from Charles Clarke

from Charles Clarke aceventur5@earthlink.net   Hi, I contacted you in March.  Since then I have done more fact-checking and finally put it all in a useable format.   

There follows an extensive file on the ROBERTSON family which came to St. Joseph County in 1836. (Not the retailing Robertson brothers.) The volume of data resulted from previous generations keeping good records. Data sources are cited like footnotes except they apear at the end (Endnotes).

Copies of unpublished source material are available on request, as is a condensed though less complete version of this data. I can discuss the sources, etc. via e-mail or in person (I live in South Bend). For health reasons, please do not telephone.
