Based on the wording of her marriage document referring to John Sr, it has been largely assumed that it was John Alexander Roberts. However, just a cursory look at the time frames makes it immediately clear that she could not have been John A Roberts' daughter unless he married a second time - and I've found no reason to believe that - however, that is certainly credible. She died before 1848 at the age of 83 in Amherst Co, VA.232,233 Many researchers have decided that the Elizabeth Henson that died in Georgia is this Elizabeth. Murry Henson died - apparently without a wife as she was not mentioned - nor were any of his other children except son Elliott and grandson Roderick. And there is nothing to suggest that she ever migrated from Virginia to Georgia - however, one of Murry's brothers did. I am assuming that she died prior to his death because she is not mentioned in the will or the probate. I have this listed as the daughter of John A Roberts Sr - just like the document says - but I'm very skeptical about this - I think this is almost the next generation - or some dates (can prove which ones) are incorrect. Or this is the wrong Elizabeth...
