Surnames: Roper Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/kgDBAEB/756 Message Board Post: I would be interested in hearing from anyone who is descended from Henry Roper , born 1822 in Sheffield England. Henry married Mary Ann Grayson. They emigrated to the USA, joined the Mormon faith and eventually settled in Utah. My earliest known ancestor is Henry Roper, born 1702 in Cromford, Derbyshire, England, younger brother of Thomas born c1695 I've reason to believe that Henry the Mormon was descended from Thomas.
