| Notes for James F. M. Roberts |
Grayson Co. Virginia birth records list birth of James F. Roberts on 23 Jun 1856 to Minetry and Phamy Roberts.
Noreta Wells has his middle initial as M instead of F. I don't know her source on that. Maybe his full name was James Francis Marion Roberts? If so, he might be the Marion Roberts who married Stella Carter on 4 June 1905. |
| Census |
