Samuel Robb - Cigar Store Indians

I am wondering if anyone is connected to Samuel Anderson Robb. He is best known for his carving of cigar store indians in the late 19th century. (He's famous enough that you can google him and find out plenty of information.) My connection to him, is that he married Emma Jane Pelham, the sister of my Great Grand Father. I think that they had two children, Samuel and Clarence. Clarence married Charlotte Hartman and they had two children. (And that's where the trail ends.) Emma (Pelham) Robb died in childbirth of their second son. Family legend is that as a memorial to her, he put her face into the female indians he carved. Feel free to contact me if you have any information [[upstatejeff at fastermail dot com]] or visit my web page and see this connection in pdf format at http://www.jeffandheather.com/misc_stuff/pelham_family_tree.pdf
