The Robertson family...

---

Note: It is believed that William Robertson was originally William Sands and changed his name to Robertson. Tracing this man back would lead to the West Indies...

Rock Sound -- Located in South Eleuthera, in the Bahamas. Rock Sound opens onto Exuma Sound and is located to the south of Tarpum Bay. The town is at least 2 centuries old, and it has many old-fashioned homes with picket fences out front. Once notorious for wreckers who lured ships ashore with false beacons, it used to be known as "Wreck Sound." See map...
