Surnames: Roper Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/kgDBAEB/787.1 Message Board Post: After reviewing my notes, I realized that there is an additional John ROPER who appeared in the 1820 Census enumeration for Henrico, Virginia, but whose name is OMITTED from the Ancestry.com Index. This John ROPER appears on the page with page number imprinted "101", which page is shown at Image 32 of 52 at the Ancestry.com presentation of the 1820 Census data for this jurisdiction. At the TOP of this Census page is Edward SCOTT. John ROPER appears nearer the bottom of the page along with Rebecca REYNOLDS, Betsey REYNOLDS, and Thomas M. RANDOLPH. An additional section of "S" names appears thereafter. (Note: this enumeration is quasi-aphabetical, rather than based upon interview sequence.) John ROPER's 1820 Census record indicates: John ROPER: 0 - 2 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 1 -- 3 - 0 - 1 - 0 - 0 -- 0 - 1 - 0 - 1 -- 1 - 1 - 1 - 0 -- 0 - 2 - 0 - 0 -- 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 -- 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 So it appears that John ROPER was still in Henrico at least at the date of the 1820 Census enumeration and had still had five slaves in his household that year. * It seems most likely that the John ROPER, of Henrico, who was killed in 1820 was another different John ROPER, perhaps the son, age 16 to 25 shown in John ROPER's 1810 Census enumeration.
