I did!!
Problem with one was the listing in Franklin2 of Jesse & Isophenia ROBERTS.
(This is the same Isophenia that family tradition has being held and
blessed by Lafayette.) They were listed here as aged 29 and 30,
respectively, when in reality they were 62 and 61. Oops! Their daughter,
Emma Isophenia was living with them aged 26, but married later that year,
to BLAIR, Oliver.
Also listed was a son of theirs, W.T., as same family. This was Webster
Theodore ROBERTS who, with help from Sandy Wunder, was located in OK after
the 1900's, with a wife and several children. This is interesting since
the 1885 census lists W.T. with a different (first?) wife, S.J. and infant
daughter, M.O. There is no mention of them in the OK census. (?)
Another son, L.F. (Lincoln Freedom) is listed -- also married later in 1885.
Thanks for posting---I'll keep looking and know I'll find other references
to other family. Another daughter of Jesse and Isophenia's, Rachel,
married CROSS, Levi Simon, so will do a search for him, maybe they were
still in the area.
Jesse & Isophenia were my 3rd great grandparents, their son, Jesse Anthony
Roberts married Cecelia Adaline Bullard. I have posted pictures at this
site,
