- Robert Nisbet was born on August 22, 1744 in Coultershaw, Scotland and emigrated to
Massachusetts before 1773. He married Hannah Tingley on November 4, 1773 in Attleboro,
Massachusetts, and they raised a family of several children in Adams, Berkshire County,
Massachusetts. Robert Nisbet was the first speaker of the Quaker group in Adams. Of the
five known children of Robert and Hannah, two, Robert Jr. and Samuel, eventually moved to
the Town of Lee in Oneida County, New York. The Nisbet families in Lee were early settlers
to the area and were instrumental in the development of the town. The page contains a link
to another page listing those buried in the Nisbet Cemetery, Town of Western, Oneida
County, New York.
