Here is the 1880 listing: William Philipps, age 50, farmer Eliza Jane Philipps, age 44, wife, keeping house Mary J. Philippis, age 22, daughter, at home Larkin Roper, age 14, hired, laboring on farm Reason for my query: Larkin and his siblings had many Roper relatives living in the area and it is strange to me that all of them ended up living as hired hands in unrelated households after their mother died (their father had died several years earlier). So I've just been trying to find out a bit about the households in which they lived. Any insight at all would be appreciated. Thanks. David R David L.

In the 1880 census, one of my relatives, (William) Larkin Roper, age 14, is living with the household of William Phillips in the Vickerys Creek District of Foryth County. Larkin was an orphan, working as a hired hand. My question: Anybody know anything about William Phillips? He was one of the appraisers of the estate of Larkin's deceased mother. David Roper David L.

Georgia with wife,3 sons and daughter. He is in the 1850 Co. Census in Gilmer Co. The oldest son, am not sure who he is. I suspect that Robert Obriant is a possibiltiy- at least a cousin or uncle, the Robert that married Zelphia and later appears in Walton Co. Georgia. Robert was born about 1824. But Caleb's second son is James(born 1824-1830) and son Joseph(born 1832 and daughter Lucy born 1835 to 1840. Joseph married Jane Charles ( suspect Sarah J. Charles daughter of Melchezidec)1852 in Gilmer and Lucy married Corben Goble in Dec. 1860, Gilmer.------If you have any other sources for this family would be SO glad to hear. Thank you Joyce

I am a Gantt also looking for links to the family in Cherokee or elsewhere. My great, great, great grandfather Lewis and 3-4 sons left Forsyth for Cherokee. My great, great grandfather Bluford fought in the War Between the States in the 2nd Georgia calvary. He lost a leg at the knee. Lewis wanted Bluford to have the already established farm in Forsyth; therefore, the remainder of the family moved to Cherokee. To date l have little information beyond Internet sources. Please share. Thanks. P.S. Lewis was the first Gantt (spelled Gant then) in Forsyth County. His family goes back to Virginia where the family arrived in the 1600's from England.

I would be interested in this info. too, about the trial of Mr. Roper as I have some Ropers connected to my family in Edgefield Co., SC and to my husband's family in GA. I don't know where they were from for sure, so this might give me some hints. These are the families I have a very little about: 1 James M. ROPER b: Abt. 1836 in SC .. +Elizabeth DODD b: Abt. 1845 in GA d: Bef. 1901 Father: Elijah Dodd Mother: Mary Ann "Anna" Shore .... 2 James ROPER b: Abt. 1863 in GA .... 2 Susan ROPER b: Abt. 1868 in GA .... 2 Amanda ROPER b: Abt. 1872 in GA .... 2 Mary Jane ROPER b: Abt. 1878 in GA 1 Frances P.

DODD b: Abt. 1873 in GA .... 2 Perillse DODD b: Abt. 1876 in GA .... 2 Frendly DODD b: Abt. 1878 in GA Have proven the relationship between the two spouces as siblings, but do not know anything about the Roper family to show whetehr Frances and James M. are siblings, nor who their parents are. I also have some info. on Ropers who were in Edgefield Co. SC before this time. don't know if they connect to the same family, but note that the birth place of James M.

SC census: 1850 Edgefield Co., SC Census: A Nancy Coursey b. 1818 can be found living in the household with Julian Roper female age 50 Benjamin Roper 17, farmer, James 11 and John 9.
