Roberts, Benjamin F. Co. F 42 GA Inf CSA (possibly
the son of William and Zilphey Roberts. His sister
Sarah Roberts m'd John Joiner, Mary W Roberts m'd
Andrew J Rodgers/Rogers, Martha A Roberts m'd Malachi
Gassett,Barzilla Frances m'd John W Gassett, Georgia
Roberts m'd Algin Walter Meadows (these are my great
grandparents) and a Franklin Roberts m'd Frances
Harris in 1865. All these marriages were in Taylor
County GA.



A Benjamin Roberts is listed on the 1880 Marion Co GA
census, District #42, #808 GMD, hh189/fn189, Tazewell,
pg 140A. There is a William Roberts in his household
listed as father. I am not sure if this is the William
Roberts who was shown with wife Zilphey on the 1850
and 1860 censuses and on the 1870 with wife Lucinda
(they m'd 30 Jun 1864). In 1870 William Roberts is
living next door to Kimbrell Massey 9 my ggg
grandfather). On all the other censuses William was
listed as a Blacksmith but on the 1880 he is shown as
having no occupation.
