Hello I am offering a $50 reward to anyone who can find my ancestor in Texas after 1899. He filed a pension application in 1899 from Stepehenville in Erath Co, TX. On this pension he claims to have been in Texas since 1881. James K. Polk (age 35) was listed on the 1880 census in Jackson Co, TN with his wife Mary A. Haley (age 29) and children, Sarah E. Roberts (age 10), Josiah Roberts (age 9), Robert E. Roberts (age 6) (found in Erath Co, TX census 1900), Amanda Tennessee Robertts (age 4) ( she was found in Wise Co, TX in 1900), Daisy Roberts (age 2) (found marrying Albert E. Martin in Tarrant Co, TX), and Leonides Roberts born in 1880. I have been unable to find James K. Polk Roberts on any census after the 1880 Jackson Co, TN census. Only trace I have of him after that is the pension filed from Erath Co, TX in 1899. I will send a $50 cashier's check to ANYONE who can find him in Texas after 1880. That would mean a census, burial place, church record.........anything that documents him in Texa after 1880. Someone PLEASE find him. I have looked and looked and have decided it is well worth $50 to me to find this ancestor. Thanks for any help, Brenda -- GENEALOGY = always meant to be shared!
