This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Roper, Moore, Jones, Seaborne Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/kgDBAEB/814.1 Message Board Post: Leading ROPER genealogists and other persons using this Board are researching ROPER lines from the 1500s though the present. ROPERs have been marrying MOOREs (MOREs) since at least the 1521. (See http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/13183a.htm and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Roper . See also http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/ho/08/euwb/ho_50.69.2.htm ). I have found JONES adjacent to ROPERs in almost every location from Kent England to Virginia and Maryland and thereafter throughout America. This has been the subject of more than one prior Post. SEABORNE is the family name of the wife of Christopher ROPER, the 2nd Baron Teynham. SEABORNEs were transported to America by John YATES about the same year Captain William ROPER settled at Accomack (1633). Thereafter, SEABORNEs are found in the same South River parish as William ROPER in Anne Arundel, Maryland (late 1600s). It would be very helpful to have some more precise TIME FRAMES for at least several of those noted. Can you give us an approximate date of birth, marriage or death for one or more of those cited? Also can you help us by fixing at least a PLACE where some of these moght be found at various times? Giving some additional precise details will enable others to get a little traction in identifying the ROPERs of interest to you!
