About Roger Roberts
Roger Roberts is the son of James Roberts and Rebecca Roberts. Roger seems to have made the trek from Wales with James and Rebecca. It seems after they landed in North Carolina (probably Carteret County), that Roger decided to side with the Rebellion. Because the lines between North and South Carolina along the coast are blurred by swamps, it appears he served in both states. No other "Roger Roberts" was found in census or other data. No DAR application has been filed in his name in either state. It seems appropriate for someone to do so through appropriate research.

Sometime during or after the Revolution - before 1800, Roger and Keziah Harrell moved permanently to South Carolina. Roger may have been in Glasglow County, now part of present day Greene County as a census name is found as follows:

From "History of Benton, Washington, Carroll, Madison, Crawford, Franklin, and Sebastian Counties, Arkansas (Goodspeed Pub. Co., 1899). Original is in the collection of the Columbia University Libraries (this photocopied version is available for free on Google Books as of 6/2017). This book provides strong support for at least 4 important propositions re: the Roberts family in Marion, SC:
- 1) Redding Roberts' father was in fact Roger Roberts,
- 2) Roger Roberts served in some capacity in the American Revolution,
- 3) Roger was born in Wales and emigrated as a child, and
- 4) the Roberts resided elsewhere prior to settling in South Carolina. Other corroborative documentation supports that the "elsewhere" was North Carolina, and that Roger Roberts' father was James Roberts.
Thanks to Glenn Chappell for his work on unearthing the text on the Mississippi/Arkansas branch of the family from 1899. SFG
