Roberts. He is seen on the 1840 census in Lexington Co, with wife, Elizabeth(b.1820) and two daughters. I believe he was born abt1812, perhaps in Lexington Co. He married in abt 1837 (due to the ages of his children.) He and family are on the 1850 census in Richland Co, Columbia, NC, as well as 1860. He passed away in 1866, of a stroke. His children were Maria A.b. 1838, Amanda b. 1840, John David b. 1842, James T. b. 1844,Emily R. b. 1846, George W. b. 1850, Martin Smith b.1851,Thomas Wiliam b.1852, Henry B. b.1856. He had owned land on #4 Assembly street, but sold it to Susan Patternson in 1862. His obituary stated that he had lived in the area for years and had been a Printer for the Public Treasury---I presume, the Confederacy. He had been paralysed from an earlier stroke and at one time, 1860 is listed as a clerk. I can't find him in any cemeteries in Columbia. Any help would be so appreciated.
