Roberts Genealogy - Western North Carolina
Welcome to my Roberts web pages. I have another Roberts line, not related to this one. Click here for more on the Roberts of Eastern NC and Eastern SC.
My most recent Roberts ancestor is Mary "Polly" Roberts (c1780s-1840s) who married John Moody before ca 1803 either in Surry Co., NC or in Georgia. Note that we have yet to prove she was a Roberts but circumstantial evidence strongly suggests it.
If Mary is indeed a Roberts, then she is almost certainly a child of Olive Branch Roberts (c1745-1827) and Sarah Woodson. Olive lived in Surry Co., NC and Wilkes Co., GA. His parents are unknown.
