CHildren shown are Sloan, age 10, RObert Lee, age 6, and Amanda, age 3. All of these were born in KY, EXCEPT for Amanda, suggesting that Dutoy moved to TN between 1864 and 1867.

NOTE 5: In 1870, there are three additional households which appear to have the surname of either ROSS or ROP, which are ON THE SAME Moscow page as teh family of Elam ROPER. These households are headed by Ruben ROSS/ROP, age 48; William ROSS/ROP, age 46; and John ROSS/ROP. All were born in Tennessee. These records bear further scrutiny.

I am working on a family movie and website which includes my grandmother Ida Roper who was born in Cedar Glades Arkansas 6-18-1876.

Surnames: Roper Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/kgDBAEB/706.2.1 Message Board Post: One candidate ROPER couple which might meet the specifications I set forth in the Post above is William ROPER (b Oct 1872 - MO) and Anne ROPER (b Mar 1881 - AR), of Ozark Township, Polk County, Arkansas, who are shown in the 1900 Census enumeration to have been married two years (surely Anne must have been expecting). This couple has NO CHILDREN in 1900. And I cannot find this William ROPER in the 1910 Census enumeration. * Please bear in mind that I am NOT asserting a belief that these are the parents of Freeman ROPER, but giving this couple as an illustration of the kinds of couples that might be identified for further scrutiny. It is at least convenient that the 1900 Census, which will be our most helpful online tool, give both month and year of birth. My guess is that we can find four or five similar couples in Okhlahoma, Arkansas and possibly Texas and that one of these candidate couples will ultimately proved to be Freeman ROPER's parents.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Roper Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/kgDBAEB/706.2 Message Board Post: It occurs to me that it bears mention that since Freeman ROPER is the ONLY ROPER in the Samuel WILLIAMS household in 1910, it generally follows that he most likely has no YOUNGER sisters or brothers, or if he does, they are either dead or, in the case of a sister, already married. Given that Freeman is age 19, I would speculate that AT MOST he might have one surviving younger sister who is married, but even this seems unlikely. Given the regularity that children appeared in those days, I would take the absence of other younger siblings to mean that Freeman ROPER's FATHER probably died within one to three years of his birth. Moreover, if Freeman has an OLDER BROTHER, by age 19 I suspect that he would probably choose to live and work with that brother rather than with his stepfather (particularly if BOTH parents were dead). I believe that we can reasonably infer that Freeman probably had no surviving older brothers and probably had no older sister either. In short, it is probably most likely that Freeman ROPER was an ONLY CHILD, or had at most one or two sisters very close to himself in age. Again, given the regularity with which children appeared in those days, I would say that it is most likely that Freeman ROPER's father and mother married no more than one to three years prior to his birth and that his father died within one to three years after his birth. So we are looking for a ROPER couple residing somewhere near McCurtin County, OK, possibly in Arkansas, who married sometime about 1898-1900, with the ROPER father passing away by 1901-1904. * Another corrolary of these circumstances is that it is HIGHLY UNLIKELY that there is going to be another ROPER who is personally acquainted with this family's situation in 2004. There aren't likely to be others descended from the ROPER we seek and the family was intact only long enough to produce Freeman ROPER!

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Roper, Williams, Peoples, Groom, Petty Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/kgDBAEB/706.1 Message Board Post: Is this Freeman ROPER still living?? If not, when and where did he die? * * * I would point out that the 1910 Census record for Samuel C. and Annie WILLIAMS shows that as of 1910 Samuel was in his FIRST MARRIAGE ("M1") and Annie WILLIAMS was in her SECOND MARRIAGE ("M2"). Samuel and Annie WILLIAMS seem to have been married for FOUR YEARS by 1910 (married about 1906). But Annie WILLIAMS also showed in this same Census record that she had only THREE (3) CHILDREN of whom only TWO (2) are shown to be living. And then the record gives sons William WILLIAMS, age 3, and Sam WILLIAMS, age 2, each born in Oklahoma. So on its face, the information in this 1910 Census record seems to preclude the possibility that Annie Groom WILLIAMS is Freeman ROPER's Mother. * Also, I would take exception with your representation that Samuel C. WILLIAMS was born in Arkansas. I read the 1920 Census record as saying that Samuel was born in OKLAHOMA. Moreover, and more importantly, I read the record to say that Freeman ROPER was born in OKLAHOMA to a Father born in the US and a Mother Born in OKLAHOMA. Also, Parilee WILLIAMS, age 1, was born in Oklahoma to a Father Born in Oklahoma and Mother born in MISSOURI. It would therefore appear to me that the children Rachel PEOPLES, May PEOPLES, William PEOPLES and Mary PEOPLES are children of Frances Jane PETTY. The youngest child Parilee WILLIAMS also must be a child of Frances Jane PETTY. Samuel, Frank and Minnie WILLIAMS must be children of Samuel Cleveland WILLIAMS and Annie GROOM. It seems most unlikely that Freeman ROPER is actually a son of Samuel Cleveland WILLIAMS, bith as a consequence of the difference in surname and the fact that the birthplace of the Father is shown as "US". The person giving the information DOES NOT KNOW where Freeman ROPER's father was born. And Freeman ROPER's mother cannot reasonably be Frances Jane PETTY, as she was born in MISSOURI, but Freeman's mother was born in OKLAHOMA. * One possibility is that there might have been another intervening wife BETWEEN Annie GROOM and Frances Jane PETTY. While we are INCLINED to think that Annie Groom WILLIAMS was the mother of Frank and Minnie, the mother could also have been a heretofore unidentified intervening wife who was also born in Oklahome. You do NOT mention having a date of death (or divorce) of Annie Groom WILLIAMS. I would be inclined to tighten up this detail FIRST. Also, it would appear that Frances Jane PETTY was married to a Mr. PEOPLES at the date of the 1910 Census enumeration. Do you know the first name of Mr. PEOPLES. This would be helpful in locating a 1910 Census record AND helping to identify a date of death and possibly a Will for this Mr. PEOPLES. I would try to obtain copies of BIRTH CERTIFICATES of Frank and Minnie WILLIAMS to ascertain with a higher degree of certainty the name of their mother. And I would try to obtain a birth certificate of at least one of the PEOPLES children to determine or verify the name of the father.

My aunt Margaret married a man by the name of Gentry, so it is possible he was related to the Gentrys mentioned.

Incidentally, the is a ROPER DNA Project administered by Dr. L. David ROPER. It would probably be helpful to have a test subject from a ROPER-surnamed male from this family.

From the ages and places of birth of the children in the 1870 Census record, we may reasonably infer that William ROPER came to Georgia from South Carolina between 1843 and 1845. Larkin ROPER (b abt Jan-Feb 1850 - Forsyth County, GA) appears in the Census records either within the household of or alongside his father in 1850, 1860, and 1870, as well. Some secondary sources show two daughters names Rosilee and Malissa. It appears to me from these Census records that this is the SAME child named Malissa Rosilee ROPER. Susan Masters ROPER is clearly already deceased by 1880. One secondary source shows her date of death as 07 Mar 1879. I have NOT verified this information, but it appeasrs to be consistent and is probably reliable.
