Hi Listers and fellow-Researchers, Just hoping that some one of you has access to this census reports/ or personal information that can enlighten me on a particular subject of my search. I obtained information on my ancestor SUSAN ROBERTS b: abt. 1810 (mother of MARGARET ROBERTS b: abt. 1841, who was the mother of JENNY ROBERTS b: abt 1864) from the Amherst Co.,VA census report of 1850. Here SUSAN is listed as 40 yrs. old and there are five ROBERTS children listed in her household: JOHN 21, GARLAND 16, JESSE 13, GUSTAVUS 11, and my MARGARET 9. But I do not have a "marital status" for her, and since there is reportedly no male "head" present in this household - I need to know if she is listed as "widowed" or "single" or what. She is listed again on the 1870 with her unmarried daughter, Margaret and two grandchildren. But on this information too, I do not have a "marital status". Is there anyone who can help me with this particular ROBERTS family? I will greatly appreciate any help! Pam pamjt@saa.net
