The Roberts Families of Daviess and Hancock Cos., KY

This is only a partial accounting of the earliest members of the Roberts families of Hancock and Daviess Cos., KY. Some have been left out and will be added later. I hope that those of you with Roberts relatives in the area can find this of some use.

1. James Roberts, born 1871 in Indiana, married Lillie ?, born 1872 in Indiana; children: Flora (b. 1896 in Indiana), Aaron (b. 1897 in Indiana) and Jerme Roberts (b. 1910 in Kentucky). From the 1910 Census of Daviess Co., KY.Who is this guy?

2. James Roberts (abt 1766-1822, son of Benjamin Roberts and Ann Duncan of Culpeper Co., VA and Jefferson, Nelson and Henry Cos., KY) married first UNKNOWN (who?!?), married second Mrs. Elizabeth Morris,

Children of the first marriage:

  • Merry Roberts (1792 KY-1876 Daviess Co., KY) married Nancy Estes in 1815 in Henry Co., KY
  • Benjamin Roberts (1793 KY-1867 Daviess Co., KY) married Rebecca Frasier in 1822 in Daviess Co., KY
  • James Roberts, Jr. (d. bef 1826 Henry? Co., KY)married Mary Estes in 1816 in Henry Co., KY

    Children of the second marriage:
  • Henry N. Roberts (1807 Henry Co., KY-1854 Daviess Co., KY) married first Delila Pinkston in 1830 in Daviess Co., KY; married second Mariah Jane Duncan in 1845 in Hancock Co., KY
  • Wesley Roberts (1810 Henry Co., KY-1853 Daviess Co., KY) did not marry
    •

    3. Wesley Roberts (1790-1862) buried Bethlehem U. M. Cemetery, married Mary Ann Smeathers. They had no children and he left his estate to his slaves.

    4. Henry M. Roberts (1782-1856) buried Bethlehem U. M. Cemetery, married first Ann Duncan and second Elizabeth Duncan (what relation to each other???),

    Children of the first marriage:

  • Mary Jane Roberts married William Curry
  • Menefee Roberts married Polly Muffett
  • Redmond Green Roberts married Eleanor Johnson
  • George Roberts married Rebecca Douthitt
  • Elizabeth Roberts married William W. Nichols
  • Casandra Roberts married James H. Vincell
  • Wesley Roberts married Martha Norris
  • John F. Roberts married Mary Medcalf
  • Nancy Roberts married James Blincoe
    •
    Children of the second marriage:
  • Margaret Roberts married William T. Walker
  • Strother Roberts married Julia Payne
  • Joseph Roberts did not marry
  • Mary Ellen Roberts married Nathan Walden
  • Zachariah Taylor Roberts did not marry

    • 5. Willis Roberts (1788-1841) married Rosanna Duncan in 1812 in Nelson Co., KY and Nancy Walker in 1841 in Daviess Co., KY,

    Children of first marriage:

  • Samuel Duncan Roberts
  • John F. Roberts
  • Sarah Jane Roberts married John L. Haywood
  • Martha Roberts married Daniel Grass
  • Benjamin Wesley Roberts
  • Henry M. Roberts
  • Maria Louise Roberts
  • Harriet Newell Roberts did not marry

    • 6. William Roberts (1777-1846) buried Iron Ore Hill, married Margaret Odle in 1814 in Ohio Co., KY

  • Their children:
  • Malinda Roberts married John Henderson
  • Margaret Roberts married Alexander Hollis
  • William Craten Roberts married Frances Lively
  • Felix H. Roberts married Lucy Walker
  • Francis Marion Roberts married Marietta Turnham


    • This is a group of Roberts' that generally does not fit in with the rest of the Roberts in Daviess and Hancock Cos. They were apparently from Franklin Co., KY before they moved to Daviess Co. at an early date. They have been relatively hard to trace. There may have been a name change somewhere along the line, because I saw a reference that claimed they were German, and Roberts is not a German name by any stretch of the imagination. Hope this helps. If you have anything to add, please let me know.

    Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, 2nd ed., 1885, Hancock Co.
    W. S. ROBERTS, attorney-at-law, was born in Hawesville, July 7, 1851. His father was George H. Roberts, a native of Breckinridge County and a descendant of an old and highly respected Virginia family. George Roberts was for many years a successful coal trader, operating extensive mines in Hancock County, but later in life engaged in farming, which vocation he followed until his death, which occurred May 16, 1863. Subject's mother was Elvira Roberts, daughter of Thomas Patterson, one of the early residents of Hancock County. She was born in the State of Missouri, and died in Hancock County in 1861. W. S. is the eldest of a family of five children. He received his early education in the common schools of the county and Cloverport Academy, and later attended several terms at Cecilian College, Hardin County. After quitting school he engaged in farming, which he followed until twenty years of age, when he commenced reading law with G. W. Williams, Esq., of Owensboro, remaining in that city for one year. He then came to Hawesville and entered the office of E. E. Pate, with whom he prosecuted his legal studies until 1872, in which year he was admitted to the bar, receiving a license to practice from Judges Cofer and Stites. He at once took front rank as a practitioner, and at the present time is one of the most successful attorneys in Hawesville, having a large and lucrative practice in Hancock and adjoining counties. He was elected county attorney in 1874, which position he held two years, acquitting himself with the almost universal declaration that he made one of the best officials Hancock County ever had. He was reelected to the same office in 1878, but refused to serve, and since that time he has been actively engaged in the practice of his profession. He belongs to the I.O.O.F, and is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, belonging to the Hawesville congregation. Mr. Roberts was married September 16, 1878, to Miss Mattie Miller, daughter of John A. and B. A. Miller, of Missouri. One child is the fruit of this union, Ruth, born December 6, 1881.
    He was married to Mattie MILLER (daughter of John A. MILLER and B. A. ?) on 18 Sep 1878. Mattie MILLER was born in 1859 in Missouri. She died in 1920. She was buried in Memory Gardens, Hawesville, Hancock Co., KY. William S. ROBERTS and Mattie MILLER had the following children:
