If I have tracked my family back correctly, they came from the Deal, Kent, area of England to the United States. But, reportedly they were originally from Scotland. I have been trying to find the reason why they moved. I found the following post from a John Roberts who is originally from Scotland but migrated to the Kent area in recent years. It’s at http://www.clansandnames.org/forum/read.php?1,103.
“The Roberts family originated in the highlands of Scotland. During the Reign of Malcolm a member of the Roberts family caused offence to a member of Malcolm’s family which resulted in that part of the Roberts family leaving Scotland and settling in Kent, Southern England. They flourished there for several years around the existing town of Robertsbridge. The Roberts family split 3 ways. One part stayed in the Kent area, a second part moved to East Anglia and the 3rd part moved to Wales. When the problem with King Malcolm occurred, half the family remained in Scotland. So it becomes difficult to determine your true lineage. At the time of Culloden, many Scots went to America and Canada, while others went to the far East. An example of the Roberts in East Anglia is the former Prime Minister of the UK, Margaret Thatcher, whose maiden name was Roberts. I am Scottish, born in Glasgow, moved to London when 13, married with 3 children who now live in Kent. So I took Scottish Roberts to live alongside their ancient family.”

Thanks to a distant cousin, Clarence Roberts, I have receive more detail on this. Here is the posting at http://www.british-history.ac.uk/survey-kent/vol7/pp90-113. Apparently, the Roberts are descendants of the Bruce line and share a common ancestor with Robert the Bruce, King of Scotland. When William De Bruce moved to Kent, he changed his surname to “Rookehust” (Rook’s Hill) in honor of the first Robert “The Rook” De Bruce, who came to England/Scotland with William The Conqueror. Then he or his son Stephen changed their surname to Roberts in honor of that same ancestor.
“THE MANOR OF GLASSENBURY is of considerable note, the mansion of which is situated near three miles north-west from the church. This seat was for many generations the residence of the antient family of Rokehurst, the first of whom, who settled in this county, was William Rookehurst, alias Roberts, a gentleman of Scotland, of the shire of Anandale, who, leaving his native country, came to the adjoining parish of Goudhurst in the 3d year of king Henry I. and then purchased lands at Winchett hill there, where he built a mansion for his residence; which lands were afterwards named from him, the lands and denne of Rookeburst, which name it still retains, and there is a tablet put up over a tomb in the south chancel of this church, giving an account of him and his posterity, who bore for their arms, Azure, on a chevron, argent, three miles, sable. This family continued at Goudhurst for 274 years, till, in the reign of king Richard II. Stephen Roberts, alias Rookehurst, marrying Joane, daughter and heir of William Tilley, esq. of Glassenbury, whose ancestors had resided here, as appeared by private evidences, from the time of king Edward I.”
http://www.rookhurst.com/History_of_Rookhurst.htm
“Rookhurst originated in the eleventh century, shortly after the Battle of Hastings, when William, son of Robert “The Rook”, moved from the Annandale region on the England/Scotland border to Kent. He built a manor on Winchett Hill which he called Rookhurst. His son began using the surname Roberts.
About 250 years later, in the thirteenth century, Stephen Roberts married Joan Tyllye, the heiress of Glassenbury, which was a short distance from Rookhurst. They built a new moated manor which they also called Glassenbury just down the valley from her childhood home.
My ancestors remained at Glassenbury for another 250 years. In 1623, Thomas Roberts arrived in America with William Hilton. He settled in what is now the Dover area of New Hampshire.
My family remained within 50 miles of this area for another 250 years, until my great-grandfather went first to Iowa, then his son to Oklahoma.
When we retired to Arkansas, we decided to call our farm Rookhurst.”
Blackwater German Baptist Church of the Brethren
May.12,2013I remember Dad telling me that my great-grandpa, Elbert Roberts, attended a German Baptist Church in Blackwater. The German Baptist were also known as “Dunkers” since they believed in completely immersing a person three times during baptism. They are commonly known as the Church of the Brethren today.
I have tried to find a location for this church in Blackwater, Virginia without success. However, I did find the following reference to it at a very information Church of the Brethren website, http://www.cob-net.org/antietam/dunkers.htm :
“Slavery
What did the Dunkers believe concerning slavery, at the official denominational level? Since the Dunkers or Brethren had migrated from Pennsylvania into a few southern States (Maryland, Virginia) with significant slave populations, the issue of slavery would inevitably confront them denominationally at their Annual Conference. The earliest record of an official mention was in their Annual Conference minutes for 1797, held at Blackwater, Virginia: “It was considered good, and also concluded unanimously, that no brother or sister should have negroes as slaves; and in case a brother or sister had such he or she was to set them free.” [1] This had the effect of barring members from Communion and even disfellowshipping those who persisted in retaining slaves. Again the issue was similarly reflected in the minutes of the 1713 Conference held at Coventry, Pennsylvania.”
This is interesting since my direct ancestors fought for the Union although they were Southerners.
Here is another information web site: http://www.nps.gov/anti/historyculture/who-were-the-dunkers.htm. Apparently, German Baptists played a big part in the battle of Sharpsburg.
German Baptists or Dunkers typically dressed similarly to the Amish and Mennonites. They could be easily identified by their beards with no mustaches. This reminds me of a story that Dad and Grandpa Baker told me when I was a kid. I’m not sure if it was based on a real story or just a joke, but here is how it goes:
A German Baptist was riding a train and noticed that the man sitting across from him kept staring at him. Finally, the man asked him, “Why do you wear your beard that way?”. The German Baptist replied that he was a Dunker. The man responded, “Well, I like to have a drink or two myself. But I still don’t understand why you wear your beard that way.”
I hope that I didn’t offend you. My Dad and Grandpa got tickled when they told that story.
If you have any more information on the German Baptist Church in Blackwater, I would love to hear it. I have found a possible former location on the Blackwater Creek. But I only have GPS coordinates for it.

copy done by Cynthia Hubbard Headen
source: The Magazine of VA Genealogy, v.23, #1 (Feb.1985),
transcribed by Marian Dodson Chiarito
These lists were taken from a typewritten copy found in the Clerk’s Office, Pittsylvania County, at Chatham, Virginia. The two following affidavits found attached to the copy are self- explanatory.
I, S. H. F. Jones, do hereby certify that about the year 1930 I personally copied and had checked the names of persons who took the oath of Allegiance in 1777 as shown by manuscripts then in the Clerk’s Office of Pittsylvania County, Virginia. The writing was faded and a few names could not be deciphered. Every effort was made to transcribe the names as they appeared on the manuscripts. The names of the foregoing Lists are a true and correct copy of the aforesaid manuscripts to the best of my knowledge and belief. The lists were also checked by Mr. Langhorne Jones, atty.
Given under my hand and seal this 8th day of November, 1939.
S. H. F. Jones (Seal)
State of Virginia
Pittsylvania County, To-wit:
I, E. E. Friend, Clerk of the Circuit Court of Pittsylvania County, Virginia, the same being a Court of Record, do hereby certify that Mrs. S. H. F. Jones whose name is signed to the foregoing writing bearing date 8th day of November 1939, personally appeared before me in my county, Office and State aforesaid and made oath that the foregoing statements are true to the best of her knowledge and belief.
