About John Roberts, Sr.

Name

John Roberts Sr. middle name is unknown. The entry John R. on the fifth page of the Family Bible refers to Roberts. His son John Pleasant is referred to as John R. Jr. on the same page. When reviewing the bible you will find a number of instances where to last name is abbreviated with only the 1st letter of the last name.

Burial

His burial location is unknown, but there is an unmarked grave next to his 1st wife's grave at the Jackson-Roberts cemetery. Unmarked because the headstone is upside down and I could not lift it.
