Biography
Son of Josiah Robe and Jane Dunlap Frame.
1860 Census: William Robe age 45 b OH Mary Robe age 45 b OH; Mandy Robe age 21 b OH; Josiah Robe age 18 b OH; Culberson Robe age 16 b OH; John R Robe age 14 b OH; William Robe age 12 b OH; George Robe age 9 b OH; Mary E Robe age 3 b OH. Wills Township, Guernsey, Ohio. [1]
Aug 14, 1873 Thursday Cambridge Jeffersonian posted by Betty Stillion Shinn[2] Last week Wm. Robe cut his foot badly by letting a sharp ax fall on it.
Emma Eliza Laughlin's notes on the Robe and Frame families (1938).
From "Ohio Divorces: The Early Years", by Carol Willsey Bell, C.G. , 1994, p. 93. ROBE, JANE vs WILLIAM GUERNSEY CO. Oct 1831, petition for divorce filed 21 July 1831, she dismissed the case. (Guernsey Co Supreme Court Appearance Docket p57) 1834: divorce granted 28 Feb 1834 by act of State Legislature. They m 19 July 1825 in Guernsey Co., she was JANE HANNAH. She deserted 1830 & since then has lived with her father in Penna. (check Westmoreland Co.) She was named guardian of children SARAH ROBE & THOMAS HANNAH ROBE. (OHIO LAWS v32 p224) WILLIAM ROBE & JANE HANNA m 1825. (DAR: Guernsey Co Marriages). This cannot be the William Robe b 1814 since this marriage took place in 1825 when Josiah's son William was 11 years old. I do not know of any Robe families in Guernsey County other than Josiah's.

- 1830 Census, Wills Township, Guernsey County, Ohio:
1840 Census: William Robe resided Wills Township, Guernsey Co., OH., p. 314. There was a John Robe same page; could this be William's father Josiah? Or is this William the one who was divorced? [I now believe that the surname in the divorce case was Robb rather than Robe]
