Research Notes

Author: Sharon Spangler. Hello, I have these children of William but I also have Roger 1772-1837 born in Wythe County, Virginia as his son. I've lost the documentation. Does anyone have Roger Oatts as a son of William 1734-1818? As the oldest son, he could have been born in VA on the migration south. Thank you.
