Surnames: Roth Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HJEBAIB/756.1 Message Board Post: I have no information relative to a Webster Tyler Roth, but my great-grandfather, David Roth, settled in Bureau County in the 1840's. His brother, Leonard, was the first to migrate to Illinois around 1834. David came out to Illinois from New York with his mother, Mary, and brother, Solomon and began purchasing land in the mid-1840s. Both David and Leonard married in Bureau County. Most of the family settled in LaMoilles, Illinois and most of David's children, including my grandfather, Charles, were born there. David Roth eventually moved to Hinsdale, IL in the 1870's. Don't know if this helps, but there may be some connections.
