An Historical Account of ANDREW ROBESON of Scotland and of His Descendents - by Susan Stroud Robeson, Caroline Franciscus Stroud - Compiled, edited and published by Kate Hamilton Osborne - J.B. Lippincott Company, Philadelphia - copyright 1916)
pgs 120-121: Andrew Robeson lived first in Adams County, PA near Gettysburg, andafterwards, about 1792, or 1793 moved to Huntingdon County, PA. Many of his descendents have settled in the Western States. His wife was born in Ireland, her mother however, was a native of Wales; the family first came to America when Rosamond was five years old; her sister married William, a brother of Andrew Robeson.

Andrew's son Moses, used to speak of a relative of his father's, an uncle, from NC, who visited them when Moses was a boy. He told them of the condition of NC after the Revolution, and that the a county in NC was named for the "Robeson" family. The uncle was doubtless David Robeson, uncle to Andrew.
From the late Mr. David Robeson of Lewiston, PA.

David Robeson was one of the executors of his estate.

Sealed to parents under Andrew Robinson.
