      Roberts.—The next family now to be noticed is the Roberts family. The first of them known to the writer was Redden Roberts and Norton Roberts. They settled on Buck Swamp, near Buck Swamp Bridge. I do not know who the wife of either was, but both married and raised families. Redden Roberts had sons, William D., James, Rowland and Giles.
      ...
      Old man Reddin Roberts was an excellent, quiet citizen; was wealthy before the war, especially in negro property. It was said of him that when he married he had one negro girl about grown, that his wife had one, and on the night of their marriage, his wife's girl had a child ; that from these two girls, at emancipation, he had and had given off some to his children together eighty slaves; that during his married life he had sold two and had bought three, or vice versor—showing how fortunes might be made by raising negroes. It was said he did not work his negroes hard, and fed and clothed them well, hence his negro women "bred like rabbits," as the saying is. He was an exemplary man, lived at home and kept out of debt. ;
