Subject: Re: John Roberts/Widow Glasgow/Patrick Lowrey/James Hughston of Newberry... From: J2roberts Date: June 19, 2000 << Judy, Did Lewis happen to have a son named James? I'm looking for family of James Roberts b abt 1775 SC d abt 1855 GA. Melba >> Hi Melba, I have been wondering this myself. Folks Huxford wrote in the volumes of "Pioneers Of Wiregrass, Georgia", that Lewis Roberts and Mary (???) had only one child, John R. "Buttermilk Jack" Roberts, b. 1778 SC around Edisto, and d. 1854 in Union CO, FL. Buttermilk Jack brought his father Lewis, to Georgia with him and they settled in Wayne Co, about 1800. Buttermilk Jack married Phoebe Weeks O'Steen, b. 1785 NC, d. 1851 FL John and Phoebe were my hubby's gg-grandparents. There is a James Roberts, b. 1784 SC and d. 1864 FL. I know these dates are not the same as for your James Roberts, but I can't help but feel that this James b. 1784 may have been a brother to my Buttermilk Jack. The reason being, this James is buried in the family plot at Swift Creek Church along with Buttermilk, his wife Phoebe and their son Nathaniel. I have been to the cemetery and took pictures of all of the graves. The fact they are buried together plus only 6 year age difference makes me suspect that they may be brothers, the grave markes are old and originals. I am not convinced that Lewis had only one child! I find that unusual for the times. If someone on the list has any input on this, I would certainly welcome it.
