Reference material: Cumberland County Circuit Court Records by Randolph S. Smith, Burkesville Library, Burkesville, Cumberland County, Kentucky.

It is believed there were two William Roberts in Cumberland County, Kentucky

One was there in 1810, the other arriving between 1810-1820.

The one arriving between 1810-1820 was William Roberts Sr. father of Sarah Sally Roberts Garrett, Absalom Robert, Matlock Roberts, Joseph Roberts, Charles Roberts,| Elijah Roberts. William Roberts Jr.

I have worked off the basis that any entry referring to William Roberts Sr, or involving Hiram Garrett is the William mentioned above.

The reference to William Jr is highly likely the above linked William Roberts son - William Roberts Jr.
