CONC
The children of George Roberts and Rhoda Payne, his wife as named in the will
of 19 November 1805 and apparently in the order of their birth were:
Anne Roberts Lee (second husband was Luke Lea - also VERY mispublished!)
George Roberts, Junior
John Roberts
William Roberts
Elisha Roberts
Samuel Roberts
Milla (Amelia) Roberts Chisum
Isaac Roberts
Thomas Roberts
Abasolom Roberts
James Roberts
It is not clear whether George Roberts Sr. died in Tennessee, en rou
Spanish West Florida or that he did reach that locale and died soon after his
arrival. The fact that the will was deposited with the Commandant of t
district in evidence that he did die in that area and the fact that the will
was not recorded in Hawkins County, Tennessee seems to be further proof of
that assumption.
This will was discovered in 1960 among the Estate Records of St. Helena
Parish, Louisiana. This find confirmed the research done on the family in
Hawkins County, Tennessee by Mr. Prentis Price, of Rogersville, Tennessee in
1957.

_____________________________________________
This compilation will refute many of the assertions found in a book by Emily
Griffin Roberts of Terrell, Texas - "Ancestral Study of Four Families,
Roberts, Griffin, Cartwright & Simpson". (1937) Mrs. Roberts believed that
one, William Roberts was the father of the brothers who settled in Spanish
West Florida before 1810 which is incorrect as George Roberts Sr. who made
his will in 1805, was their father. Her list of brothers and sisters is also
found to be incorrect. The above will had not been discovered at the time
she made these assertions.
