer, to MA from CA. Her grandfather did an amazing amount of work on the Robie family, pre-internet.He didn't have the book
mentioned in the citation following. He had photos of the town in England where Robies came from, Castle Donington.

The Stearns' HISTORY OF PLYMOUTH, NH, tells of the "silver fitted sword and silver headed cane" given in the early 1700's from Icahabod Robie to his son John. "With his wife, his sword, and his cane he removed to Chester. The sword was at Bennington, in the hand of Stephen Dearborn, who married his daughter." p. 570
