In a 1933 typescript publication entitled "Lineages of Some Early Hillsdale County Families," compiled and indexed by Vivian Lyon Moore, one finds the following descendancy from George ROBARDS and Temperance MONROE:

Perhaps this information will help ROBARDS researchers untangle Jason ROBARDS' ancestry.Vivian Lyon Moore was apparently a resident of Hillsdale County and states she had firsthand knowledge of the lineages she included in the publication and used other family members' as sources as well.
