1. The 1850 Census for Lewistown, Fulton, Illinois, lists Ephraim (a farmer) and Huldah Roberts living with their son Jeremiah. Probably because census taking was a lengthy process in those days and the Roberts could have moved within the year, we also find Ephraim Jr. and Huldah in the 1850 Scott County Illinois census, living in Winchester with their son Clark (a physician) where Huldah died 1851. Ephraim Jr. is still with son Clark as shown in 1860 Census. He died at the home of his son Levi, in Ripley, Brown County, Illinois in 1861. He is buried in Ripley, Illinois.
