(William)Henry was the father of William James Roberson. He and his wife had one son and 4 daughters. This is the farthest back we have been able to trace so far and has become our "brick wall". Any contributions, insights or information is welcome.

Langford, attorney, files petition with the court Feb 21, 1872 stating that there are no further debts or property remaining to Estate other than the land itself.
