I do NOT recall seeing you mention the name of John ROPER's wife. When you examined the images of the extant deed records, did any of these show the identity of the wife releasing her dower interest in land being sold? * Also, do you have any theory as to the identity of the unnamed daughter of William LEA discussed within my separate thread "ROPER Grandchildren of William LEA (d 1794 - GA), of Wilkes County, GA": "ROPER Grandchildren of William LEA (d 1794 - GA), of Wilkes County, GA" (10 Apr 2014 2:09PM) http://boards.ancestry.com.au/surnames.roper/1893/mb.ashx Possibilities would seem to include either David ROPER, of Caswell, Revolutionary War Veteran George ROPER, of Caswell, James ROPER, of Caswell, John ROPER (b bef. 1756) and William ROPER (b. bef. 1759). Charles ROPER and Ann GOODWYN's son David ROPER (who might have been one of the David ROPERs at Caswell) would also seem to be a candidate, given that he is known to have a son named William ROPER and a daughter named Sarah ROPER. You insight into where William LEA's daughter fits into the family is appreciated! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
