  I do so appreciate the replies by members who have a connection to or
knowledge of Fayette Co. and southwestern PA. Some have reveled facts that
I was unaware of.  For what it is worth I am coping a brief sketch of
my line several generations back.  The info regarding William Augustine
Robbins came to me through Leona Cheeney twenty-five years ago or more.
Is anyone familiar with Mrs. Cheeney, I presume that she is deceased
by now.

Yes, I had my brother Jim tested for 67 markers, the familytreedna.com
test is  #107531.  I listed John b. abt. 1797 m. Sarah as the earliest
known ancestor.  Leona Cheeney believed John's  parents to be William
and Mary Evans Robbins, but I haven't proven it.
