      Family History

      The Roberts, McAnally and Shelton families have been neighbors in Virginia, Tennessee and Arkansas over a span of many years. However, we have yet to prove how the past generations are linked beyond the connections in Arkansas.

      Notes for MOSES ROBERTS: "Re A.H. Roberts, he could be either one of ours, or one of Edward's. Of my relations, Moses Roberts' (my great-grandfather) family arrived in Lawrence County and settled around Ash Flat (Sharp County as of 1868) ca 1848. His brother Josiah and some of his family arrived in the area ca1860. One of Moses' sons, Granville, had a farm in Fulton County and Josiah and his son John both homesteaded very close to Granville. I think adjacent, and again I have that data someplace."

      In our family, my grandfather John Stacy Roberts was the only member to serve in the Confederate Army. His father & brothers were all Union sympathizers. John S. was apparently not all that dedicated either as he was listed as a deserter the day after the Union Army overran Little Rock. Captured by the Union in February 1864, he refused to be part of the prisoner exchange program and spent from May to December 1864 in Union POW Camp at Rock Island, Illinois. He signed the loyalty oath on December 18 and was released. Evidently his war record was not held against him as he was elected to two terms as Sheriff of Izard County (1882 - 1886).
