Author: waroper Surnames: Roper, Adams, Masters, Goodwyn Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.roper/52.70/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Michael: For the benefit of yourself and all other descendants of William and Susan ROPER, of Forsyth, GA, I want to apologize for being far too quick to accept unsupported ascriptions and for republishing information from the Dave ROPER's ROPER Family History files without verifying the underlying data! My recent original research on the Edgefield ROPER families now seems to have rather conclusively established that William ROPER, of Forsyth, GA, was the son of Daniel ROPER and Elizabeth ADAMS. The Elizabeth MASTERS shown in William ROPER's 1850 Census record was NOT Susan ROPER's mother, as everyone seems to have been supposing, but rather William's widowed mother, who had remarried Thomas MASTERS after the untimely death of her first husband Daniel. The correct information is given within my thread: "Daniel ROPER (b 22 Mar 1785, d 17 Jul 1819 - Edgefield, SC), of Edgefield, SC" (25 Mar 2014 1:58PM) http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.roper/1880/mb.ashx You and others interested in this ROPER family may want to correct your various lineages accordingly. You seem to be from the family of Charles ROPER and Ann GOODWYN as shown within other of my recent posts concerning the Edgefield ROPER families.
