Carol, Do you KNOW of a connection between a Jarvis family of Amherst Co., VA and this Roberts family? I'm not sure about how it originally appeared. The information I viewed was transcribed. Could possibly be, I guess. I know there WERE Jarvises in the area, and never thought of that. <silly grin> Maybe I'll follow that lead for a while. Thank you for responding. Pam pamjt@saa.net
