Note for Augustin1 Robida and Nicolas1 Robidas.

It is with some misgivings that I attach herewith the names of Augustin and Nicolas as brothers of Gabriel.  As of this date, October 2002, there is no known verification except the history passed on to me by Jean Robida, grandson of Albert Robida, 1884-1926, Compiegne, France, who has verified the existence of one of the rifles described in other sections of this family tree. It is presently in his possession. Jean was born March 9, 1921.  It is from his information that I am taking the liberty of tying these two families together, considering birth dates and spaces between. Please forgive me if I am proved wrong. Augustin may have had more children. The story of the two rifles presented by Napoleon at the same time to two of the Robida boys, together with a joint grant of land, for "service beyond the call of duty" was recounted to me by my father Edward when I was 18 years old, or 1939.  The subsequent inability to find the deed to this land supposedly created a feud between the two sons, resulting in one keeping the name Robida, and the other, Robidas-Manseau. I have recounted several "Manseau's" who relate the same story. The Manseau part of the family migrated to Canada, where Gabriel's descendants began their life in the New France. - Contributed by Philip G. Robida
