Hi Barbara, This is the first I've seen of the Mr. and Mrs. John ROBERTS, Jr. who moved in a wagon train to Seward Co., Nebraska with my relatives. Unfortunately, I do not have my hands on that whole book yet, just the article so far. So no, I have nothing more about them YET. However, let's keep in touch as I continue to research Seward Co. There is a lot of information available about the early pioneers of that county, including biographies, photos, and cemetery inscriptions, some online at Rootsweb. I will be going, I hope, to Seward on a research trip this fall, and will try to keep your question in mind. It wouldn't hurt to remind me once in a while, though! Were your Roberts in Fulton Co.? I could use a few of their names to help me watch for their namesakes in Seward Co. Thanks, Alice > >Do you have any more information on Mr& Mrs. John Roberts Jr.?
