F i Mary Lemira CLACK was born 11 Jun 1821 and died 15 Oct 1904.
Andrew ROBERTS [Parents] was born 1818 in TN. He died Unknown. Andrew married Rebecca B. WILLIAMS.
I feel certain but have no proof that Andrew is a brother to William H. He is living next door to him in the 1860 Giles Co. census.
Information on children are taken from the 1860 census.The 1880 Giles Co. census shows a J.B. Roberts below with Mary V.A. and shows him as a son in law. So Mary must have married a cousin.
Rebecca B. WILLIAMS was born 1826 in TN. She died Unknown. Rebecca married Andrew ROBERTS.

You don't know anything about Jennie C Williams who married Jacob W Lemmons Jul 21 1906? I can't find anything about her. According to my grandmother she took off before 1930 moved to St Louis and ran a boarding house. She is buried here in Evansville, In next to Jacob with the last name Griffin so she must have remarried. I can't seem to find anything about her parents and didn't know if you knew? I also sent you a invite to my family tree take what ever you need off of it.
