Interesting you would point that out. I knew about the naming pattern because it has occurred many times in my other family lines, but it had not dawned on me that Roe could have been a surname of an ancestor--I guess because his mother was a Watson, and beyond that, I have no idea who his ancestors were. You've given me an idea, though, and if I should detect anything I will be glad to let you know. Thanks for the response. By the way, I don't have his grandmother's maiden name. You wouldn't happen to have a Margaretta Ann Roe in your files would you?
