ROPER, is the Lyle ROPER (b 03 Mar 1901 - OK, d Feb 1975 - Albuquerque, Bernalillo, NM) shown in the Social Security Death Index with SSN 525-03-7341 issued in NM. There seems to also be an obituary in the "Raton Range", Raton, NM, dating from 10 Jan 2004, for a Margaret Hay ROPER, age 93, born 06 Oct 1910, died 31 Dec 2003, which mentions a Lyle D. ROPER. I understand that there may also have been an obituary in the Albuquerque Journal on 01 Jan 2004. Is anyone acquainted with the family of this Lyle ROPER, of Albuquerque? Is this a descendant of: David ROPER (b 13 Nov 1744 - Charles City, VA, d 16 Apr 1808 - Charles City, VA) m Elizabeth --- Rev. David ROPER (b 27 Sep 1792 - Charles City County, VA, d 28 Feb 1827 - Richmond, VA) m Mary MILLER (b 1800, d 06 Sept 1844 - Richmond, Henrico, VA) Fredrick A. ROPER (b 1815 - Richmond, Henrico, VA, d abt 1835 - VA or MD) m Lethe A. CRAWFORD (b abt 1815 - Cumberland, MD) James Henry ROPER (b abt 1834 - VA) m May or Moy --- Charles ROPER (b abt 1865 - OH) I would be very interested in hearing from members of this family!
