March 11, 1869 in Putnam Co. I believe he married Susan Petty and had a daughter named Adaliza Roberts (b. ca. 1833) who married John T. Harbour. In 1868, Thomas Roberts married Judith Terry Johnson, a widow, in Putnam Co. The application for marriage license gives his place of birth as Mecklenburg Co., VA and his parents as T. and N. Roberts. Most sources I've seen give his parents' names as Thomas and Nancy May or Mays, however, many of the sources have inconsistent dates and the generations are confused. I need help in determining which version, if any, is correct. The best information I have indicates that Thomas moved from VA as a young man and lived close to the county line between Cabell and Putnam. He lived in Cabell first and then moved just over the line into Putnam Co. Also, I'm searching for anything on another Thomas Roberts who married Emily Unknown in Cabell Co. around 1860. I believe that Thomas and Emily had a daughter named Victoria Roberts who married Lee Hollandsworth and lived in Lincoln Co. I'm trying to determine whether these two men named Thomas Roberts are related and, if so, the nature of their relationship. I would appreciate any help in solving these puzzles on the Roberts family who lived in Cabell and surrounding counties. Jean Hi, I am very interested in this same information. I know what you mean about the confusion. I have proved my Roberts from my Grandfather to his who was Henry Roberts son of Samuel Roberts who was married to Sarah Spurlock. I believe that Samuel was a son of Thomas and probably the Nancy May but have not been able to prove it. There is so much information out there but the sources are not really clear. Do you have anything about either of the Thomas Roberts having a son named Samuel who was born probably about 1790 or so? Would love to help if I could. I have one of the old Roberts Genealogy things that was prepared years ago by someone who I am not sure knew what they were doing and its very difficult to follow and the prove the information. Would love to hear from you My Mother was born in 1922 and she was a Roberts. Pat
