!NOTES:Mr. Sellers claims she was a Norton, but no one of that surname appeared on the 1769 or 1780 tax lists in Dobbs Co., NC nor on the 1790 census there.
Perhaps she isn't a Norton, or perhaps she is, but Roger married her in SC, then return to NC for a time;

...
Norton Roberts resided on the first settled place south of Buck Swamp Bridge ; don't know to whom he married-think, however, his wife was a Miss Johnson ; he, with all his family, except his oldest son. Colonel John M. Roberts, went to Louisiana a way back, perhaps, in the forties, and it is said, don't know with how much truth, that one of his sons became Governor of Louisiana. I have learned from the Hon. James Norton, that Norton Roberts' mother was a Miss Norton, sister of James Norton's grand-father, hence his name, Norton Roberts.
