I am a new member to the Brooke Co., WV mailing list. My surnames are Roberts, Pittman, and Hedges. The family I'm researching is my ggreatgrandfather, Otho H. Roberts, he was the son of William and Rebecca Roberts. I am also researching the Hedges family because I believe Rebecca Roberts may have been a Hedges or related somehow to the Otho Hedges family in Brooke County. William Roberts born abt. 1785 MD, Rebecca (Hedges?), b. abt, 1795 MD, Children: John Joseph Roberts b. 1809, m.
