Surnames: Sewell/Roper Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2R.2ADE/173.298.767.1.1 Message Board Post: Margaret, I have found nothing so far on the Ropers, I knowshe married my GGGrandfather Clark Sewell (that is recorded in an old family Bible I have). That is really interesting about the Cherokee Indian line, I had never heard that before. That means Pheribee Ropers line was Cherokee if it is true? I have checked the Monroe County Ga. Census for the years 1830 and 1840 but found no Ropers. Clark and Pheribee were married in 1836 in Monroe county so they should have been on one of them. I may have to make a trip to Monroe cty. I haven't even found where Pheribee was buried or when she died.....any info on that?
