Brenda & Linda, this is what little I have on my John Corwin Roberts who lived in Montgomery Co., IL Irving. .I don't know that much about my Browns in IL. There were 4 of the same generation that moved from Knox or Marion Co., TX three boys & one sister & her husband, Washington Fleming. With them they brought their Roberts cousins Mary, John Corwin, Nancy & Peter, all had become orphans in 1836 when their father John Roberts had died in Marion Co., TN. John Roberts had been b: in March 1791. I have his orphan bond to a Beriah Frazier.to learn reading, writing & cyphering. John had married Alice Brown in Knox Co., TN in 1813. Beriah Fraizer was his Bondsman.. She was the daughter of John & Alice Nodding Brown from MD I didn't know that so many of the Browns had come to Montgomery Co until a short time ago. What I need is info on them in Montgomery Co and where they moved...both Browns & Roberts. I've got some more info, but lets see if we make a match. Mary Roberts never married. There is some reason that she may have been "feeble minded".. Nancy Jane married Wilburn Isaac s/o Samuel Wilburn. & Peter married 1st, Tarquina Ann Newcomb. They lived in Nokomas After Tarquina died he married Lydia Christain. They had 6 children, all moved to TX when the family moved I think abt. 1890. He had 4 children with Tarquina...all died young. I would love to exchange info with you. Please write to me privately at ejthomas@i1.net Tiss Tiss
