• Notes

  Email received Sept. 9, 1998 from Barbara Spain, BLBSJOS@aol.com Joyce: I received your e-mail about the Drapers, specifically, your Gideon, and his parents, Nathan and Joanna Robards. Yes, Nathan and Joanna are my ancestors, too. My descent is through their daughter, Joanna, who married Samuel Harnden. I find it interesting that you used the spelling "Robards." I have seen that used a couple times, but I have usually seen it spelled "Roberts." Do you have reason to believe the name was actually "Robards?" Probably most research we would do would list the two spellings as one family; but one never knows for sure. You say that you have a Nathan and a Nathan Jr. in the 1790 Census for Washington Co., NY and you wonder if this is the Nathan who married Joanna. I am almost certain that it is. I, too, have seen that Census, and almost all the Drapers were in NY at that time, as was Samuel Harnden, who my Joanna married. You probably noticed, as I did, that in 1790, James, Nathan, and Nathan, Jr., were all living in a row, with Nathaniel a few houses away and Samuel Harnden a few houses away from the Drapers. Jonathan Harnden was there, too. I'm not sure how Jonathan was related to my Samuel. Another interesting piece of information is that Nathaniel Draper, son of Nathan and Joanna, married a Hannah Roberts in 1779. She was probably related to Joanna in some way, besides the fact that Hannah was Joanna's daughter-in-law. You ask if I can shed any light on death dates for Nathan and Joanna. Unfortunately, I cannot. I do know that they were married on 18 January, 1748 in Killingly, CT. But their death dates and places are unknown to me. You say your Gideon died in Union Co., Ohio. Was he buried there as well? I have recorded that Gideon, Nathan, Jr., and Ruben, all served in the Dutchess County, NY, Militia, and that their brother John served in the Albany County, Ny, Militia. Perhaps that is something you can add to your records. I was glad to hear from you, and I hope we can stay in touch by e-mail. Barbara Spain
