Captain Moon denied that the men were British.

George Roberts married Elizabeth (surname unknown). He was a sawyer (carpenter or timber mill worker) after the war. Later, he was recorded as living with a 50 year old Black woman named Dianna. He isn't recorded as having children.
George lived to the age of 95 (1766 -- 1861). His estate at the time was valued at $100 and his real estate holdings in Canton, a part of Baltimore, were valued at $400. His obituary in the Baltimore Sun, published on January 16, 1861, said "Thus has passed away a man whose patriotism, good sense and high moral character have won for him many friends for whom the news of his death will cause heartfelt sorrow. He was among those who took up arms in defense of the city in 1814, and throughout his long life was always highly thought of by the citizen soldiery. Though laboring under the weight of so many years, his carriage was erect, he never appeared on parade except in uniform and it was one of his highest aspirations to still be considered one of the defenders of his native city should the necessity have arrived to take up arms in its defense."

My great grandfather, William Obie Roberts always told this story of meeting my great grandmother Willie Mae Poore. Grandma had taken Miss Addie to church in the wagon and while they were there a storm had come up and a tree was blocking their path on the way home. Grandpa came up on them on horseback. He saw Grandma and he said "her black eyes were just a shinin'. He guided her horse and wagon around the tree. They were married on March 4, 1914 in a horse and buggy in Steubenville, KY.

Jackson and Susie Clark lived in Oil Valley,Wayne Co.,KY.(formerly known as Coffey Valley until oil was discovered on the property in 1901.)They had 13 children. Jackson had quite a sense of humor and they say he was the reason the term "the Roberts giggle" was coined. It has been passed down through the generations. They are both buried on the "Old Homestead" property.
