Roberds/Roberts
Family Early Settlers |
||
Name:
DAVID ROBER(D)TS, GG Grandfather, M David Roberds and his family moved to Iowa in ca 1841-42. His brother Jesse and himcame from Richmond, Indiana to Iowa together. They were at Pilot Grove in Lee County and at Salem, Jackson Twp in Henry County IA. We believe that two daughters and a son were born in Lee County at this time. David was dismissed from the Salem meeting for dealing in certs. issued as compensation for services of war in 1849. We find Phebe and children at Richland IN MM in 1852 and can trace them as they moved around IN. In 1860 they return to New Garden MM in IA. A deed was found in IN that showed that David and Phebe did own 80 acres about a mile and a half south of Joseph Roberts, farm in Hamilton County IN in the 1850's. ( a correspondent in 1990's, with me) He was surprised to find this because he said that David appeared to have little if any interaction with his family while there. He said Jesse came back many times and that he had pictures of Jesse's family, but had no information on David's at all. Phebe's stone has last name spelled Roberds. David's stone has it spelled Roberts. His brother Jessie and wife have Roberds on their stone. So the name changed at about the time of David's death. Marriage: 26 Sep 1838 Wayne Co IN ******************************************* Spouse: PHEBE BOND, GG Grandmother, F ************************************************** Birth: 30 Jul 1821 Wayne Co IN Death: 27 Jul 1866 Lee Co IA Age: 44 Burial: Pilot Grove Friends Cemetery in Lee Co IA Father: Thomas Bond, M (1780-1845) Mother: Mary Nation, F (1782-1858) NOTES: Can you imagine the type of life this woman had. She had a husband that moved her to IA in ca 1841-42. He was disowned by the Friends Church in 1849. It appears he became very restless after that and never was a member of a Friends Church again. He then drug his family all over Indiana for ten years. 1852 Phebe and ch get Richland MM in IN 1856 Phebe and ch get Westfield MM in IN 1859 Phebe & ch get Greenfield MM in IN 1860 Phebe and ch get New Garden MM in IA New Garden Monthly Meeting was south of Salem but not far into Lee County IA. Six years and two children later Phebe dies and is buried in the Old Friends Cemetery at Pilot Grove in Lee County. This cemetery is about two-three miles north of the current Pilot Grove and is in the middle of a plowed field and unkept. How would you have liked to have been that mobile and the mother of small children with a new one every two or three years? She was 45 years old when she died. I imagine she was carrying a child at the time of her death, because it had been two years since the birth of her last child.
