I had a different David Roper in mind when I said that. Of course, you have documented that David Roper, who married Sally Stell, is most likely the son of Joel Roper, son of Charles and Ann Goodwyn. You have done a good job of critiquing my post on John Roper and Sophia Clacker, and what turns out to be my non responsive reply to your post, which I unfortunately misinterpreted. However, rather than going back and trying to clean up the mess, I think it best to reply to your post of August 23, 2014 titled "Did Meredith Roper Have Any Children". Notwithstanding what Dave Roper might, in your opinion, profess, I think that you and I have separate paradigms for the lineages of Charles Roper, d. 1792, Dinwiddie, VA, Meredith Roper, and David Roper of Caswell, NC. So I will attempt to carefully explain my position and, in the process, hopefully respond to the questions in your last series of critiques, However, this may take me a week to compose.
