Selected Families and Individuals

Notes


Maurice "Morris" QUINN

1.  Alternate place of death:  Red Bud, Georgia


Thomas B. BLAKENEY

1.  Thomas Blakeney married about 1832, probably in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama.

2.  He was from Chesterfield County, South Carolina and settled near Newtonville, Fayette, Alabama about 1832.  This area is just across the county line from Tuscaloosa County.  

3.  Josiah and Amos Roberts owned lands right on the county line a short distance from Newtonville, on the road from Tuscaloosa to Fayette Courthouse, the County Seat.  

4.  Given the close proximity in which Thomas and Josiah lived, the tiny number of settlers at this early day, the land transactions between them and between Thomas and Amos, and her birth year and state, there is a good chance Sarah was a sister of Amos Pleasant Roberts.


Archibald ROBERTS "Sr"

1.  Archibald Roberts went to Brown County, Texas in the 1850's...

2.  He then spread on to Runnels and other surrounding counties in Texas...


Amos Pleasant ROBERTS "Sr"

1.  1850 & 1860 Census..Tuscaloosa, Alabama...

1.  Amos was a mechanic & carpenter....

2.  The family had moved to Conway County, Arkansas by 1867...

3.  Sources:   Tuscaloosa, Alabama Censuses of 1850 & 1860.
                     Evelyn Sanders of Ada, Oklahoma...
                     Eric Newsom of Reston, Virginia...
                     Holdenville, Oklahoma newspaper...
                     Conway County, Arkansas, Courthouse marriage records...

4.  It has been accepted by some that Amos is buried in the northern section of Griffin Township Conway County, Arkansas, around what later became known as "Robertsville", located in Townshp 9N - Range 17W - Section 34.   However, on 10 Sep 2005 this writer had the opportunity to go to the old home place [120 acres] in TOWNSHIP 8N * RANGE 17W - Section 10 & 15 where a cemetery is located with approximately 200 gravestones that are still standing {sandstone}.  Even though his marker was not found there it would only be fitting that he had been buried there.  It is interesting that this property is only about 2-3 miles SW of the Robertsville Cemetery located on Hiway 124 South from Jerusalem.  It should be noted that there are at least five other cemeteries within a five mile radius of there too.


Mary Tilty Jane Adline "Sally" ANDREWS

1.  Reputedly 1/2 Cherokee Indian...in one place and 1/2 Choctaw in another...

4.  There is a dispute as to State of birth...Mississippi or Tennessee...

5.  Mary lived on a piece of land donated by her son Amos Pleasant Roberts, Jr. in a little cabin NE of the main house.  No trace of the cabin survives, but a grove of trees where it had been located still stands.  [This writer personally saw and played in that cabin as a youngster]

6.  Mary Andrews died in 1907 near Center, and was buried in the Box "X" Cemetery.  [A piece of farm land donated by her son, Amos Pleasant Roberts]


Ola ROBERTS

1.  Ola appears with her mother on the 1880 census of Griffin Township, Conway, Arkansas at age 13, born in Arkansas, listed as a daughter.
