Samuel ROPER (, Jr.) (b abt 1755-63), of Powhatan and later Chesterfield, DOES seem to have been Shadrach ROPER's son. But I ahve found NO RECORD of him after he moved from Chesterfield. * If you have some further primary evidence about ANY of the contemporaneous Samuel ROPERs who lived in the Federal period, I would be very appreciative of learning of it, either via e-mail OR by reply post to this thread OR the new thread identified above!
