This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Roper, Manby, Jonas, Mitchell Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/kgDBAEB/177.1 Message Board Post: I am interested in the Ropers, and specifically in any record of Ann Roper. Ann had (at least) 2 daughters: Sarah Manby, dau by Edward Manby, and Mary Evans Jonas, dau by William Jonas, both bapt. 18 Mar 1819 (Sarh age 39 and Mary age 36) and each described as "a free qn"--ie, one white grandparent. I'm thinking Thomas Sr. is a likely candidate for Ann's father. Mary had a dau Emily Smith Mitchell, bapt. same date, b. 24 Jun 1818 and desc. as "a free mustee." Any clues will be moste gratefully received.
