Subject: Family tree of John Roberts

Hello, We do not know each other... but according to a search I did on Mytrees.com... we may have family ties "somewhere". The computer says our trees link at a John Roberts born about 1634 or 1633 according to your info on your tree. I show John Roberts born about 1634 having a son named Andrew born in 1657, mother unknown. Andrew married a Ann Andrews, they had John (bn 1678), Elizabeth, Ann, Andrew. John married a Elizabeth and they had John, George, Henry, William, James. John (bn 1702) married a woman named Elizabeth and they had John and James. John (bn1745) married a Elizabeth. They had Johnathan, John, James, Franky, Joshua, Patsy, Pleasant, George, Jeremiah. Johnathan (bn 1774) married Nancy Davis, they had Logan, Frederick, Thompson, Celia, Elizabeth, Hugh, Thomas, Nancy, Nathan, Leatha. Logan married a Susan Fleming and they had Celia, Mary, Bettie, Susan, Johnathan, Margaret, Emma, Ada, Logan. Celia married a Boston McGee born in 1846. Boston than had a son named Roy and he had a son named Ronald... and he fathered me.

Any way I was wondering if you had any further information on the Roberts family that I am over looking. Maybe a child I am over looking... to see if our family tree lines match or not. Right now I don't see but how the names John Roberts match... I have no info on his wife.
