    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].
