Brenda & Linda, this is what little I have on my John Corwin Roberts who
lived in Montgomery Co., IL Irving. .I don't know that much
about my Browns in IL. There were 4 of the same generation that moved
from Knox or Marion Co., TX three boys & one sister & her husband,
Washington Fleming. With them they brought their Roberts cousins Mary,
John Corwin, Nancy & Peter, all had become orphans in 1836 when their
father John Roberts had died in Marion Co., TN. John Roberts had been
b: in March 1791. I have his orphan bond to a Beriah Frazier.to learn
reading, writing & cyphering. John had married Alice Brown in Knox Co.,
TN in 1813. Beriah Fraizer was his Bondsman.. She was the daughter of
John & Alice Nodding Brown from MD I didn't know that so many of the
Browns had come to Montgomery Co until a short time ago. What I need is
info on them in Montgomery Co and where they moved...both Browns &
Roberts. I've got some more info, but lets see if we make a match.

Mary Roberts never married. There is some reason that she may have been
"feeble minded".. Nancy Jane married Wilburn Isaac s/o Samuel Wilburn.
& Peter married 1st, Tarquina Ann Newcomb. They lived in Nokomas
After Tarquina died he married Lydia Christain. They had 6 children,
all moved to TX when the family moved I think abt. 1890. He had 4
children with Tarquina...all died young.

I would love to exchange info with you. Please write to me privately at
