This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: waroper Surnames: Roper, Yates Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.roper/1851.1.1.3/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Frank: In am running back through the messages in this thread to flag what I view as unsourced, speculative assertions for which there is no supporting evidence. You stated: > "Also, this David Roper is generally considered to be the son of > David Roper and Sarah Yates." While I readily recognize that the Internet is awash in an ocean of unsourced, speculative garbage about the ROPER family, I am NOT aware of any primary support for this assertion. I think someone made it up, ascribed an invented marriage date and the foolishness then went viral. If you know of some support for this assertion, I would appreciate learning of it. I am aware of NO EVIDENCE that Meredith ROPER was a son of David ROPER. And I am aware of NO EVIDENCE that David ROPER married a Sarah YATES.
