This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: ROBERTSON/ROBERSON, Jones Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/SeB.2ACE/726 Message Board Post: Henry Robertson/Roberson was born November 5, 1818 in Giles Co, TN. In 1838 he enlisted in the TN Vol Inf. Following his discharge, he lived for a while in Stewart Co, TN. By 1847, he was in Union Co Ar and married Elizabeth Ann Jones. They had 7 children together before he died unexpectedly in 1858. Only 5 of the children were listed in probate records, so the other 2 may have died at a young age. The family Bible lists complete names for all members of this family, but no locations. There is also no information on Henry's parents or siblings. Interesting to note that Henry served as and made the first few Bible entries as Rober-t-son and later changed the spelling to Roberson. His widow testified in her pension application that he came to believe that was the proper spelling for his name. Henry lived very near a James Roberson in Union County Arkansas who had also been in TN before AR, and he was b. in Brunswick, VA and was a veteran of the War of 1812. We do not know if they are kin, but it is possible, even likely. Any clues or information about this family are welcome. Thank you.
