Biography

James Charlie Roberts was born on the 16 Nov 1876 in Tennessee to James Roberts and Malvina Warford

He was one of 12 siblings:

• Mattie Mallie Roberts^[1]
• James Charlie Roberts^[1]
• Thursie Jinny Roberts(1878-?)^[1]
• Joseph Roberts ^[2]
• Sarah Gertrude Roberts^[2]
• Jennie Ella Roberts^[2]
• James Henry Roberts Jr^[2]
• Dellie Roberts^[2]
• Lula Roberts^[2]
• Minnie Roberts^{[2] [3]}
• Franklin Roberts^[2]
• Zelpha Roberts^[2]

In 1880^[1] They were living in DeKalb, Tennessee and James claimed no real estate value. In the home are James Henry 23, Jospehine(Malvina for some reason listed as Josephine) 25, Mallie 6, Charles 4 and Thursday 2. I also believe Joseph was in the home and the youngest and may account for the misnaming of Malvina.

He died on the 2nd of December, 1965^[4] and he would be buried in the Biscoe Cemetery in Biscoe, Prairie County, Arkansas^[5]

Research Notes

Story written by Minnie Roberts about the Matlock Roberts family

Conflicts

• 1880 census lists mother as Josephine instead of Malvina, as well think Joseph may have been in the home, thus the misnaming of her.
