Grimes and Roper
I am looking for information on Elizabeth Grimes born in Ohio, married Joseph Roper in MO.From their I only know what happened to her Daughter Martha Jane Roper
beth was born in Ohio.
I believe her father was Alonzo D. Grimes
There are family stories that the Matriarch of the family was a women named Elizabeth Grimes (would be much older than my Elizabeth) and that this Elizabeth came from PA.
