Joseph married Pearl Washburn on February 27, 1901 in Franklin County, Kentucky. Worth Roberts and wife Amanda Unknown lived in Henry County, Kentucky. Worth died sometime before 1880 since he is not in the 1880 census. Amanda remarried Humphrey Washburn on October 2, 1881; they had a child named Otis Washburn.

Mr Standingbear, you have made some interesting points here. You know what? We ARE ignorant of a lot of the lives and customs of people who are not part of our families. I certainly don't know nearly as much about the ugly and despicable "Trail of Tears" as I should know, even though there are Cherokees (as well as Ottawas) in my family, and I'd bet that you don't know a whole lot about my Irish who were forced out of Ireland or my English who were forced to leave Yorkshire or my Germans who had to flee Germany. What can you teach us about your ways? What can you tell us about the terribleness of the "Trail of Tears"? What can you tell us about the other events that have made you so angry... especially angry toward the whole white peoples? Even if you were to answer this email and talk only to me, I would love to hear what you can teach me.
