Thank you again for your help and kindness. Luckily, I can decline your generous offer of research assistance. I have been fortunate enough to find many other helpful researchers in NC, where my ggparents were born. I have been able to trace the Robersons to the late 1600s in NC/VA, and to trace my ggmother's family to Jamestown. Almost all the information I got on the internet. The rest came from the LDS research room in B'ham. Thanks for your offer of help, but I am lucky to have made such great strides so quickly and easily. I still don't know how I'm related to the Orrs. (My father used to visit his uncle, Clyde Orr in the Cornersville area.) Nor, do I know the connection with the McHibbons, also Cornersville area. My gparents married at their home, and my father also would visit Viva McHibbon. If you or anyone reading this might know any connection between the ROBERSONS and the ORRS or the MCHIBBONS, I would be grateful. Last puzzle. My maiden name is PHILLIPS. A letter written to my father in the 1940s by a Roberson cousin in Cornersville came by way of MARIE PHILLIPS GILLUM. She had my father's address in Birmingham, not the Roberson cousin. I have no idea who she is, but would love to know. I think I have a cousin in Lewisburg, Edward Roberson. He would be the last family in the area that I know of. I found him in the phone book, and I'm hesitant to contact him out of the blue, but he might be able to solve some of the mysteries. Christopher, thank you again for taking the time to help me.
