Any and all help is appreciated.
From the info I have found here and on
FamilySearch.org, this seems to be the right
track. I am just suprised and DELIGHTED to have found it. This was my orginal starting
point for my research (my maiden name is Roberts), but I have only had luck following a
few other tangent lines.
The only concrete info I have to date is starting with my Grandfather Paul Thomas Roberts
b. 1911 d. 1971, then his father Lewis Roberts and mother Love Werts. I originally
thought that Lew and Love came from Bartholomew County and moved to Lawrence County
(Mitchell?). But if the info I have found here turns out to be the same line, I have just
cleared a major hurdle. The obit for George mentions a surviving brother named Lewis of
Bloomington, which is where Lew and Love would've been living at the time of
George's death. So I believe that I'm on the right track.
The addtl info from LDS site says that Otha was the son of William Roberts of W. Virginia.
If you can clarify this, that would be great.
Sorry to be so wordy, but I am so excited to have (hopefully) busted through this brick
wall.
