I was stuck for a long time on my GGrandfather Josiah Moore. Everything I found on him was shown as J.W. Moore and I just found his first name last month, then I was able to find him on the 1850 Census with his parents James E. Moore and Sarah Jane Roberts, listed next door to them was his Grandfather Josiah Roberts. From the 1850 Census, Jasper Co., TX, page 229B, I was able to estimate the birth dates for the children shown still living at home. It is possible that there were some other children that were allready married and living elsewhere. The children I show are Sarah Jane Roberts, b. 24 Sept 1828 in MS, marr. James E. Moore, Cynthia Ann Roberts, b. ca. 1839 in MS, Nancy Roberts, b. ca. 1841 in MS, John Alexander Roberts b. ca. 1843 in TX, Elizabeth Roberts b.ca. 1844 in TX, George Washington Roberts b. ca. 1847 in TX. His wife is not listed on the 1850 census. I also found Josiah listed in the book "1840 Citizens of Texas, Vol. 3, Land Grants, by Gifford White, page 241. "Roberts, Josiah Oct 1841 320acres Jasper 27 Oct 1845....Roberts, Josiah Nov 1841 320 acres Jasper TX 6 Dec 1841. He is also listed on the 1846 Jasper Co., TX tax list. Please send me the info you have on George Washington and his family. Thanks, Sharon
