In the book, HISTORY OF NORTHWEST MISSOURI, page 1744-1745, is a biographical of J.F. Roberts. The paragraph about his parents says: "J.F. Roberts is a native of Buchanan County, Missouri, where he was born June 17, 1868, a son of J.P. and Jane (Richards) Roberts. Both his parents were natives of Andrew county, Missouri, and with the exception of about four years spent in Buchanan County lived in Andrew County practically all their lives. The father was born in 1842 and the mother in 1841. He died February 26, 1912, and since then the widowed mother has lived with her son J.F. The paternal grandparents were Thomas and Polly Roberts, both natives of Kentucky, where they married, and came to Missouri about 1840, securing Government land near Rosendale. About the time of the war they sold their property and moved to Clinton County, where both died when about eighty years of age. Grandfather Roberts in the early days gave considerable time and attention to the raising of horses. There were four sons and three daughters in his family: James, Thomas, Martha, John, Jane, Porter and Ella. The material grandparents of Mr Roberts were Mr and Mrs Zachariah Richards, the former a native of Tennessee, from which state he removed to Illinois and was married there and came to Andrew County, Missouri, in 1841, locating four miles southwest of Whitesville. He died on the old homestead there after a residence of sixty-one years. He was likewise head of a large family of children."
Thomas Roberts was born in Henry Co, Ky and married "Polly" Mary Maxwell 31 Jan 1831 in Putnam Co, Ind. They are on the 1840 census in Putnam Co, Ind.
In 1850, they are in Platte Twp, Andrew County, Mo living next door to his sister, Jemima "Mina" Roberts and husband Thomas Lucas.

Like to hear from anyone related to these people. Amanda "Ella" Westbrook is in Clinton Co, Mo in 1900. Did Thomas and Mary Roberts go to Clinton Co, Mo and die as the article above states??
