George Wesley ROBERTS

                   Haven't looked at the attachments yet but browsing thru what is shown, I see Louisa Co Ia. Not sure if I told you way back when but George Wesley Roberts was s/o Mary Ann Benner and Lorenzo Roberts and Emily E Smith Roberts was the d/o Susan Benner and Gilbert N Smith. Mary Ann and Susan were sisters making George W and Emily first cousins. Don't think I had found that information back when we were corresponding? When George Wesley Roberts died in Washington Co Ia in 1881, his widow, Emily Smith Roberts took their children and moved to Green Co Ia to live with Roberts family. Now I find that the Benners were also in Ia. Me thinks a bunch of Ia research is needed.  I'll check this out more tomorrow... time for the bed. Nancy

WOW. I'm just seeing all kinds of new clues for my Roberts research. Asyou remember, I hope, Mary Ann Benner m Geo. Wesley Roberts. I see whereWesley is running in your lines too... so we must have a Wesley somewhere onback a generation or 2.Some clues that might help you too... Geo W and Emily lived in WashingtonCo, where they had a farm, and that's where he's buried. He entered theCivil War in Henry Co, next door to Des Moines Co. When he died Emily lostthe farm because with a house full of kids she couldn't pay for it. Emilywent from Washington Co [next door to Louisa Co] to Hardin Co, and there isonly 1 county between it and Cerro Gordo. It was in Hardin Co that Emilymarried George Thomas. Shortly after their marriage they went s/w toPhillips Co, Ks and of course from there the kids, both Roberts and Thomas,scattered, with John Wesley, my ggf, going to Colo. Anyway, I have Roberts,Colligan, Magby, Thomas etc in Hardin, Dubuque, Greene, Washington, Henry,Monroe etc. I've never tried to do anything on Benner in Iowa but therejust might be a clue lurking there somewhere that will lead us to Henry andhis siblings, parents etc.I see that you have William b in PA. Any clues at all as to where in Pa?I've never been able to find anything in Md for Peter... or Henry either forthat matter.It's late and I'm tired... gonna try to sleep on this. Thanks for theFGS's. Do you want any new ones from me? I don't think I have anything newthat isn't on my gedcom at WorldConnect.Best,Nancy
