Hello Billie Boswell, have been reading your entries in the Boswell forum with greartinterest. My name is Jerald Roby, I am a decendant of the Port Tobacco/ Charles Co. Maryland Roby family. Have been trying for years to figure out the group of Roby-Robey's that went to Georgia abt. 1800. Two, Timothy Robey and Mathew Roby have been documented and are the sons of Samuel Roby of Charles Co. Maryland. This Samuel Roby is on alist of Charles Co. Rev. War Malitia, along with your Jesse Boswell. In faact I think there are 7 Boswell's and 13 Roby's on this list.
I believe them to be kinfolk, resulting from some earlier intermarriages. I believe that most of them went to Georgia about the same time. There appears to be about 7 more subsequent intermarriages in Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. I know that Henley Roby is kin to Timothy and Mathew, probably a first cousin, but have been unable to document this. In addition I see many of the same names in your Boswell lines that are in mine, Burgess, Henley, Johnson, Griffin, etc. Have you run across any Boswell-Roby/Robey ties??? Would be interesrted in anything.
Also of interest is that fact that for the last 28 years I have been an Engineer for the J.G.Boswell Co., The Company was started and is run by decendants of the Boswell family from Green Co., Georgia. I don't know, but I bet they are part of the Charles Co. connection also.The present CEO is J.G.Boswell (James Griffin), the Company was started by his father and two uncles:
William W. Boswell, Col. James G. Boswell, and Walter O. Boswell. Anyway thought you would be interested. If you ever find anything on Roby/Boswell/Henley connections would appreaciate the info, will gladly share anything that I have...good to talk to you, bye for now.....Jerald W. Roby
