From there he came to Vigo county in 1829, and became a resident of Lost Creek township. By energy and economy he became the owner of 900 acres of land, which he divided with his children, giving to each of his sons 100 acres, and to each daughter 75 acres. He has retained enough to keep him as long as he lives. In 1829 he married Lucinda ROBERTS, who was born in North Carolina in 1809. The result of their marriage has been four sons and four daughters: Elisha, Nancy, Mary J., Joseph, Julia, Dixon, Thomas, and Sarah J.

    Notes:

    ROBERDS/ROBERTS In what may have been the first act of violence by a
    Lumbee Indian in current Robeson County, James Roberts shot James
    McCullam five times 29 Jan. 1754, in S1. Martin's Parish, Bladen County.
    The murder came to court I Feb. 1754 (Secretary of State, Committee of
    Claims, Coroner's Inquests, 1738-1775, SS 316, N.C. Archives). Reuben
    Roberts of Bladen sold two tracts of 310 acres north and northeast of
    Drowning Creek to Thomas Owen 6 July 1773 (Deed Book B, 29-30). He
    lived near Soloman James and Richard Smith. Ishmael Roberts, probably
    Lumbee, was living on Saddletree Swamp near Jacob Blount, Phillip Blount,
    Robert Willis, John Baggett and Thomas Ivey before 12 July 1788 (Deed
    Book A, 282-283). He bought 185 additional acres from Lewis Jenkins 15
    Oct. 1790 east of Saddletree Swamp (B, 166-168). He appears on Saddletree
    Swamp in the 1790 census. Ishmael patented 100 acres east of Raft Swamp
    adjacent to fellow Lumbee Thomas Jackson, Lewis and Edward Jenkins 26
    Nov. 1789 (B, 314, H, 109-110). Two Roberts families, Sampson and
    Etheldred, age 55-100, and both Mulatoe were in the 1830 census of
    Robeson. Several families named Roberts, all listed as mulatto, appear near
    each other in the 1850 census close to the Lumbee families of Hammonds,
    Revels, Briant, Jacobs and Chavis. All six families were listed as mulatoe.
    Roberts was listed as an Indian name in Lumberton e township in the 1870
    census of Robeson. The name was self-identified as Indian in the 1900
    Census of Robeson. One family was listed in the 1900 Indian Census
    Schedule in Robeson County. Lucy Roberts Harris, daughter of White Troy
    Roberts Jr. of Lumberton, came from an affluent family. Her brother, Larry
    Roberts, was a longtime police chief in Pembroke. Roberts was listed as
    Indian in the 1930 census of Pembroke Township. Death records show the
    Indian name of Roberts in 1916 in Lumberton and Pembroke townships.
    They were related to the Oxendine and Smith families. See Native Visions,
    Lumberton, N.C., August, 2005, for Lumberton family of Roberts. Cited at
    Deep Branch Cemetery and New Bethel Methodist Church cemetery,
    Fairmont, by Jane Blanks Barnhill, Sacred Grounds, 2007, a listing of 162
    Lumbee cemeteries of Robeson County.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Ishmael1 Roberts, born say 1755, was head of a Robeson County household of 10 "other free" in 1790 [NC:50], 15 in 1800 [NC:415], and 14 in Chatham County in 1810 [NC:195]. He received pay for Revolutionary War service from 3 June 1777 to 3 June 1778 as a private in Colonel Abraham Shepherd's Company. Colonel Shepherd gave him a certificate which stated that he was furloughed at Head Quarters Valley Forge to come home with me who was Inlisted in my Regement for the Term of three years - and Returned Home with me [NCGSJ XV:105]. He entered 100 acres in Robeson County on the north side of Saddle Tree Swamp on 5 September 1787, 100 acres on the north side of Five Mile Branch and 100 acres on the east side of Raft Swamp on 14 February 1788, and 100 acres on the west side of Five Mile Branch on 22 January 1793 [Pruitt, Land Entries: Robeson County, I:7, 13, 70]. He sold land by deed proved in Robeson County on 5 January 1801 and purchased land by deed proved in Robeson County on 6 July 1803 [Minutes I:130, 256]. On 18 February 1804 he purchased two tracts of land in Chatham County, one of 250 acres on Bear and Bush Creeks for $450, a second of 100 acres on the waters of the Cape Fear River for $150, and he purchased a further 57 acres on Bush Creek for 75 pounds on 9 January 1805 [DB N:456, 437; M:641]. The sheriff sold 260 acres of this land on 12 February 1808 for a debt of about 16 pounds [DB P:118]. However, Ishmael repurchased this same 260 acre tract for about 17 pounds on 14 August 1811. And he purchased 102 acres on Little Lick Creek on 10 April 1818 [DB S:26; V:131]. On 8 and 12 February 1825 he sold (signing) most of his land to his sons: Richard, James, and Aaron [DB AB:166, 221; AA:275]. By his 12 July 1826 Chatham County will, he left his land on the west side of Bush Creek to his wife Silvey and then to his grandson Ishmael, oldest son of Zachariah. He also left one dollar to a list of persons, no relationship stated (who were identified as his children in his May 1829 Estate Papers), and he willed that his land where John Archie (Archer, his son-in-law) was living was to be sold and divided among his wife and a second list of persons (which included members of the first list), no relationship stated, and left $20 for the schooling of his grandson Thomas Roberts [CR 022.801.16]. When the will was offered for probate in the Tuesday, May 1827 session of the Chatham County court, the jury ruled that it was his will as regards his personal property but not as regards his real estate [Minutes 1822-27, n.p.]. A committee was appointed to settle the problem, and their report was recorded in the Monday, May 1828 session [Minutes 1828-33]. His estate papers listed seventeen persons and called them his children, but at least two of them, Ishmael and Elias, were probably his grandchildren [North Carolina Archives Estate Papers, Chatham County].

    Notes:

    James Stewart, born say 1750, was living in Brunswick County, Virginia, on 11 January 1774 when he and Littleberry Pompey of Sussex County purchased 270 acres in Meherrin Parish, to be equally divided between them as if two separate deeds had been made. He purchased 50 acres on the north side of the Maherrin River in Brunswick County adjoining Richard Branscomb and Thomas Evans on 23 November 1778 [DB 11:251-3; 13:280]. He was taxable in Meherrin Parish, Brunswick County, from 1782 to 1796 [PPTL 1782-98, frames 19, 206, 271, 325, 401, 497, 543]. On 26 January 1778 he and Littleberry Pompey and wife Nanny Pompey (James's sister?) sold 135 acres in Meherrin Parish, Brunswick County, adjoining Steward's Branch. And on 15 August 1792 James and his wife Sarah sold for 50 pounds 137 acres on Buckwater Creek in Meherrin Parish, Brunswick County, adjoining Dempsey Stewart's land [DB 13:45; 15:498]. He may have been the James Stewart who married Sally Evans, 2 May 1791 Warren County, North Carolina bond, Eaton Walden bondsman. James and his wife Sarah sued (his brother) William Stewart and his wife Keziah in Brunswick County on 23 November 1795, but the case was dismissed at the defendant's costs [Orders 1795-8, 1, 211]. He was head of a Wake County household of 6 "other free" in 1800 [NC:798]. By his Wake County will, proved in November 1824, he left his land to his children: Evans, Beedy (married James Walden), Mackey (married Joel Stuart), Tazewell, Dickson, Elijah, and Elisha [WB 19:130]. His children were

    ii. Beedy, married James Walden.

    iii. Mackey, married Joel Stuart, 2 January 1821 Wake County bond.

    iv. Tazewell.

    • Reference Number: 1499

    Notes:

    Evans is a surname found in Bladen in 1168 and 1790.
    David and Theophilus Evens were located in current Bladen in 1189.
    Elizabeth Evans was located east of Great Swamp by 1780. In the 1850
    census of Robeson they reported having been born in Richmond County by
    1800. White (1988) feels that those named Evans possibly descended from
    Saponi Indians living next to the plantation of Col. William Eaton in
    Granville County in the 1750s. The name was given as mulatto in Robeson
    but most carrying the name Evans have typically been White and Scottish as
    found in north Robeson near St. Pauls. Name self-identified as Indian in the
    1900 Census of Robeson and listed on the 1900 Indian Census Schedule.
    Death records show the Indian name in 1954 in Maxton township. Cited at
    New Prospect Methodist Church cemetery and elsewhere by Jane Blanks
    Barnhill in Sacred Grounds, 2007, a listing of 162 Lumbee cemeteries in
    Robeson County.

    Notes:

    Kinchen2, born say 1784, head of a Chatham County household of 6 "other free" in 1810 [NC:195]. On 15 August 1821 he purchased 154 acres in Chatham County on the south side of Cape Fear River near the Ferry Road and Drake's land for $430 and sold this land seven years later on 25 December 1828 for $200. On 3 April 1829 he sold the 150 acres on Bush Creek which he received as one of the heirs of (his father?) Ishmael Roberts [DB X:320; AB:134, 186]. He was head of a Lost Creek Township, Vigo County, Indiana, household in 1850. He was a sixty-five-year-old, born in Virginia, with $3,000 estate, living with Nancy, fifty-eight years old, born in North Carolina [Household no. 202].

    ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
    The buying power of a $3,000 in 1850, would be equal to over $500,000 in value in 2012. The property value of 200+ acres in 2012, would be close to $1, 000,000. Kinchen was affluent in North Carolina, before coming to Lost Creek, and even more so after settling here. The Roberts family resided on Indian Reservation property in Robeson County, North Carolina, and are counted as Indian, on the Lumbee Tribal rolls. Being affluent, the Roberts family were also slave OWNERS, while residing in North Carolina.

    Kinchen married Nancy Chavis. Nancy was born Abt 1792, Virginia, USA; died 7 Feb 1866, Lost Creek, Vigo, Indiana, USA; was buried , Roberts Cemetery, Terre Haute, Vigo, Indiana, USA. [Group Sheet]
