I have an Elizabeth Bridges who married a Frederick Roper. They had a son, Caswell Roper. Is your Martha Roper a relation? Mildred

Mildred, I know nothing about the Roper line except that most every name in Marion County is mentioned in the 775 page "The Stackhouse Family" book which suffers from the lack of an index. The book does have the information that the mother of William Russell Stackhouse (that I mentioned to Bob Campbell) was Martha Roper, who married Isaac Stackhouse on 23 Dec 1816. She was born 1 Feb 1798 to John and Martha Capel Roper and she died on 16 February 1853. The book was published by the Stackhouse Foundation (a project of John Stackhouse).based on traditional reports garnered from the extended family over many years and is not without mistakes but many of the respondents, or their descendants, are still living to ask since the book was published in 1993 and their mailing addresses are usually noted. The address for ordering the book is P.O.
