I am looking for information on a Robart family.This family is probably French quite probably Robert. I have a copy of a will made 16 Oct. 1714 in Amwell Twp., Hunterdon Co., N. J. by Vincent Robart. The heirs are wife Maudlyn, (Madeline) sons Vincent and John. Among his effects was a French Bible. Ths family spread over southern N. J. before moving to other states. The names of Vincent and John were frequently used. I found a John Robart, in Salem Co., N. J. Militia Census of 1795. Listed also were John and Vincent probable sons. I belive the John, Jr. is my ggggrandfather who came, apparently, from Salem Co. to Cape May Co., N. J. with his family ca 1798. About the same time a Vincent Robart also came to Cape May Co., N. J. The name Robart has apparently been changed to Rhubart, Rubart, Rewbart, Ruebart, Rubert, as well as, possibly, others.
