Spent last Thursday in southern Ohio, Gallia and Lawrence counties to be exact, looking for information regarding David Robertson and Rebecca Clark's families. I found that David's parents were David Sr. and Mary Ann Robertson.
The best piece of info I found was the power of attorney filed by James Robertson allowing him to sell David Sr.'s property in Ohio for the family. David Robertson Sr. had moved to Sangamon County, IL and died there in 1829. Unfortunately, the will appears to be lost, however the power of attorney lists several of the children.
I also went to Hanging Rock where Rebecca's family lived. Very interesting place.

Had a great time and found lots of information.
