| 1254 | RABB, JOHN (1798? 1861). John Rabb, early settler, son of Mary (Smalley) and William Rabb, was born in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, on January 1, 1798. The family moved successively to Ohio, Illinois, and then Jonesboro (i.e. Jonesborough), Arkansas, where John married Mary Crownover (see RABB, MARY CROWNOVER) on October 2, 1821. He came to Texas in 1822 as one of Stephen F. Austin's Old Three Hundred colonists and lived for a time near San Felipe de Austin. He was given title to a sitio of land now part of Fort Bend and Austin counties on July 8, 1824. He finally settled on Rabb's Prairie in what is now Fayette County, where he and his father received a bonus of land for building a grist and saw mill. Rabb went on an Indian campaign under John Henry Moore to Fort Tenoxtitl?n in 1835 and in 1840 was again in military service when he joined a company under his brother, Thomas J. Rabb. After joining the Methodist Church in 1834, Rabb gave land to the missionary society of the church and to Rutersville College, for which he was treasurer in 1840. He also contributed the lumber for building the first Methodist church in San Antonio. In 1845 he was vice president of the Fayette County Temperance Society. Rabb later moved to Hill County and, in 1860, to Travis County, where he helped to settle Barton Springs. He died there on June 5, 1861, and was buried at Oakwood Cemetery.

| 1255 | RABB, MARY CROWNOVER (1805?1882). Mary (Polly) Crownover Rabb, early Texas pioneer and supporter of Methodism, was born in Buncombe County, North Carolina, on April 8, 1805, the daughter of John and Mary (Chesney) Crownover. Her father, a hatter, took his family to Arkansas Territory in 1820. In 1821 Mary met and married John Rabb, with whom she eventually had nine children. In 1823 the young family left Arkansas to begin a new life in Stephen F. Austin's colony in Texas. "Now my childern and gran childern I am going to try to tell you something about the way your Pa and me had to do to get land for you." So begin the reminiscences Mary Rabb wrote of her early years in Texas, which were published as Travels and Adventures in Texas in the 1820s. She and John settled first on the Colorado River a few miles upstream from the site of the future La Grange, where John's father, William Rabb, had claimed a headright in Austin's colony. Harassed by Indians, they moved eastward to the Brazos River, where John claimed a league of land below the site of present-day Richmond. Swarms of mosquitoes, sand flies, and gnats made living there impossible, and soon they moved again. Over the course of their first half dozen years in Texas, the family moved several times, with their few household goods, including chickens, tied atop a packhorse. The Rabbs established several temporary homes along the Brazos and Colorado rivers. During warm weather they camped out, their shelter a tent made of quilts and a sheet. During winters they built a cabin or stayed with relatives who had one, though Mary recalled spending one winter in a shed that was open on three sides. One of their houses was washed away by a flood. Often Mary and her children were left alone. On such occasions she tended the stock, saw to child-rearing and household chores, and continued the never-ending task of spinning. Karankawa and Tonkawa Indians remained in the area. Mary kept her spinning wheel going to drown out their sounds, which frightened her. Another recurrent fear was that alligators from the Brazos would eat her children. The Rabbs sometimes visited Mary's parents, who had moved to Texas, or John's parents, or friends. Whenever a Methodist preacher came through the country, Mary and John attended the camp meetings. In 1832 they returned to Rabbs Prairie above La Grange and began operating a mill. In 1836 they were forced to flee the Mexican army as it moved to quell the Texas Revolution. Their infant child Lorenzo died during the Runaway Scrape. After the revolution the Rabbs and their neighbors rebuilt their homes and farms. The Texans prospered, and John and Mary accumulated a substantial amount of land in Fayette County. Following Mary's lead, John became a Methodist, and the two of them helped to finance and organize Rutersville College, the first college in Texas and a precursor of Southwestern University. Their final move was to a site near Barton Springs, outside Austin. They lived there in a log cabin until John's death in 1861 or 1862 and built a sizable herd of cattle marked with their Bow and Arrow brand. During the Civil War, one of their sons, John Wesley Rabb, served as a sergeant in the Eighth Texas Cavalry (Terry's Texas Rangers), and another, Virgil Sullivan Rabb, was captain of Company I, George M. Flournoy's regiment, Walker's Texas Division. In 1867 Mary hired workmen to build a two-story house of limestone near the old cabin. Safe at last from floods, alligators, and Indians, she continued to raise stock and to support the Methodist Church until her death, on October 15, 1882. She was buried beside her husband in Oakwood Cemetery, Austin. BIBLIOGRAPHY: Ann Fears Crawford and Crystal Sasse Ragsdale, Women in Texas (Burnet, Texas: Eakin Press, 1982). Thomas W.

| 1256 | RABB, THOMAS J. (ca. 1801?1846). Thomas J. Rabb, soldier and member of Stephen F. Austin's Old Three Hundred, was born in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, about 1801, the son of Mary (Smalley) and William Rabb. He was the brother of Andrew and John Rabb and Rachel (Rabb) Newman. All were settlers in Stephen F. Austin's original colony and for this reason received substantial land grants from the Mexican government. The family left Pennsylvania about 1803 and, after a short stay with relatives in Warren County, Ohio, reached their destination near the Mississippi River in Indiana Territory (later Illinois Territory) in 1804. They moved to Arkansas Territory in 1818. As early as 1819, while the family was living near the Red River in Arkansas Territory, Rabb made exploratory trips with his father into south central Texas in preparation for eventual settlement in the region. He accompanied his parents on their move to a chosen site in Austin's proposed colony, where they arrived in December 1821. In early 1822 Rabb and his father met with Austin on his return to Texas following the death of his father, Moses Austin. When Stephen Austin went to Mexico City to reconfirm his colonization permit, they accompanied him to San Antonio. The other members of the Rabb family had remained in Arkansas Territory; they traveled to Texas in the fall of 1823. Initially, the entire family settled on the west side of the Colorado River a short distance above the site of present La Grange. In the spring of 1824 the Rabbs decided to move farther south in the colony to escape Indian harassment. Thomas accompanied the family on this move and subsequently located near the settlement of Egypt in what is now Wharton County, an area of Austin's colony known as the District of Colorado. On July 24, 1824, he received title to his headright of one square league (about 4,500 acres) in that area. In 1824 he was appointed first lieutenant in a militia battalion organized by Stephen Austin for security of the colony. In the 1825 census Rabb is listed as a farmer and stock raiser. On October 6, 1835, Rabb joined the volunteer army forming to intercept Mexican troops being sent into Texas to take punitive action against the colonists, and on October 28 he participated in the battle of Concepci?n. He was honorably discharged on November 23, 1835, and was subsequently selected by the General Council to recruit reinforcements for the newly authorized volunteer Texas army. He was elected a delegate from the Mina district to the Convention of 1836 but chose not to attend because he was engaged in raising a company of soldiers for military service. He received an appointment as captain, effective February 1, 1836, and his troops became Company F, First Regiment of the revolutionary army. On March 6 Rabb led his company into Gonzales to join other troops gathering there under the command of Gen. Sam Houston. After the fall of the Alamo he served with the army during its eastward withdrawal. On April 4, after the Runaway Scrape began, Rabb left the army, with the approval of General Houston, to rescue his family on the Colorado River from the advancing Mexican forces. He subsequently rejoined the army and was honorably discharged on August 29, 1836. He was not present at the battle of San Jacinto. After the war Rabb moved back to his home near Egypt. He later moved to Rabb's Prairie in what is now Fayette County, where he apparently settled on a portion of the large grant that his father had received for erecting a gristmill to help feed the settlers of Austin's colony. Beginning in September 1840 Rabb served as captain of a ranger company under the command of Col. John H. Moore. In this capacity he participated in a campaign against the Comanche Indians that culminated in a Texan victory near the Red Fork of the Colorado River (near present Colorado City in Mitchell County) on October 24, 1840, thus putting an end to the Comanche uprising which had begun the previous year (see LINNVILLE RAID OF 1840). Camp Rabb, located on the Concho River within what is now either Concho or Tom Green County, was probably named for Thomas Rabb. His last recorded military service was in March 1842, when a company under his command was deployed to San Antonio to assist in repelling a raid by Mexican troops led by Gen. Rafael V?squez. Thomas Rabb married twice. His first wife, Serena Gilbert, was the daughter of colonist Sarah Gilbert. They had three children. Serena died in 1836, soon after returning home from the Runaway Scrape. Sometime later, Rabb married a woman named Barthenia; they had two children. He died at his residence in Fayette County on October 29, 1846, and is believed to be buried near Round Top.

| 1257 | RABB, WILLIAM (1770? 1831). William Rabb, one of Stephen F. Austin's Old Three Hundred colonists, the eldest son of Andrew and Mary (Scott) Rabb, was born on December 21, 1770, in Fayette County, Pennsylvania. He married Mary Smalley about 1789 and they eventually had four sons, Andrew, John, Thomasqv, and Ulysses, and a daughter, Rachel, who later married Joseph Newman. Rabb and his family left Pennsylvania about 1803. After a brief sojourn with relatives in Ohio, Rabb reached his destination near the Mississippi River in Indiana Territory (later Illinois Territory) in 1804. There he built and operated a large gristmill on Cahokia Creek near present-day Collinsville, Illinois. He also served as Madison county judge and in 1814 was elected to the legislature of Illinois Territory, where he served for two terms. In 1818 the Rabbs moved to Clear Creek settlement on the north side of the upper Red River in Arkansas Territory, in what is now Choctaw County, Oklahoma. From there, Rabb made an exploratory trip into Texas in 1819 and chose an area on the east side of the Colorado River as the site he wished to acquire. When the federal government ceded the land north of the Red River to the Choctaw Indians in 1820, Rabb moved his family south of the river to Jonesborough, an area now in Red River County, Texas. Although the Arkansas Territory authorities attempted to exercise civil jurisdiction over the Jonesborough settlers, the Rabbs were technically in Spanish territory. In 1821 Rabb wrote a letter to the Spanish governor in San Antonio de B?xar which stated, among other things, that he intended to settle soon on the Colorado River as a member of Austin's colony. When and where Rabb first became involved in the plan of Moses Austin and his son, Stephenqv, to establish a colony in Texas is uncertain. Since Rabb is believed to have been a longstanding acquaintance of the Austins, he probably was aware of their plan at an early date. Somewhere along the line they reached an agreement whereby Rabb would build a gristmill in the proposed colony to help supply the settlers in exchange for a sizable grant of land. Rabb and his wife and two unmarried sons left Jonesborough and arrived at his site on the Colorado River in December 1821. Probably for security reasons plus availability of fresh water from springs, they initially settled on the high ground west of the river at a place Rabb called Indian Hill. Located a short distance above present-day La Grange in Fayette County, it was directly across the river from the rich bottom land that he had chosen on his exploratory trip in 1819. When Stephen F. Austin returned from a journey to Mexico City in 1823 with the news that the Mexican authorities had reconfirmed his colonization contract and would honor land titles in the colony, Rabb returned to Jonesborough to fetch the remaining members of his family. They arrived in December 1823, and for a while the entire family remained at Indian Hill. However, in early 1824, they moved downriver to the little settlement of Egypt in present-day Wharton County in order to escape Indian harassment. Title to Rabb's land grant was signed by Stephen Austin and Commissioner Baron de Bastrop on July 19, 1824. It was one of the earliest and largest grants made in Austin's first colony and comprised a total of five square leagues, or one "hacienda," of about 22,000 acres. Two leagues of approximately 9,000 acres were located in the area near the Gulf of Mexico known as Bay Prairie in present-day Matagorda County. The other three leagues of over 13,000 acres comprised the land granted to Rabb as the result of his agreement to build a gristmill in the upper portion of the colony. Situated on the east side of the Colorado River in present-day Fayette County, it is the site Rabb chose in 1819 and is the tract known today as Rabb's Prairie. Although he soon left Egypt and returned to Rabb's Prairie to begin work on the mill, Rabb was forced to abandon the project on several occasions due to threats of Indian attack. In 1830 the ayuntamiento of San Felipe de Austin, the governing council of Austin's colony, reviewed Rabb's situation and reconfirmed his title. Also, because of delays caused by Indian harassment, it approved an additional eighteen months for him to finish construction of the mill. With the help of his sons, Rabb completed his mill in 1831. Some of the material used in its construction came from New Orleans, but it was the transportation and installation of two large grinding stones, or burrs, that proved to be an accomplishment of considerable ingenuity and determination. The mill stones, each weighing around a ton, had been imported from Scotland and off-loaded at Matagorda at the mouth of the Colorado River. The problem facing Rabb was how to move these two ponderous objects to his mill in Rabb's Prairie, a distance of about 100 miles. Driftwood rafts and shallow water made it impractical to float them upriver on a barge. His solution was to make an axle, attach the mill stones on the ends to serve as wheels, and use oxen to pull the resulting vehicle overland to his mill. Rabb lived to see his mill in operation but died later in 1831. His wife died a few months afterward. They are believed to be buried in an old abandoned cemetery on a hillside overlooking Rabb's Prairie. | Rabb, William (I1923)

| 1264 | Rev. Joseph Hull was not married to Joanna Coffin! The name comes from some inventive and quite persuasive speculation by an eary Hull researcher, Orra Eugene Monnette. He based his speculation on the usual genealogical suspects: names of children, locations of possible relatives, etc. However, Phyllis Hughes found that the Joanna Coffin under consideration - daughter of Peter and Joanna (Thember) Coffin - was roughly 3 years old when she supposedly married, so that marriage is clearly wrong. You still see the name in various published genealogies, because other researchers copied Monnette, and still others copied them - but it is quite wrong. (See Phyllis's article in the Hull Family Association Journal, v. 12, #1, Spring 2001, pp 23-4) Agnes, second wife of Rev. Joseph Hull, was probably not a Coffin, either. She may have been related to Richard Barnard, "a noted Puritan," but this is not proven. Rev. Hull, Agnes, and his children from his first marriage emigrated to America with Richard Barnard's son Massachiel. This is why some researchers feel Agnes may have been related to Barnard. Rev. Hull's profile is locked to prevent the addition of Joanna Coffin as his wife. Please contact me or any curator if you need access to this profile. Maria Edmonds-Zediker, Volunteer Curator, April 28, 2014 =================================== Origins PLEASE NOTE: THERE MAY BE ERRORS IN THE ANCESTORS OF THIS LINE. REFER TO THE LINK BELOW. REV. JOSEPH HULL WHO CAME TO AMERICA DID NOT DESCEND FROM HUGH HULL. http://www.hullfamilyassociation.org/genealogist_errors_joseph.shtml The George Hull Line and the Reverend Joseph Hull Line of Crewkerne, co. Somerset, England These men were brothers and sons of Thomas Hull, the Younger. Thomas Hull, the Younger, was a son of Richard Hull and this is where the lineage ends, as the parish records terminate with this generation. There is absolutely no evidence to assign this family to a lineage which includes Hugh Hull and Matthew Hull. These Hulls are an entirely separate family from the Crewkerne, England, Hulls, and are not known to be related. The Reverend Joseph Hull Line (Brother of George Hull) Immigrated in 1635 from Crewkerne, co. Somerset, England biography from Rev. Joseph Hull ~1595 - 1665 Somerset, England - York Co, Maine dead link Like his father and grandfather, the Rev. Joseph Hull was born in interesting times; unlike them, he seemed to have felt the effects - possibly because he was a minister, and religion was the interesting topic of the day.? England had been Catholic, then Anglican, then Puritan under Cromwell, then back to Catholic with the Restoration. That's a bit simplified, but shows why religion played an important role in Rev. Joseph's life. Joseph Hull was the son of Thomas Hull the Younger and Joan Pysing. He was born late 1595 or early 1596 in Crewkerne, Somerset, England, the youngest of eleven children. He was baptized April 24, 1596 at Crewkerne. He was educated at Oxford, matriculating in 1612, and was ordained a deacon in 1619. n 1620, he was ordained a priest, and in 1621, received the living at St. Giles Rectory, Northleigh, Devon. James I was on the throne. He married his first wife about 1619. Her name is not known. There were seven known children. She died between 1632 and 1634, between the birth of her last child and Joseph's remarriage. He married Agnes and they had at least nine children and possibly eleven. Agnes' maiden name is not known. In 1627, two of his brothers (William and John) died; he and his brother George were the only children of Thomas still alive. In the winter of 1632/33, he resigned his living at Northleigh and moved back to the vicinity of Crewkerne - to Batcombe. It is not known why he resigned; this was the middle of the reign of Charles I. Rev. Joseph, as you will see, had a way of avoiding confrontation if at all possible.? His enemies called him contentious because he would do anything to avoid a fight - except change his opinions. Some time in the early 1630's his only remaining brother, George, emigrated to America. Also about this time, Joseph developed a pattern of being in trouble with the church authorities. In 1629, the wardens of Crewkerne were "presented" for allowing him to preach there without signing the Book of Strange Preachers. He was cited for illegal preaching at Broadway (Jan 1635) and, again in Jan 1635. He allegedly preached a sermon at Glastonbury, in which he was quoted as saying that "judgment hung over the land and that first it would fall on the clergy and then the laity." On 17 Feb 1635, he was actually expelled from the Church of England - not for the preaching as such, but for "failing to respond to the court's citation." On 26 March 1635, he left for the New World. He was the leader of a group of about 100 Puritans (including Richard Barnard's son Massachiel) who sailed, probably on the ship Welcome of Mellcomb, Thomas Chappell, master, from Poole. The passenger list wasn't exactly a passenger list, which is a fairly modern concept. Passengers who shipped their belongings with them paid an export tax and Rev. Joseph appears on the list of taxes paid for that voyage. As most people traveled on the same vessel as their belongings, it is fairly safe to assume he was aboard the Welcome. Rev. Joseph was about 40 years old at the time of this journey. Agnes was about 25. Seven children, ages 15 to 3, went with them, along with three servants. The family arrived in Boston on the 5th or 6th of May, 1635. On June 7, they landed at Dorchester, and on July 8, they settled at Weymouth (it was then known as Wessaguscus). On September 2nd, Rev. Joseph became a Freeman of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and took the oath at the General Court in Boston. He was the first legally authorized minister of the town of Weymouth under the rule of the Bay Colony, but he did not remain there long. The town split into various religious factions (Separatists, Moderates, and Hutchinsonites), so Rev. Joseph left. He settled at Hingham (now Norfolk Co, MA) in 1636. He received a grant of land there, and his son Hopewell, first child of Rev. Joseph and Agnes, was probably born there that same year. In 1638, he was elected a deputy to the General Court, and was appointed a magistrate (for the settlement of "small causes"). He seems to have devoted himself to civic affairs - another minister, the Rev. Peter Hobart, baptized his next son Benjamin - and to plans for colonization. In 1639, he led a group of people to settle in the Plymouth Colony, on Cape Cod, at what was then called Mattakeese, now Barnstable. The rock still stands where he preached his first sermon in 1639. In one short year he fell from his high position, he was excluded from office; he had lost his influence; he was unpopular, and many of his early friends had deserted him. He had been a magistrate and member of the General Court of Massachusetts Bay Colony, as well as minister at Weymouth. He, however, was in antagonism to the Boston Puritanical Party, retaining his attachment for the old establishment. He was the political and religious opponent of Governor Winthrop, being more than suspected of Prelacy. He felt chagrined; and the ungenerous treatment he thought he had received, induced him to move. In late spring 1641, he moved a few miles away, to Yarmouth, where he founded the Second Church of Yarmouth - and a few weeks later (1 May 1641), found himself excommunicated, for breaking communion with the Barnstable Church. On 7 Mar 1642 it was ordered at a session of the General Court "that a warrant shall be directed to the Constable of Yarmouth to apprehend Mr. Joseph Hull (if he do either exercise his ministry amongst them or administer the Seals), to bring him before the next magistrate, to find sufficient sureties for his appearance at the next General Court, to answer his doings (being an excommunicant)." In 1643, the Barnstable records state that Rev. Joseph Hull acknowledged his sin and was again received. "Our Sister Hull renewed her covenant, renouncing her joining at Yarmouth and confessed her evil in so doing, with sorrow." Rev. Joseph patched things up, more or less, but decided to move on again - this time to Maine, to the episcopal colony of Sir Ferdinando Gorges. Sometime before April 1643, he became the minister at Accomenticus (now York); he also had the Isles of Shoals under his charge. When Maine tried to join the confederation of the United Colonies (10 May 1643), it was refused admission, because of him - an excommunicated person and "very contentious." In August, he did more apologizing and was received again into fellowship with the Barnstable church. Rev Joseph stayed in Maine for about five years, working mostly as an itinerant missionary, but his old enemies were extending their sphere of influence. The Bay Colony was taking on Maine but would not allow Maine to join in alliance because of an "excommunicated preacher" in a position of influence. Sometime between March 1647 and January 1648/9, he and Agnes and some of the children returned to England. He served as the vicar at Launceston in Cornwall for the next several years, without any noticeable disputes - perhaps the country was too busy with the Civil War to bother with him. Charles I was beheaded on 30 January 1649. Rev. Joseph appears to have managed fairly well under the Cromwells - In 1656 (April 11), he became became Rector (or possibly Dean) at St Buryan, Cornwall (near Lands End). He did have some trouble with Quakers there - in 1659, George Fox, the Quaker apostle, visited Lands End, and wrote a paper addressed to priests and justices, containing some uncomplimentary remarks addressed specifically to "Priest Hull:" The Restoration of Charles II (1660) brought with it the restoration of the priest who had previously been in charge of St Buryan. Rev. Joseph was at loose ends again, and in 1662, he returned to America. He went first to Oyster River (a precinct of Dover, now Strafford County, NH) where several of his children were living - and he had some more trouble with Quakers there. Not long after this, he recovered his old parish at York, where he died 19 Nov 1665, somewhere on the Isles of Shoals, or possibly in York itself. He left no will. He was buried in York. Agnes was granted Letters of Administration of the estate in June 1666, so she lived at least that long. Her date and place of death are not known. The chief item in his estate inventory was his library, valued at ten pounds. Reviewing all, we can conclude that in England Rev. Joseph Hull was a conformist, and remained within the pale of the church, obedient to Anglican or Episcopalian authority, that in New England he endeavored to hold to a middle course, but that failing in this, after repeated attempts, he finally withdrew to a province where he was free to practice and profess as best suited his conscience. No whisper has reached us that he was unorthodox or weak in his theology, and of his moral nature we catch glimpses of but three traits; that in habit he was scholarly, in temperament religious, and in spirit contentious. family Children of Rev.

He graduated from Hall-Dale High School, and in 1974 earned an undergraduate degree in political science at the University of Maine ? Orono. While at Orono, he became active in Republican party politics, which became an enduring passion and advocation. After graduation, he worked for a while in the Senate majority office when it was under Republican control. Later, he was twice the valiant, though unsuccessful Republican candidate for Portland?s Senate District 8, then a notoriously Democratic stronghold. He was a proud supporter and friend of Sen. Olympia Snowe, Sen. William Cohen and Sen. Susan Collins. In 1981, he began working for Bicknell Photo Services, Scarborough. Throughout time, he became vice president of human resources and a part owner of the company. In 1988, Bicknell was sold to Konica USA. He continued as vice president of human resources for Konica Quality Photo East, where he oversaw, wrote and administered employee personnel policies. He was active on behalf of Konica in many business and community organizations. In the early 90s he was president of the human resources association of the Maine Chamber and Business Alliance. He was also a member of the National Association of Manufacturers and represented Konica at meetings until he retired from his position in 1996, due to illness. In 1983, after the murder of gay man Charlie Howard, Robin, along with other leaders of the gay movement, founded the Maine Lesbian Gay Political Association, MLGPA, to fight for civil rights and equal protection under the law for gay people. For many years Robin publicly appeared to be the lone Republican supporter of LGBT Civil Rights. Undaunted, through time he was able to persuade many in his party to join him in pressing for equal rights for all. For many years he served on the MLGPA, now Equality Maine Board and was twice recognized by them for his outstanding work for civil rights. Robin Lambert was an early advocate for addressing the complicated and important issues that surrounded the human immunodeficiency infection, HIV, as it began to impact Maine. As an openly gay man with many friends who were at risk for the infection and also as a director of human resources at Konica, he recognized immediately the deadly potential of the virus to affect all Maine people. He was a founding member of the AIDS project, TAP, in Portland, which was established in the early 80s to provide information and support to people who wanted to avoid becoming infected and to those who feared that they might already be infected. TAP was one of the first community responses to HIV infection in Maine. As a result of his early advocacy and hard work, Mr. Lambert was appointed to Governor McKernan?s AIDS Advisory Committee in 1987 and served on that committee for a number of years. Robin Lambert, a devoted friend and ally of Frannie Peabody, was a longtime board member and volunteer at the Peabody House, Portland, an organization which gives comprehensive assistance to people living with HIV/AIDS. He will be remembered for his great courage and determination in battling HIV infection, not only for himself, but also for the world around him. He was passionate and enthusiastic about all his causes, which ranged from civil rights to health care to medical marijuana to politics to art. His energy and tireless work for the causes he supported was legendary. He gave generously of all of his resources, his energies and his creativity. A compulsive reader of the New York Times and local newspapers, his take on the news of the day was invariably informed, scathing and delicious. He loved his family, his friends and Maine itself. For many summers he rented a house on Monhegan Island, where he brought his family and friends for glorious days of hikes and boating and evenings of lobster dinners and games in that spectacular setting. How he will be missed! Robin?s greatest joy in life was his daughter, Jodi, who recently delighted her father by marrying Lawrence Meader, a man he much admired. Together they gave him the perfect grandchild, Lilli. He is survived by his parents, Don and Lucille Lambert of Farmingdale; brothers, Allen Lambert of Limestone, Jon Lambert of Farmingdale and Tim Lambert of Cross Lake; sister, Dawn Real; special nephew, Tucker Real of Farmingdale; daughter, Jodi Meader and her husband, Lawrence Meader; granddaughter, Lillian Meader of Farmingdale; his recently discovered son, Lee Green Jr.; his former wife and good friend, Joline Rees of Augusta; and his trusted dog friend, Harley. His partner, Harley Hamilton; as well as many dear and beloved friends, predeceased him. Robin?s family extends thanks and gratitude to Dr. Robert Smith for caring for Robin with much compassion and giving us extra time with him; and Lani Graham and Rudy Narvaez, his beloved friends, who gave him dedicated, enduring support throughout the years. | Lambert, Robin Don (I6974)
