Posted on: Pike County, Al Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Al/Pike/12088 Surname: Roberts, Walther ------------------------- Hi Annette, Let me preface this by stating that much of what I'm about to share concerning the 2nd, 3rd and 4th sons of John A. Roberts is not proven, but is speculation based upon my observations of the records. I am wide open to other suggestions and evidence. Also, may the board please forgive me if this post is too long! I think it is possible that your Thomas was brother to the John W. you spoke of, and they were sons of John A. and Margaret Roberts. I also believe that John A. did have a brother named William. I believe that both John A. and William Roberts came to Russell Co., AL, around 1840. William may have soon died, and his widow and entire family went to Georgia by 1850, following one of the sons-in-law. All of William's children were born in SC. John's children were born in GA. I believe that my John A. was the one listed in Burke Co., GA, for 1820, 1830 and 1840. The 1840 census showed an incomplete household and I then picked them up in the 1840 Russell Co., AL census. It was almost as though they were in transit, with some remaining behind for some reason. They arrived in Russell Co. about 1840, but had removed to Pike Co, AL by 1850. By 1853, John Sr., had moved to Santa Rosa Co., FL. John W. was a proven son of John A., and he was born in 1814 in GA. He married Nancy Fortune in Russell Co., and settled in Pike Co, as did his sister, Margaret, who married Jesse Hyatt. Then, the three Roberts men who settled in Coffee Co., Thomas, 1818, Daniel 1822, William H., 1822, were all born in GA. Thomas and Daniel married the Garrison sisters. The next PROVEN child of John, Sr. was Margaret, born in 1824, so you see there was a wide space between John A. and Margaret, definitely allowing space for those three in Coffee Co. Common given names of their children link those three to each other, as well as to their possible father - John A. Thomas used the same names for his sons as did father John A., including one named William H. (See the list below). More facts: In the Russell County Marriage Book, a Dan Roberts was given as the bondsman for a marriage in 1842. John A. Roberts was also living there at the time. My gg-gf, George Walther who married John A. Roberts' daughter, Nancy, applied for a homestead in 1853, in Santa Rosa Co., FL. In an affidavit, William H. Roberts swore that he had known George Walther since 1843, which would have placed them both in Russell Co. where John A. Roberts lived. That is also the approximate year that William, Thomas and Daniel moved from Georgia to Alabama, according to the birthplaces and ages of their children. Census for John A. Roberts, who was in the 1850 Pike Co., AL census: 1820 Burke Co., Georgia 3 males, under 10 1 female, under 10 1 male, 16-18 1 male, 16-26 1 female, 16-26 Was this an extra couple, and maybe a child or two is theirs? 1 male, 26-45 1 female, 26-45 John A. and wife? 4 female slaves This census matches John A.'s family, up to that date, if Josiah was born after the census was taken: 1830 Burke Co., Georgia 1 male, 0-5 2 females, 0-5 Nancy and ? 1 male, 5-10 1 female, 10-15 ? 1 male, 10-15 1 female, 30-40 The mother 1 male, 15-20 2 female slaves 1 male, 40-50 father 1 male slave 1840 Burke Co., Georgia John A. Roberts???? 1 male, 10-15 1 female, 10-15 1 male, 15-20 1 female slave 1 male, 40-50 Are these two 1840 Roberts the same John A. Roberts? I think so. The 1840 Burke Co. John is missing some of the 1830 family members. 1830 Burke and 1840 Russell match better than the 1830 Burke and the 1840 Burke censuses. Could maybe the mother be pregnant, with the child born in 1840 and they sent her on ahead of time in order for the baby to be born after her move? I believe there was a brother of John A. already living in Russell County. 1840 Russell Co, Alabama John A. Roberts 1 male, 0-5 1 female, 0-5 1 male, 5-10 1 female, 10-15 3 males, 10-15 1 female, 15-20 1 male, 40-50 1 female, 30-40 1 male, 60-70 (a father of John or Margaret?) The Children of John A.

Posted on: Pike County, Al Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Al/Pike/12085 Surname: roberts, gregory, jeffcoat, messick, butts ------------------------- My great grandfather was John Wesley Roberts , but not this one. His father was Thomas Roberts, born Nov.1818 in Georgia. I believe his father was william..not positive. My question is : Do you have a siblings list for your Jonn W. Roberts? There are so many coincidences in your information , that point to my family. My Roberts ancestors came to Ala. , from Georgia between 1841 and 1853. They first lived in Covington Co. and later in Pike co. All my Roberts family lived half way between Troy and Luvern , Al.....(5 to 10 miles west of Troy) I have an idea that your John might be a brother to my Thomas, who married Eliza Garrison. My Mom always told that some of our people drove a stage between Troy and Montgomery, but I had had always thought it was from the Messick or Butts side. We've always heard mention of an "Andra" Garner....probably Andrew. If you have any info about John W.'s siblings or ancestry, please , please post it. I also have a photo of a Della Redmon,from long ago, if she sounds familiar to you. I bought it at a thrift shop, and would love to get her back to her family.

Posted on: Pike County, Al Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Al/Pike/12080 Surname: Hanchey ------------------------- My best guess is that Mary Elizabeth's parents are James Hanchey and Martha E. Spencer, who were married in Pike County on September 30, 1841 by James' brother William Hanchey (my ancestor). According to the 1850 Pike County census, James and Martha had a 1-year old daughter named Mary. That's pretty close to the age of your Mary Elizabeth. There were five Hanchey brothers. I was unable to find any child of any of the others with the right name and age. Since I posted my original message, I came across a wonderful book (long out of print) on the Hanchey family. If you think James and Martha might be the people you are looking for, I can send you more information.
