ROPER's 1850 Census record, he is shown to be residing with a younger George W. ROPER, age 26 (b abt 1824), Mary ROPER, age 22, Moody L. ROPER, age 21, and Lutitia WILKERSON, age 29. George, Mary and Moody are shown to be born in Tennessee. Lutitia is shown to be born in Georgia. See: "United States Census, 1850," index and images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MC6Q-8KP : accessed 18 Apr 2014), George W Roper in household of George W Roper, Williamson county, Williamson, Tennessee, United States; citing family 831, NARA microfilm publication M432. * There is a George W. ROPER, age 49 (b abt 1821), enumerated with Lettitia ROPER, age 53, residing in Kirkmansville, Todd County, KY, in the 1870 Census. George is shown to be born in Tennessee and Lettitia ROPER is shown to be born in South Carolina. See: "United States Census, 1870," index and images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-267-11600-180361-49?cc=1438024 : accessed 18 Apr 2014), Kentucky > Todd > Kirkmansville > image 1 of 24; citing NARA microfilm publication M593. * This seems to be the same couple enumerated in Todd County, Kentucky in 1860. That year, George ROPER was shown to be age 37 (b abt 1823) and born in Tennessee, while Lettitia is shown only as "L. ROPER", age 45, born South Carolina. There are no children in this household. See: "United States Census, 1860," index, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MZBC-HBW : accessed 18 Apr 2014), George Roper, , Todd, Kentucky, United States; citing "1860 U.S. Federal Census - Population," Fold3.com; p. 112, household ID 789, NARA microfilm publication M653; FHL microfilm 803396. * George and Lettitia ROPER seem to have been enumerated in the 1860 Census twice. There is a second record showing a "G. W. ROPER", age 37 (b abt 1823), and an "L ROPER", age 35, both shown to be born in Tennessee. See: "United States Census, 1860," index, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MZBC-PMW : accessed 18 Apr 2014), L Roper in household of G W Roper, , Todd, Kentucky, United States; citing "1860 U.S. Federal Census - Population," Fold3.com; p. 149, household ID 1048, NARA microfilm publication M653; FHL microfilm 803396. Since this couple didn't seem to have any children, they are a bit of a genealogical dead end, but still increase the confidence of our ascription that Elizabeth Roper Sullivan HAGER, who also settled in Todd County, KY, was George W. ROPER's daughter. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
