Menifee Roberts was a son of Henry M. (Harry) Roberts and his first wife, Ann Duncan, a daughter of George Duncan and his first wife Elizabeth Redmon. Menifee Roberts was married to Polly Ann Muffett, daughter of Benjamin Muffett and Elizabeth B. Duncan (coincidentally she was the second wife of Henry M. Roberts), and they were the parents of 8 children before she died in 1866. menifee Roberts was still living in 1870. Does anybody have any additional information about when he died, what happened to his children (I have some, but not near all), and who the parents of Henry M. Roberts were??? I have suspicions about his father (no clue about his mother), but can't even come close to proving it.
