Hello all, I live in Greensboro and occassionally get to the local public library in High point which has a fantastic collection of resources for this area - Rockingham Co. included. I will be glad to look up stuff for you if you are not in a rush. I only get out once or twice a month. Also I work at the LDS FHC here so also have access to the census etc. I have the 1790 thru 1820 censuses at hand (copies) and will be glad to look up. Joyce Hibberts Greensboro, NC

Dear, Joyce- You must be one of those Angels that come along now and then? I would appreciate it if you would jot down the following name and birth date somewhere: John Winstead ROBERTS born- Dec. 21, 1808 If you come across anything you think might be relevant in your travels, please email me. I've been searching for info about the parents of my Great Great Grand Daddy above for 46 years (on and off), so there is never a hurry. I have access to all the Federal Census rolls here back to 1790. All I know about John Winstead ROBERTS is he married in Bedford County, Tennessee to a Mary Montgomery BLAGG on Sept. 1, 1833. And there is a John Roberts and a John W. Roberts logged in the Cotton Jin ledger of a Phillips man in Bedford County, TN aorund 1834-1835. I know Mary M. BLAGG was born on the Cumberland Gap going to Tennessee from (probably) Rockingham County, NC about January 10, 1807. I know her parents were William BLAGG and Sina Knight of Rockingham County, and their parents were Caleb BLAGG and Thomas KNIGHT/Sarah Elizabeth Simpson. The BLAGGs and KNIGHTs are listed in Rockingham County in the Salisbury District on page 167 of 1790 Census. (They spelled Thomas Knight's surname Night) There also is an Elizabeth ROBERTS as Head of Household, but this is 1790 before John W. Roberts was born. In the 1800 Census of Rockingham County, NC there is a William BLAGG with a female (26-45) that I believe is Sina Knight Blagg on page 647. There are four Roberts Haed of households listed in 1800 Rockingham: Thomas, page 650; James, page 654; and Naman and Eliza both on page 668. I havn't checked the 1810 Census NC yet because each time I tried it was checked out by someone else, but I will eventually. I'm pretty sure I'll find several ROBERTS Heads of Households all over NC in 1810 and they might give me a lot of work in a process of elimination. I know everything possible to know about my John W. ROBERTS line after he went up the Mississippi and the Missouir Rivers and settled down in Ray County, MO on a farm near Richmond, MO in Grape Grove (Later called Millville) and had children from May 1836 to Oct 1846 and died in 1847. If there is anything to some family Naming Traditions of those days, I mention his first boy child was named Thomas and the second was a Henry. His last child, a Mary WINSTEAD, was given the same middle name of WINSTEAD, so there might be a connection to the surname WINSTEAD, but I can't say what it is yet. Thanks for your time. Stay warm. Stay well.
