Surnames: ROBERTSON Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/XCB.2ACI/410.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Hello. I am also looking for information on the Robertson family. I am getting absolutely nowhere! I think I found a land grant for a James Lafayette Robertson at this website http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/PatentSearch/ Just do a search of James Robertson in LA and several will come up. Two are in Caddo and Bossier Parishes. James Lafayette Robertson was granted a land patent in 1874. There is also a James H. Robertson that was issued at patent in 1854. I believe one of these men is my great great grandfather, but I am not sure which one. All I know about my g g grandfather is that his name was James. His children were: Reuben T. born 1890 Euin Elvis (my great grandpa) born 1882 Jewel born ?? died 1939 Willie Mae born 1884 I am thinking James H. is my gggrandfather because one of Euin E.'s children is named James Harold. This is just a hunch. If you have any information about either of these James Robertsons, it would be greatly appreciated!
