James Roberts of Snow Creek

I found this excerpt from “Selected Roberts Papers: Seven Generations of a Southern Lineage” by Charles Stewart Roberts, M.D., and was very excited by it. You can read it here.

Researching the Roberts/Blevins/ Wallin connection. I found this article very informing as I was lost in Kentucky and Tennessee. I suspected the connection went further back to Virg.
If anyone wants a copy of this book let me know. I still don’t quite understand the relationship between John Roberts of Surry County, Tory Colonel James Roberts, William and Cornelius Roberts and Jesse Roberts. Who were the parents of Jesse Roberts? Were William and Cornelius definitely brothers? Who was the father? Were John of Surry County and Tory James Roberts brothers? Everyone is closely related, but how?
All the best,
Charles Roberts

I descend from some of the Longhunters and have some info you might be interested in pertaining to the Roberts clan members of that time period.
Hi Les,
I descend from both Robert’s line as my Cornelius line is through his daughter Amelia who married John Frost. My other line in through Shadrach Roberts and Katherine Turner, my 5th G. Great Grandparents on my maternal side,. Both these 2 different Roberts came together and married in the late 1800’s in California.
This has made for a very difficult search and through Y-DNA testing at FT I know these two lines are not related.
I have traced back my Shadrach line to the 1650’s to MD and have two brothers from that line that settled in Rowan Co., N.C. One an Edward and another a William 1715/13 from MD. to Rowan. I also have a Boone and Wilcoxen Connection and wonder if these are the two Edward and William that travelled at the same time as the Boones to Dutchman’s Creek where they all were granted land.
I can always find a William in the Cornelius line but not anything about an Edward along with an William so I am trying to find out if Cornelius and His William also travelled with an Edward and would appreciate any into anyone has.
I am a descendant of Cornelius and possible a John Tuner Roberts who may be the son of Shadrach Roberts and Katherine Turner. Cornelius line married John T. line in Watsonville CA, in the 1800’s. Cornelius is in the Robert’s FTDNA Project and is matching with the William Robert’s of the Robert’s Cove VA family. I have just gotten a John T.Roberts descendant and a Shadrach Roberts descendant to agree to a DNA test that should be completed in Jan according to FT.
I would love to have any information you might have regarding these two Roberts.
Thank You,
Bonnie Karlyle
