Patriarchs Page

 

This page is divided into three sections--DNA Tested Robb (and other variations) Lines, Project Members Not Yet Tested, and Major Ancestral Lines

We will list all Families, by Earliest Ancestor and Line Leader who wish to be listed. We also hope to eventually locate descendants of each family and to arrange their participation in the DNA project. Participation in the DNA Project is not a requirement for listing on this page, but we will indicate families who have a man representing them in the DNA Project. We invite you to join the project. You'll need to either be a male Robb, or have a father, brother, uncle, or cousin who can be tested for you. It's easy, and there's no blood involved. Just a cotton swipe on the inside of your cheek. 

 

Order a DNA test and see where your Robb family fits in.

The line of Robert Robb of Cumberland and Lycoming Counties, Pennsylvania has an 63/67 match with the descendants of Joseph Robb below. There is an 80% chance of a common relative within 12 generations and a 93% chance within 16 generations, so these families are certainly connected. Robb researcher John B. Robb has good evidence to support that many of these lineage 2 families connect to John Robb b. say 1695, who appears first on the 1726 tax list for Sadsbury Township, Chester Co., PA, and continues there until at least 1748. He is found on the tax list for Cumberland Co. in 1751 and made his will in that county on 10 Jun 1761.

The line of William Robb b.1750 in Ireland matches the line of William Robe, born 1719 in Scotland, and the line of James Robb, who died in 1814 in Indiana, on 34 of 37 markers. This means that there is a 90% probability that there is a common ancestor within 16 generations for all three families.

The William Rab of Lancaster Co., PA line
Information on William Rabb, b. 1770, can be found in the Handbook of Texas Online. William Rabb was one of Stephen F. Austin's "Old 300" colonists, and his biography on the Handbook of Texas website makes for fascinating reading. The descendants of Andrew Robb are related to the Robb lineage above, with an 80% chance of a common ancestor within the last 16 generations, and a 98% chance of a common ancestor within the last 25 generations. While more distant from Andrew, the descendants of John Robb b. abt 1729 still show a close relationship to R-2 above.

The Joseph Robb of York and Washington Counties, Pennsylvania Line
The immigrant ancestor, Joseph, appears first in the 1760s in the records of York Co., PA, where most of his children were presumably born, but removed late in life to Washington Co, PA, Cross Creek Township, where he died about 1812, leaving a will. Descendants of Joseph are found in many of the same counties of western PA, OH, and IA as descendants of the immigrant ancestor William Rab, also of Lineage 2. There is a 64/67 match between this line and the line of James Robb b. c1780 above. Descendants of this lineage include John Barrett Robb.

Family Lines Not Yet DNA Tested 


These lines have been submitted by Robb/Rabb Family DNA Project Members. We hope that someone from each of these lines will get tested so we can connect them to their ancestral line. 

Robb/Rob/Raub/Raab/Rabb 

This Robb line originates in Stonebyres, Lesmahagow, Lanarkshire, Scotland, and descendants migrated to Michigan. According to a researcher of this line, Scott Pomeroy, early searches of parish records show that a John Robb and Mary MacLeod, both of Lesmahagow Parish, had a son John Robb baptized in 1646, and a son James Robb baptized in 1650. Either of these sons could be the grandfather of Thomas Robb. b. 1715.

Major Ancestral Family Lines

These lines are included because they represent major colonial and European and ancestral Robb families from whom many researchers are descended. While many of these lines are well documented, you are encouraged in the strongest possible manner to carefully document your own family lines to ensure that a) these lines are correct and b) that you are really connected to them. As we get more members tested, we will be able to move these lines to the top of the page where our DNA confirmed lines reside, and you will be able to see if your own DNA results match them.

 

 

German Raub, Raup, Robb Lines 

The Hans Herg Raub Line
The line of many Robb, Raub, Raup, Roop, etc. families who came from Northampton and Northumberland County seem to point back to Hans Jerg, or Henry George Raub, who came to America on the ship "Loyal Judith" from Germany via Rotterdam and arrived in Philadelphia in 1732. There were a number of Raub, Raup, Rapp, and Roups listed on the passenger list, and while some were likely related, it is not certain how--if at all--the different men were related. Now, thanks to genetic genealogy and DNA testing, we have the ability to sort out these lines. The list below is compiled from a number of sources including Pennsylvania German Pioneers A list of ships arriving in Philadelphia 1727 to 1808 , Vol. 1, 1727 to 1775 by Ralph Strassburger; the Ancestral File; and a number of very well done family research sites including http://www.raub-and-more.com.

 

Please e-mail John Harrison at dna@jhamedia.com with any additions or corrections. Again, please remember that this information is provided to show possible connection points. I have not verified these lines, so please ensure that they are correct before pasting them into your family tree as "yours." 

 

As we get members of these lines tested, we will be able to move them to the top of the page in the proper lineage group.

The Peter Raub Line
Peter Raub may have been a son of Philip Raub, who came over from Germany in 1732 on the ship, "Loyal Judith." We need to get a descendant on this line DNA tested so we can ascertain if there was, in fact, a connection. Peter died intestate 13 June 1740.

The Philip Raub Line
Philip Raub may have been the father of some of the Raubs, Raups, etc. who accompanied him on the "Loyal Judith" from Germany to Philadelphia. While at this time the relationships are not clear, DNA testing should be able to sort this out.
