Robert Tarpley was the second son of William M. Tarpley and Catherine Palmer Tarpley who lived in the Swansonsville area of Pittsylvania County. I know where the graves of William M. and Catherine are and I have been on the plantation lands of the Robert M. Tarpley that you refer to. William M. Tarpley and Robert M. Tarpley were large slaveholders and landowners of the area.
I am descended form Joseph E. Tarpley - the younger brother of Robert M. Tarpley
I have much info on this family.
