FatherJohn Robb (1763-1861)
MotherSarah Hanan (1775-)
Misc. Notes
Married John Hamel in Ireland and came to America with her niece Sarah (dau of Patrick).
The children’s baptism records confirm her marriage to John Hamel, but she may have died before 1840, as she seems to be not counted in the census - unless it was an error.
The children then appear to be listed in 1850 with the Cunningham family in Bangor, and no further listing has been found for John or Mary.
