However, I wanted to call your express attention to the fact that the William ROPER shown in the 1790 Census Index is actually a William ROSSER. This can be seen by a careful analysis of the handwriting and comparing to handwriting as shown in other records. See my recent post: "The Chatham, NC, Families Seem To Be ROSSERs or ROSSONs" (14 May 2014 7:40PM GMT) http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.roper/519.2/mb.ashx Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
