Edward Roberts

Welcome to The
Roberts, Campbell, and Moorehead Family Website

Thus far, we have traced our Roberts family ancestry only as far back as Edward Roberts. We now believe that he moved to Gethsemane, Arkansas from North Carolina. We also believe that his father was White (Caucasian).We were not able to find out exactly its roots, as there are no records, see. We did and searched wherever possible.

We currently have no information on his wife, Mary (July 2010).

We believe that Mary & Edward Roberts had nineteen children, of which eight died at childbirth or very young.

The other eleven children (in the order of their births?) are:

1. Rosetta
2. James Clifton (aka, Bud)
3. Elijah
4. Sidney
5. Katie
6. Ginny
7. Annavesta
8. Alice
9. Josephine (aka, Josey)
10. Lucy
11. Emma
