WikiTree Pages of Interest

  • Esther (Roberts) Martin (abt.1626-1687)--orphaned; need to re-assess her marriage date thus and/or date of birth.
  • Jane (Roberts) Philbrick (abt.1627-abt.1648)--came in from DeCoursey; we show the supposed marriage 1644, James Philbrick Sr, (PGM) as his first wife; we say he married (2) 1650, her "sister" Anna.— sources as Yates and Edmund West. Also has N.H. probate, but no record specified. GJ--We have proof of life--see the works consulted by New England Marriages, one or more historical records; those may be circular, thus proof of life may be single source, John R. Ham, Dover, New Hampshire Marriages, 1623–1823. See separately FSFT L6G1-KW3.
  • Rebecca Roberts (abt.1627-)--orphaned; no mother; --Ed Poor imported this in 2013; says born 1627 at Dover; no reliable sources, seems based on ancestral file. See FSFT G3BQ-95B (daughter of Thomas) has 16 September 1636, Dover-27 September 1673 (which is date of Thomas' will), Suffolk County, Massachusetts; no sources. Is this made up? What is proof of life? Sever?
  • John Roberts Sr. (1627-1695)
  • Anna (Roberts) (Philbrick) Marston (abt.1631-1717)
  • Benjamin Roberts (1632-)--WikiTree has birth 1632 in Watertown; says he died unknown date at Hampton. Ann Johnson is mgr; imported by Lindsay (Stough) Tyrie 2011; no reliable sources; seems just based on Ancestry Trees. See FSFT G3B3-LRB (son of Thomas), has 1632, Watertown-21 January 1695, Dover; unsourced. Is this made up? What is proof of life? Sever?
  • Thomas Roberts Jr (abt.1633-abt.1703)--If his birth is based on deposition, wouldn't that be 1636?
  • Edward Roberts (1636-)--WikiTree has his birth 1636, no location. Doris Miller is mgr; imported by Lindsay (Stough) Tyrie 2011; no reliable sources; trees and Yates marriages … but there is no marriage. Is this made up? What is proof of life? Sever?
  • Elizabeth (Roberts) Heard (abt.1641-abt.1701)
  • William Roberts (1642-)--WikiTree has birth 1642, Dover. Ann Johnson is mgr; imported by Lindsay (Stough) Tyrie 2011; no reliable sources; trees and Yates marriages … but there is no marriage. See John R. Ham, Dover, New Hampshire Marriages, 1623–1823--reports he was killed in 1675 (after the date of Thomas' will). If that can be confirmed, then he should be severed. Should this William 1642-1675 otherwise be the SON OF William Roberts (1614-abt.1675), duplicate of William Roberts (1644-1669)? Alternatively, There are yep Williams attached in FSFT--these are two different Williams (FSFT M26K-BYF and FSFT GZFT-CJH), only the second is seen in Dover records, but, as above, unlikely he is Thomas' son. (Blake-Glidden 212 has this William as possible son; reports he married Dorothy, six children. Claims he was a Quaker; estate settled 1676.) Refer to Research Notes.
  • Sarah (Roberts) Rich (abt.1643-bef.1697)
  • Joseph Roberts (1645-)--WikiTree has birth 1645, Dover. Ann Johnson is mgr; imported by Lindsay (Stough) Tyrie 2011; no reliable sources; trees and Yates marriages … but there is no marriage. Is this made up? What is proof of life? Sever?
