In the 1900 Census enumeration, this Andrew Jackson ROPER is shown to be born in March 1858 in Illinois. He shows the birthplace of both parents as "Virginia". Enumerated within his household are daughters Myrtle, age 14, and Emma, age 11, each born in Kentucky. See: "United States Census, 1900," index and images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/M9CS-NW5 : accessed 18 Apr 2014), Andrew J Roper, Magisterial District 4, Elkton (excl. Elkton city), Todd, Kentucky, United States; citing sheet 16A, family 291, NARA microfilm publication T623, FHL microfilm 1240552. This Andrew ROPER is also enumerated in Todd County, KY, in the 1930 and 1940 Census enumerations, giving his age as 72 in 1930 and 82 in 1940. In both 1930 and 1940, Andrew is shown to have been born in Tennessee to parents also born in Tennessee. In 1940, he is shown to reside within the household of his son Clyde ROPER, age 55, born in Kentucky. See: "United States Census, 1930," index and images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XMFB-861 : accessed 18 Apr 2014), Andrew J Roper, Elkton, Todd, Kentucky, United States; citing enumeration district (ED) 0009, sheet 7A, family 157, NARA microfilm publication T626, roll 778.
