Author: waroper Surnames: Roper Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.roper/28.173/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Pleasant Yewell ROPER was the son of Francis Yewell ROPER (b 16 Sep 1813) and the grandson of John ROPER (b 08 Jan 1788 - NC, d Oct 1863) and Nancy (b 18 Oct 1792, d 05 Apr 1845). This John ROPER has been erroneously or fraudulently connected by some researchers to a possilby fictitious "William John ROPER" who is represented to have been born in Fauquier County, VA, though there seems to be no evidence that any such person ever existed. See my thread: "John ROPER (b 08 Jan 1788 - NC, d Oct 1863), of Greene and Pulaski Counties, Missouri" (19 Apr 2014 9:58PM GMT) http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.roper/1899/mb.ashx Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
