Hi Patsy,? Allen Webb Roberts son of Elijah & Sarah married my G-Ma Rhoda Elizabeth Applin after she divorced my G-Pa Charley F Simpson. Rhoda's Daughter, Effie Simpson (my Mother) married Allen Roberts son, Gwinn Thomason Roberts and their first born, Gwinn Rufus Roberts, born July 29, 1925 was my Half brother (same Mother).

He was the son of E.I. and Kisiah Roberts from Pettis County, Missouri. The 1850 Missouri census lists 5 children: Joseph, Elijah, Edward I., George W, and Rebecca. Elijah married Sarah Abbott. The 1880 Wise County census shows Elijah and Sarah have two children: Allen, born 1873 and Martha, born1878. There are two Abbott nephews living with them also. The 1900 Wise County census indicates Elijah Roberts was born in October, 1830, and he has been married for 30 years. This census indicates Sarah was born in December, 1840. Living in their household are two more children: Thomas Jefferson Roberts born July-1880, and Robert Roberts, born in June, 1885. This Robert Roberts is my grandfather. His full name was Robert Pickett Bolar Lee Roberts. My mother is 96 years old, and she was his 3rd child by his first wife, Lillie Pruitt. Lillie died when my mother was just a year old. Some 14 years later Grandpa Roberts remarried and had 7 more children. I have other information if someone would like to share information with me.

My mother, Velda Keith Cates Wall, has a large library of genealogical books. Sadly, she has developed Alzheimer's. I have her books at my home in Arkansas, but I don't know what to do with the books. She does have `History of Wise County, A Link With the Past, Vol 1, Vol 2, and Vol 3. They are all first edition. Rosalie, if you're out there, please get in touch with me at nippert@cyberback.com. Thanks!! Galen (Wall) Nippert

Gene, Yes, I'm related to the Pitts in Prentiss County MS and Tishomingo County MS, but not related to those in Pontotoc Co. MS. Most Pitts in Wise County are from the Pontotoc line I think. My Pitts and Wrights left Wise County for the last time about 1921. The MS cemetery URL below is for the oldest Pitts family members we have found. This cemetery has been lost two times and refound and cleared of trees. Hopefully it will never be lost again. We also have Pitts buried at Mt Pleasant Cemetery & Bethany Cemetery in Tishomingo Co & Mount Pleasant Cemetery & Liberty Cemetery in Prentiss County MS.
