It has been very hard searching this family as there were two Roscoe M Roberts living in the same neck-of-the woods born about the same time. Roscoe Matthew Roberts is the son of Charlie Hamilton Roberts who is the son of James Madison (Matt) Roberts & Katie Cones. James Madison is the son of Joseph Roberts and Rebecca Warren and a brother to Jacob R. Roberts the father of Roscoe's father Leffie L. Roberts. Anita Paxton the g grandaughter of Roscoe Matthew helped me get them straight.
