Roberts Date: 30 Nov 2000 10:09 AM GMT Email: The information was givin by Alma Roberts Crapes Prentiss. She is a descendent of the first James Irvin Roberts. I have communicated with Vina, via email. The information comes from a book of over 350 Roberts and is consistant with the documents of the family in both Polk County and SC. I do showthat James Roberts along with others was born 11/21/1784, first son of James Henry Roberts and that he is burried as aare other Roberts' aat Mt. Zion, Swift Creek Cemetary. I do not have a reference for his mother, but his wife is Temperence and I have seen her grave many times since a small chile and most recently a few weeks ago. He had 5 chilren, most burried at Mt Olive as you suggest, but William, of which I am from is burried at Green Pond, the oldest Jame Brice, buried in SC

GOD BLESS AMERICA! Hello! i am trying to identify the "book" referenced in this posting by judy crabb roberts - that contains info on rev. pierre robert... do you know which book has info on this family?? or anyone that is actively researching this family?? thank you for your time & assistance!! gail harris Posted By: Judy Crabb Roberts Email: Subject: Re: ROBERTS > TN >SC Post Date: May 26, 1999 at 14:06:04 Rev. Pierre Robert was b.1656, St Imier, Switzerland (son of Daniel b,1630, Aberystwyth, Wales) was a Huguenot preacher. He married (not a Rebecca)but Jeanne Braye, b. 1660, Basil, Switzerland. Rev. Pierre Robert along with his wife and his followers sailed to America, landing in 1686 at Charlestown, SC. They lived in St. James, French Santee, SC. In 1706 Rev. Pierre founded the first Huguenot Church at Charlestown, French Santee, SC. There were 2 entrances to the church, one for the English and one for the French. Rev Pierre and his wife Jeanne Braye Robert had three sons, Jean (John), Elias, and Pierre Jr. Rev. Pierre Robert died in 1715 and Jeanne died abt. 1717. I descend from their son Jean (John) Robert. It was Jean who changed his name to the American *John* and also added the *s* to Robert. Pierre Jr., kept the Robert name without the *s* This family is well documented.I have a copy of the old Huguenot Book from the Huguenot Society that gives all the information for this family. I also have photo's of the original Church at St. James,French Santee, One of the earliest settlements in SC. and refuge for French Huguenots. St. James, Santee Parish was a major agricultural area containing a number of large scale rice plantations. At nearby Peach Tree Plantation, Jonathan Lucas, Sr. introduced a water mill for beating rice around 1787, which gave an impetus to rice culture in the area. I also have a photo of the only Independent Huguenot Church in the US in Charleston, SC. that contains a commemorative plaque for Pasteur Pierre Robert.

Reference: A Welcome and Request From All Genealogy Researchers Hello, My name is Eleanor Richardson. I am the Co-Administrator of the University of South Florida Africana Heritage Project. We are a joint project of the Africana Studies and Anthropology departments at USF. Our researchers travel to transcribe records from archives, libraries and county records, before they are lost to history. Our mission is to rediscover precious records, documenting former slaves, and to make those records available, on a free public access, Internet site. Our website design is now in the final proof stage, and we are building our database. We anticipate being live at www.africanaheritage.com within the next month. We are, and always will be, 100% free to the researcher and a nonprofit, organization. We expressly forbid the use of records in our database for profit. Our terms and use conditions are identical to those of USGenWeb and Rootsweb. We gratefully acknowledge each contributor and treat each record as the precious historical document that it is. The copyright, of course, remains with you, the contributor. Our largest focus is within the genealogical community. We recognize that the majority of the records that mention slaves have actually been discovered by people researching their own ancestry. So many people have these records, and wish to share them, but are not sure how, or where. We will provide a record submission form directed to our searchable database and powerful meta-search engine. Researchers will also be able to browse the record collection. Another of our goals is to gather information from the Internet to centralize as many records as possible. To that end, we frequently write to people who have generously shared records on the Internet, and ask them for permission to include their records in our searchable database. We have had tremendous success with this approach. Some people even send us more records, after we write to ask permission to use a particular record that they have posted! To date, we have gathered more than four thousand individual records. We have already obtained written permission from many people and Websites to use Wills, Slave Schedules, Manumission Records, Ship Manifests, Church Records, Cemetery Records, Census Records, Family Bibles, Personal Narratives, etc. We are especially interested in exploring new ways to place new archive records online, while still respecting the copyright laws. We have many other sources and resources available. For the last year, our undergraduate and graduate students have been working to glean slave names and information from the Records of Antebellum Plantations, from the Revolution through the Civil War, microfilm series, ed. by Kenneth Stampp. USF owns the entire two hundred-plus microfilm reel series. We glean slave lists from these microfilms, then add background research on the slaveowners' migrations and family history. As you can see, we will not be working ourselves out of a job anytime soon! We wanted to drop you a line to let you know that we are proud to add our voices to yours in our common mission, to preserve our heritage for generations to come. Please consider us a ready resource, if we can ever assist your project in any way. I would like to extend a cordial invitation to you, to visit our new Website, explore, post and share information, if you will. (We hope to be live within a month.) Kindest Regards, Eleanor Richardson rich1735@bellsouth.net P.S. My roots are from South Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia and The New Netherlands (Manhattan Island).
