My ancestor was Joseph Roberts also b. abt. 1814 S.C., he named sons George Washington Roberts, John Bethel Roberts, Charles M. Breaker Roberts, (named after J.M.C. Breaker pastor of Greenville Baptist Church in 1848), and Joseph's last son was named James Desire Roberts. The name Desire was his maternal grandfather's name. Joseph Roberts was in Marengo Co., Al. by Feb. 1834 and was there until his death bet.1857-60. I have some more names I would like to share with you of people that might be Joseph's siblings. Please feel free to email me. Helen
