While I believe that the Census data posted was correct, I also posted above the following: > "This Charles ROPER is shown to be the SON of Charles ROPER (b 19 Apr 1758 - > Dinwiddie, VA, d 1 Mar 1837 - Fork Inn, Dinwiddie, VA) and the grandson of Charles > and Ann Goodwyn ROPER." At the date of this post, I failed to realize the complete UNRELIABILITY of unsupported assertions appearing within Dave ROPER's ROPER Family History database. I know of NO PRIMARY information which supports an ascription of this Charles ROPER as the son of Charles ROPER (b 19 Apr 1758 - Dinwiddie, VA, d 1 Mar 1837 - Fork Inn, Dinwiddie, VA). NEITHER am I aware of ANY data which would support the ascription of this Charles ROPER as a son of James C. ROPER, another ascription for which there seems to be no actual primary supporting data. In my view, the most promising CANDIDATE to be a parent of this Charles ROPER is the Ann ROPER found residing in Northampton County, NC, who is mentioned along with Charles ROPER in Angelica LEWIS' Will. This is NOT an ascription, but rather a REPUDIATION of the erroneous and unsupported ascription given in the earlier post and a suggested more promising avenue of inquiry. I APOLOGIZE to members of the Stewart ROPER family and others for previously republishing the false information which has previously appeared in Dave ROPER's databases. I have long since learned my lesson and now KNOW not to rely on any of the assertions therein. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
