Trying to find some information on ROBERSON. George Washington ROBERSON and brother, Webster, immigrated to Van Buren County sometime at the turn of this century from Tennessee. George was born in 1871, date and location unknown and died 18 Mar 1957. What I'm looking for is information about George and Webster before arriving in Arkansas. Who preceded them? We only know their mother was named Mary and was born in 1884 in Tennessee. Ancestral ties supposedly go back to Ireland, by way of North Carolina? George married a Virginia GIBBONS born 8 Jan 1880, location unknown, whose father, Bill GIBBONS, also came to Van Buren County from Tennessee. Her mother was Sara BROWN. Any leads on the trail would be appreciated. Ron Roberson

Am researching Baker, Adjet(Adget)Mckenzie, s/o John Webster and Mahala Glover BAKER, was born in Madison County, Alabama in 1838 and married Julia GLOVER, they lived until the early part of the 1900's in Brownsboro, Madison County, Alabama and then made the move to Bee Branch Arkansas. Why? I haven't been able to find out. Adjet and Julia BAKER had six or seven children, M.Lavinia, Mckenzie, Johnson(James)T., Mary A., Johnnie(dau), Charles Raymond, which ones traveled with Adjet and Julia are uncertain,if any. But it is thought that Charles and Johnson (James) remained in Alabama.Julia was the daughter of James and Matilda Greene GLOVER, and the granddaughter of Burket GREENE. Am most interested in hearing and finding out anything on this family as I have little on them after their move to Arkansas, would dearly love to know where Adjet and Julia are buried, if in Arkansas.

The record I have states that Dick was born in Van Buren Co, but a fellow researcher so graciously found that not to be true. It could have been in a nearby county? Now I REALLY don't know what to think about this one. Thanks for your help.
