Martha PREWITT and John Roebuck VICE

Thanks to Lewis Vice and Sabra Sudberry

This came from "History of Friendship Baptist Church, Oxford, AL":
"Those received into the Friendship Church in 1840 were: John Vice and Mary Vice
Received by experience and baptism: 1846 Martha Vice and Robuck Vice, Phillip Prewitt.

Husband: John Roebuck Vice

LifeNotes: He was known as Roebuck Vice. John Roebuck may have been the boy that my Aunt Louise Nicol Hendon wrote about in her Bible: as a boy of 14 at the time of the Revolutionary War, he ran away from home to become a soldier but since he was so young, he was made a water boy. Appears on the 1810, 1820, 1830 census for Spartanburg Co., SC. After he grew up, he married Martha and they went to Benton, now Calhoun Co., AL.
