Turman. Tri-State Genealogical Society, c/o Willard Library, Evansville, IN, April 27, 1956. The original JOHN ROBERTS, who came to Gibson Co., IN, in 1807, was a Welshman born in North Wales in 1762. He came to Philadelphia Co., PA in 1782 with his two younger brothers, ELISHA and WM. JR. They were sons of Wm. Roberts, Sr., born ca 1730 and grandsons of Robert Roberts. About 1786, John Roberts was married to Mary, daughter of Wm. Johnson. John and Mary were parents of 11 children, the first of whom was JOHN JR. b. 1787. The following year, the couple and their baby moved westward through TN into Lincoln Co., KY, where their second son, WILLIAM, was born. in 1792 that area was subdivided and Green Co. was formed the same year that KY became a State. These first two sons probably always lived in KY since D.B. Montgomery noted that none of their descendants were ever known in southern Indiana. John Roberts Sr. remained in KY until 1807 when he crossed the Ohio River and settled 3 miles N of Owensville. But this was 10 years before that town was founded. John was registered as a voter on a list dated April 3 and May 20, 1809 in Wabash Twp of what was then Knox Co. IN...... John Roberts died about 1844.
