There appears to be no evidence in the Census records that William and Susan Master ROPER had any children following Larkin. Secondary sources show that the Jesse ROPER, age 7/12 in 1850, and Larkin ROPER, age 10 in 1860, were the same child: Jesse Larkin ROPER. Larkin ROPER appears again in the 1880 Census residing at Vickerys Creek, Forsyth, Georgia. Larkin's father William ROPER is also residing in his HH in 1880.
