Putting all this together, one might hypothesize the following:Thomas Roberts, m. 1766 to Susannah Dozier, had perhaps the following children:

  • i.Nancy D. Roberts, b. ca. 1768, m. John Sanford.
  • ii.Thomas Roberts, b. ca. 1775, d. IN.
  • iii.Elizabeth Roberts, b. ca. 1777, m. Anthony Benning.

Thomas died perhaps ca. 1778, and his widow married ca. 1779 John Barry, by whom she had at least one son:

  • i.William Taylor Barry, b. 1784.

I have seen claims that William Taylor Barry had at least two or three siblings, including a John Barry and a Sarah Barry (b. 1785, m. Ferguson).Susanna Dozier was allegedly born in 1739, and so could not have been having babies too many years after W. T. Barry's birth; but of course the alleged son John could be older than he.
