From the Warren Journal, Belvidere, New Jersey dated September 9, 1854 (Saturday, Volume XXI New Series Vol. 2, No. 4): BEGIN DIED On the 30th ult. At the residence of her son-in-law, John H. Fleming, Esq., in Independence Township, Ann Raub aged 93 years, 1 month and twelve days, relict of Michael Raub, deceased. The deceased, notwithstanding her unusual longevity, seemed to retain her faculties, with a remarkable degree of brilliancy to the last, with the exception of her eye sight, of which she was deprived for the last nine months of her life. She delighted in conversing on topics connected with the American Revolution, with which war she was fully conversant, and in which her husband was an actor. The years of her widowhood were about 17; and during that time, many were her longings that it might be her Heavenly Father's will to take her to Himself; for, when her companion was taken, earth had no longer any attractions for her. But, notwithstanding she was bereft of a companion, she was not left comfortless. Her affectionate daughter, Mrs. Fleming, was peculiarly her comfort and consolation in her old age. Mrs. Fleming welcomed her mother to her own home; and there, by night and day, with daughter-like devotion for 13 years, she ministered to that mother's happiness bathing with tenderness her fevered brow, in sickness, wiping away with gentle hand, her tears of sorrow, and finally, smoothing the pillow on which she breathed her last. The deceased was for 50 years a member of the Presbyterian Church, and died in the full hope of a glorious immortality. "Her mind was tranquil and serene; No terrors in her looks were seen; Her Savior's smile dispelled the gloom, And smoothed her passage to the tomb."

END From http://www.raub-and-more.com ... BEGIN Original RAUB Genealogy Prepared by William MacKellar Kern, 1934 Comments in parentheses have been added by Jan Reuther; comments in brackets were by Kern. PHILIP RAUB Several years ago, Mr. J. B. Stevens gave the writer the following information on the early Raubs. PHILLIP RAUB came from Germany via Rotterdam, arriving at Philadelphia on September 25, 1732. He was born in 1681, and brought with him at least three sons. He settled first in Bucks Co., PA, and later moved to Raubsville, Northhampton Co., PA. The names is often spelled Roup, or Rope. Mrs. Elizabeth Mott of Vails, [sic] NJ, believes the proper original spelling was Raup. The three sons were: HANS GEORGE Born 1705 Wife may have been Katherina MICHAEL Born 1710 PETER Born 1716 HANS GEORGE RAUB #1785 He appears to have lived at Raubsville, PA. There are some deeds or a will on record, from which we get the names of six children and the inference that his wife was Katherina. His death was about 1780. The children are as follows. ANDREW Born about 1730 Died in 1809 Married Maria Scharlotta He will be mentioned later. LEONARD whose wife was Christina. GEORGE W. whose wife may be Catherine. He is said to have died in 1814. No children. He may be the one who is mentioned in the Easton Records in 1771. BARBARA who married Val Beidleman. They were in Warren Co., New Jersey, probably near Andrew Raub. DOROTHEA who married William Nyce. They are mentioned as being in Gallen Township Northampton Co., PA, but there are deeds on record to show that they bought a farm at Hainesburg, NJ, in 1770, and sold all or part of it in 1779. MARGARETHA born about 1750, died before 1796. Married William Henry Hains. (also spelled Haynes) He is called "Henry Hantz" in the will. They were prominent settlers in Hainesburg, NJ, and lived on the farm lately owned by William C. Ward. The lived in a house that was situated halfway between the road and the Paulins Kill, now entirely removed. He operated a sawmill and grist mill below the dam, also had a tavern. Mrs. Haynes is spoken of as bringing up two daughters of her sister. One of the girls was Dorothea. Mrs. Haynes had no children. After the death of Mr. Haynes, which was in 1793, Mrs. Haynes appears to have married Christopher Sharp, a widower. This we gather from deeds, but wish the marriage could be corroborated by the family. Mr. Haynes was born in 1747 and died in 1793, and has a tombstone in Knowlton Cemetery. All the Raub family attended the Knowlton Presybterian Church. It appears that some 7 or 8 brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law settled along the Paulins Kill. We are able to mention the names--Mr. Haynes, David Kern, George Kern, Henry Kern, John Person, John Fox, William Nyce, Andrew Raub, and perhaps Val Beidleman. ANDREW RAUB #1885 Andrew Raub would be born about 1730. He made a will in 1806 which was probated 5/25 1809. He is mentioned in Knowlton Cemetery as one of the oldest settlers. From such deeds as we have seen, Samuel Green and Henry Kitchen seem to have owned the land halfway between Walnut Valley and Jacksonville. Some of it passed into the hands of John Smith, and Adam Schneider, and was sold to Andrew Raub, in 1774. This plot was 30 acres and lay north of the Kill, and possibly north of the road. Andrew seems to have made several purchases and his main purchase was south of the Kill, where he is mentioned in 1796. His neighbor then was William Dills on the west and Coonrod Deiter on the East. The Snovers seem to have also been on his east. John Honeywell was on the south in the early days. Before his death he divided his farms up between his sons, and in several cases the property has remained in the family. We note from these dates that Andrew was settled some 13 years before Mr. Haynes came to Hanesburg, and nearly 15 years before the Kerns made a purchase. His wife was Maria Scharlotta....and she is mentioned as his wife in the Knowlton Church Records. Her dates, however, are in the Cemetery, 2/13 1735 to 11/19 1791. The children are given as quoted by Mr. J. B. Stevens, but corrected by searches of W. M. Kern as found necessary. (CATHARINE) SARAH Married a Mr. Hartsel (Henry Hartzell) BARBARA Born 10/15/1757 Died 12/3 1820 [There seems to be confusion over the dates of Barbara and Cecilia, and we give them as we have them]. She married Mr. (Henry) Shoemaker, and it was after Jan 1806 that she married a second time, to Thomas West. His dates were 1760 - 3/12/1815. CECILIA Born 4/4/1757 Died 5/29/1828. Buried in Knowlton. Married Peter Freese He had part of the old Raub farm MICHAEL Born (1754) Died Spring of 1833. Buried in Knowlton. Married Anna Kuhl [later called Cool] daughter of William who had a large farm near. He will be mentioned later. ANDREW Born 1766 Died 1826 Married Susannah Nyce He was a Captain. Had part of his father's farm. JACOB Born 1/29 1768. Died 3/9 1832. Buried in Knowlton. Married Catharine Vought whose dates are 9/23/1778 to 4/11/1867. Jacob had part of his father's farm. He had some 5 children that we know of: John 1/8/1799 - 9/2/1866 married Elizabeth Swayze Andrew 6/29/1797 - 1798 Philip 4/19/1801 - 5/29/1850 married Sabra Angle, daughter of John Elizabeth 8/12/1803 Married Jacob L. Teel Charlotte Married Mr. Dennis Rice CHARLOTTE Married a Mr. Wise (Jacob Weis) (MARIA) ELIZABETH Born Married a Mr. Pullis. [Some writers think this name, which is difficult to read, was Bellis] (Note from Jan Reuther: They Baptized their children in Knowlton ... their name was Bellis, also spelled Belles) SUSANNAH Born 11/25/1773 Married Paul Kuhl (also spelled Cool) MARGARET Born Died Married Robert Martin, on 7/15/1809 She is reported as the youngest of the family, and sometimes called Mary. MICHAEL RAUB #19850 Michael Raub is estimated to be born in 1759, and he died in 1833. We do not find a tombstone, and he left no will. He married Anna Kuhl, daughter of William Kuhl, who had a large farm toward Hainseburg. Michael Raub's farm was north of the Paulins Kill, and seems to be some of his father's, and some that he purchased in 1793 from Adam Schneider. About 1 1/2 miles west of Blairstown, next to John P. Lanterman's farm, and his farm descended to Erastus Raub, his Grandson. Michael was a member of the Knowlton Presbyterian Church, and his children were Baptized there. His children were: ANDREW Born 3/29/1783 Died 2/21/1860. Interred in Knowlton. Married Catharine Butts, daughter of Jacob. Son Jacob B. (Butts) 1815-1868 married Rachel D. Lanterman. Other children reported, but names not known. MARIA Born 1/24/1785 WILLIAM Born Died Married Elizabeth Shackleton, Daughter of Benjamin. Reported married 12/5/1811.

Both are buried in Cedar Ridge Cemetery. He had the farm of his father, and is remembered by our grandparents. My father tells me that Michael had a favorite cussword which was "By the Great Catofaro". Good Luck to his memory! His children are from records held by Mrs. Mott.

(Note by Jan Reuther: Marshall Lake shows Isaac's death 24 Jun 1882-kicked by horse) CATHARINE Born 12/12/1843 Died 9/22/1926 Married William C. Brands 1835-1922 A daughter Mary married Nelson P.

PETER FREESE AND CECILIA RAUB #19853 Peter Freese was the son of John Freese and Catharine ----- and born 3/9/1763, died 8/4/1840. Cecilia Raub was the daughter of Andrew Raub and Maria Scharlotta (Weber), born 4/4 1757, died 5/29/1828. Both buried in Knowlton Presb. Churchyard. Peter Freese is mentioned as having a wife Rachael in the year 1800, but we believe this was just another mistake of the early lawyers who were unfamiliar with the German tongue. The children have been slowly located, and are as follows: PETER Born 10/4/1785 Died 4/26/1814 ANDREW Born 12/15/1788 Married Susan Schaeffer Had children Elizabeth, Catharine, Frederick, Huldah and Sarah CATHARINE Married Isaac S.

JOHN RAUB #20xx Miss Mary Elizabeth Raub gives me the information of this family. John Raub was son of Jacob Raub and Catharine Vought. He was born 1/8/1799. Died 9/2/1866. Buried in Knowlton Cemetery. He married Elizabeth Swayse, daughter of ----- -----. She was born 12/20/1806. Died 2/13/1865. The marriage date is 3/4/1826.

She was daughter of John Angle and Hannah Barnes, Born 8/17/1803 and died 3/4/1870. Mr. William H. Kern used to tell the writer that he worked for Mr. Raub when he was a young man, and was also distantly related by marriage to Mrs. Raub. But that does not give us the information we wish we had. Mr. Raub was administrator for his father in March 1832. His farm (parts of his father's) was partitioned in 1860 and the following children were named: CATHARINE She was married to Adson L. Vought in 1858 (the name was given then as Aaron L.) and in 1930 was living on a farm near Susquehanna, PA. JACOB of Vienna, NJ JOHN A. a doctor in Philadelphia, and living in 1930.

ELIZABETH HARTUNG of New Village SAMUEL J. of Belvidere (MRS.) MATILDA PITTINGER of Stewartsville JOSEPH M. of Brooklyn GEORGE B. of Baltimore (MRS.) EMMA F. OBERLY of Stewartsville.
