hi Sarah.
The parents of Thomas and Edward are, as you propose,
Thomas (Snr) and Sarah. The couple also had several other children including
Robert (snr) died 28-4-1889 and Anne (who later became Mrs Lewis). Robert
(Snr) is my paternal (direct) G.G. Grand father. If I can assist you
further, hust 'holla'.

>Searching for parents of Thomas ROBERTS. b. 1823 and Edward ROBERTS, b.
1828,
both of Denbighshire, Plas Ucha, near Ruabon. Thomas left Wales in
1845 from Liverpool in the Henry Clay, an old sailing vessel and siled to
New York City. One obit from Iowa newspaper said he was the son of Thomas
and Sarah Roberts. Edward followed his brother in 1866 and they both
eventually settled in Iowa. Edward's obit states parents were Edward and
Margaret ROBERTS. I'm trying to find the true parents of brothers Thomas
and Edward. From old letters I have learned ROBERTS families were buried at
Glyntaff Cemetery, Pontypridd. A memory card states: " In memory of Mrs.
Roberts, of Plas Ucha, near Ruabon, who died April 4, 1860, aged 67." I
don't know the name of her husband. I would appreciate any help or
suggestions.

Hi Nancy,
The answer to this, I believe, came up last year on the Clwyd list :-) .
I think this quote answers you question:
"/I have a will of Thomas Roberts of Plas Ucha farm in the parish of
Ruabon dated 1844. His wife is named Sarah, children Thomas, Samuel,
Edward, Elizabeth, Catherine, Sarah and Mary./"
I've asked the poster to contact you directly.
