Robert Robins (b. 1777), d. 1856, aged 79. Margaret Robins (his wife), b. 1783, d. 1850, aged 67. Cornelius Robins, b. Feb. 10, 1805, d. Aug. 7, 1855, aged 50.

HANOVER GREEN CEMETERY.
Ashley, but returned to New Jersey in 1817 and lived there till 1837, when he came back to Hanover. His wife was Margaret Sharps. They had John, married Sarah Carter ; Dr. Cornelius, born 1805, died 1855, never married ; Elizabeth, married Philip Hortung; Jona- than, married Elizabeth Winters; Robert, married Helen Houpt; Isaac, married Margaret Keithline ; Jacob, married Maria Line; William G., married, first, Margaret Albertson ; second, Josephine George. They all removed to the west more than twenty years ago, ex- cept William G. Cornelius was the doctor and was killed by being thrown out of his car- riage while making a professional visit in Wright township. The Robins farm was at the northern end of Nanticoke.
John Robins (b. 1785), d. 1831, aged 46. Mary Robins (wife), b. 1786, d. 1868, aged 82. John Robins was of a different family from Robert, but he also came from New Jersey. His wife was Mary Garrison. He owned the property where the Sugar Notch reservoir now is. They had Elizabeth, born 1806, married Lewis Whitlock; Mary, born 1808, died 1880 ; Cornelius, born IS10, married Hannah Wiggins ; Abner, born 1812, died 1884, mar- ried Catharine Faustnach ; Margaret, born 1814, married Nathan G. Howe; John G., born 1820, died 1855 ; James II., born 1822, married Harriet Monega; Elias, born 1826, died 1887, married, first, Mary A. Mill; second, Sarah Overton. Mrs. Robins lived some years at the homestead after her husband's death. Some one of the children got sick one night and she got up to attend to it, and as she stepped out of bed a copperhead snake bit her in the foot and when she stepped off of it she was bitten in the other foot. Yet she lighted a candle and hunted for the snake in the room and found it and killed it before she would let any of the children get up and go for the neighbors and a doctor. And yet she lived through it and lived to a good old age.
Lorenzo Ruggles, b. 1791, d. 1868 (aged 77). Polly Ruggles (his wife), b. 1798, d. 1832, (aged 43). Lovina Ruggles (b. 1810), d. 1817, aged 7.

Richards lived in the lower part of Wilkes-Barre in the early times, but whether any of these are of that family I do not know. A David, of about this age, married Mary Dilley, daughter of the first Richard Dilley. So I cannot place these.

THE WYOMING VALLEY.
James Shafer (b. 1753), d. 1804, aged 52. I am unable to tell anything about this Shafer.

Ramsey; John, born 1822; Charles, born 1824, married Miranda Myers; Margaret, born 1826, married Edwin F. Ferris.
John Saum (b. 1777), d. 1854, aged 77. Caroline Saum, wife of Christian, d. 1853, aged 48. John Saum was a son of Christian; came to Hanover with his father's family previous to 1796; married Elizabeth Garrison ; lived on the Back Road adjoining the lower line of Ashley.

Lazarus Stewart (b. 1781), d. 1839, aged 58. Elizabeth Stewart (wife), b. 1786, d. 1845, aged 59. Charles Stewart, d. 1854. This Lazarus was a son of James, brother of the cap- tain. After his father died the widow married Captain Andrew Lee, of Nanticoke, and was the mother of Colonel Washington Lee, and James S. Lee. He lived and died in Wilkes-Barre. His wife was Elizabeth Crisman.
George Sively, b. 1789, d. 1854, aged 65. Frances Stewart, wife, b. 1777, d. 1855, aged 78. Stewart Sively, b. 1814, d. 1863, aged 49. Archibald Sively (b. 1824), d. 1880, aged 56.

Pfouts.
Sarah Thomas (b. 1746), died 1835, aged 89. Rebecca Thomas, b. 1774, d. 1849, aged . 75. I do not know who Sarah Thomas is, but think she may be the mother of Freeman Thomas and Rebecca Thomas. I knew Freeman and his sister Rebecca. He had owned the cottage at the north side of Hanover Green cemetery, but I think he sold it to Barnet Miller and removed to Northumberland, Pa., when very old, and died there about 1854 or '5. Rebecca never married, but lived alone some forty rods south of the Red Tavern on the River Road. She had considerable property and Freeman Thomas administered on the estate, and there were two or three others besides himself to share in it, but I do not remember their names.
Joseph E. Vanlear, b. 1815, d. 1874 (aged 59). Vanlear lived in Wilkes-Barre and I do not know why he was buried here.
Joseph Wright (b. 1773), d. 1828, aged 55. Elizabeth Wright, wife of David, b. 1797, d. 1853, aged 56.

HANOVER GREEN CEMETERY.
This list was made in 1883 for use in writing my History of Wyoming Valley and Han- over and there are many monuments and tombstones there now-1894-that have been erected since. There are hundreds of burials there that have no tombstones to mark the graves, and there is no record of them unless the families kept a private register.
