Edward Roberts
     Edward Roberts was born on 1 April 1819 in Cruggion, Alberbury Parish, Montgomeryshire, Wales.1,2 He was the son of Edward Roberts.3 He married Mary Lloyd, daughter of David Lloyd, on 24 March 1848 in Independent Chapel, Welsh Pool, Montgomeryshire, Wales.3 He died on 27 September 1885 in Rockland Township, Venango County, Pennsylvania, at age 66.1,2 He was buried in Rockland Cemetery, Rockland Township.1
     The name of Edward's first wife is unknown.
     Persuaded by his brother William, Edward Roberts and Mary set sail for America along with Eddie's sons John and Joseph on 26 May 1851 from Liverpool, England, aboard the ship "Jane."4 According to Aunt Helen Steffee and Mary Sanford, the journey was very miserable and when they landed most of their possessions had disappeared. When they arrived in Rockland Township, Venango County, they were very disappointed and wanted to return to Wales, but did not have the money for the return trip.5,6 He filed a Declaration of Intention for naturalization on 16 July 1855 and was naturalized on 25 August 1857 in Franklin, Venango County.7
     Edward Roberts purchased 59 acres in Rockland Township, Venango County, in 1860 from Elihu and Isabel Chadwick.8 He purchased 105 acres in Rockland Township in 1862 from Arnold and Margaret Plumer.9 He and his family probably lived on this farm from the time they first arrived in Rockland Township. Edward built a log house for his family to live until he had the opportunity to purchase the land.10
     Edward Roberts was a farmer and raised draft horses which were known for their strength and endurance. They were sold to customers as far away as Pittsburgh.11,5 When Edward's two sons enlisted in the Union army during the Civil War, he was told that if his boys went away to war, his house would burn down. As predicted the house did burn down. Eddie commissioned a Mr. Porter, a barn builder from across the river, to rebuild the house. Mr. Porter built the two story house in exchange for a team of horses raised by Eddie. That house stood until 1986 when it was torn down and replaced by a modern structure. Eddie's great-granddaughter Mary Sanford still lives on his land.11,5
     Edward Roberts and Mary were members of the Rockland Methodist Episcopal Church.12
     When he died in 1885, Edward Roberts left his property in Rockland Township to his three surviving children. John was bequeathed a twenty-acre farm known as "Pottawottamic" where he was already living. The remaining property was to be divided among all three.13 Since he received the 20-acre farm from his father, an unknown person sold his share of the remaining property to his sisters Sarah and Lizzie for $460. Lizzie and her husband John T. Sanford took the eighty-six acres of land on the north side of the road where the house was located. Sarah and her husband Wilbert L. Smith took the seventy-seven acres located on the southern side of the road where the barn stood. The entire farm is still owned by descendants of Eddie and Mary.14
     Edward Roberts was to have been tall, had strawberry-red hair, light blue eyes and very white, freckled skin.6,5
