Morning everyone! I am so glad to have found this group and am hoping there is someone here who might have some thoughts on my Roberts family. As you can see in the comment below, my husband shares Roberts' history and is looking for his Roberts and I am searching for mine. Eli Roberts was born around 1808 in North Carolina. He married Sophia Davis in 1832 in Knox, Illinois. They lived in Schuyler County, IL until between the 1870 and 1880 census, where they then show up in Ravenna Town, Fannin County, Texas. Prior to the marriage I have been unable to find any hint of Eli and who his parents are and how he came to meet Sophia. I am hoping someone here is also folloing that line and might have some great answers! Thanks!

Lori, My husband is looking for a Henry Roberts who was born around 1814 in Kentucky. Is there any chance that any of your "Henry Roberts" family would have been born in Kentucky around that time?

My Roberts line, as far back as I know it, was from Virginia (Culpeper County) ca 1670, then Pennsylvania, then Kentucky, and then Indiana.  My ancestor was Peter Henry Roberts.  His father was Henry Roberts and Henry had 5 brother, 4 of which served in the American Revolution.  Henry worked for the Colonies on legal matters and did not serve in the war.  Peter Henry Roberts married Sarah Hugh Bailey.  Anyone have any connections?

I am researching a John Roberts b. abt. 1800's from South Carolina. He married a Elizabeth "Betty " Redix. They later lived in Roane Co., TN. Their children were Milly, Jonathan, Almira and Elizabeth. If anyone could help, I'd really appreciate it. This family is one of my brick walls!

I have 2 separate Roberts Families. On my husband's side, his great-grandfather was Joshua Roberts (m Sarah Whatley) from the Palmetto Tyrone area. He was killed in the War between the States and left Satah with 3 boys, William Allen( GG-grandfather), Thomas Joshua, and John Franklin. His father is believed to be Avery Roberts and his wife was part Indian. Avery is believed to have been the son aj John ROberts who came to GA through SC.

On my side my great GGG-grandfather was Armstead Roberts( I believe his name was Hermann Armstead as one of his grandchildren was supposedly named after him). He married Mary D. Stephens in Jasper County GA in 1827, and they ended up in the Heard County GA/Randolph County AL area with a big farm and large family. Their daughter Mary married Charles Hearn and their daughter Nancy married my G-Grandfather Charlie Formby.

Would love to find relatives in either family.
