Hi, Does anyone know if one of these Roe's had a son name William? I have been looking for 6 years for the parents of Henry Roe m Elizabeth Mannin living in Morgan Co, KY in censuses 1870 -1910. Three weeks ago I found them in Smyth Co., VA in the 1850 Census. CENSUS YR: 1850 TERRITORY: VA COUNTY: Smyth REEL NO: M432-976 PAGE NO: 156a REFERENCE: 1 July 1850 by L. H.

On the Smyth Co., VA 1860 census at household #694 page #696 it shows William and family, but Rachel is Wife is not on it and may have died in child birth in 1858. #694 696 William Roe 55 Laborer born in Va.

All = Born in Va. I have traced William Roe as follows: 1860 - 55 years old - Smyth Co., VA 1850 - 44 years old - Smyth Co., VA 1840 - 33 years old - Smyth Co., VA 1838 - 31 years old - Tax List - Smyth Co., VA The 1838 Smyth County, Virginia Personal Property Tax List Transcribed by Jeffrey C.

IS THERE ANYONE WORKING ON ANY OF THESE LINES? 1810 WCV Census Benj. Roe, 2 males under 10; 1 male of 10 under 16; 1 male 45 and upwards; 1 female under 10; 1 female of 26 under 45. Edmond Roe, 2 males under 10; 1 male 26 under 45; 2 females of 10 under 16; 1 female of 16 under 26. John Row, 2 males of 10 under16; 1 male of 26 under 45; 2 females under 10; 1 female of 10 under 16; 1 female of 16 under 26; 1 female under 45. 1820 WCV census Roe Richard, 1 male under 10; 1 male of 16 under 26; 1 female of 16 under 26.

The Edmond Roe who married Isabella Speer is written on page 310. Do you think this is your Edmond? 1850 census states Edmond is 53 and Isabella 52 with children Ellen 17; Isabella 12; Ann 14; and Edward 10. >From what I can make of the people I guessed their ages to be as follows: Benjamin Roe born abt. 1765. Edmond Roe born abt. 1797. John Row born bet. 1765 - 1784.***Is this the Jr. Roe**** Richard Roe born abt. 1796. Then there are two John Roe's. John Roe, Jr. born abt. 1770. John Roe, Sr. born abt. 1750. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP OR INPUT. SORRY THIS IS SO LONG, BUT I WANTED TO GET ALL IN. THANK YOU ALL, Donna for Michigan
