Surnames: ROPER, STEBBINS, GIBBS Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/BZB.2ACI/786 Message Board Post: I am searching for information on John Roper (son of Nathaniel Roper and Naomi Gibbs), his wife and descendants. According to the history of Lake Co., Ohio John Roper was one of the very earliest settlers of the area that later became Lake Co. John was born circa 1780. It is believed that John and his wife Flavia both died in Painesville. I believe, but have yet to prove, his children were all born in Chardon, Ohio. The known children of John and Flavia are: Almena, Emeline, John, Rudolphus, and Marcena. Any information at all on this family would be greatly appreciated. Constance
