In Reply to: Elijah and Forester Roach by: Vicki Burress Roach
I have copy of Henry Roach's probate, in which his children are named. Henry's wife was Frances "Frankie" Hudson, dau. of Forester Hudson. I am descended from his son, James Roach who married Mary Brown. At the time of settlement of the estate Berry was out of state (I guess in Mississippi) and when he claimed his share (after the Civil War ended) it was worthless because it had been invested in Confederate treasury notes. His dau. Nancy married Thomas Elrod. Henry Roach of Franklin Co., GA died ca 1859. His estate papers are quite lengthy. His heirs were: James Roach of Whitfield Co. Forrester Roach William Roach daughter who married Thomas Elrod Elias Roach Berry Roach (not mentioned until 1867 when he refused to accept Confederate currency as his share of the inheritance). (I descend from him and he was living in Tippah Co., MS at that time and they had difficulty locating him.) Albert could have been a son but wasn't listed in the estate papers. However, Henry is residing with him in 1850 so he's likely some relation???)

Jo Jenkins found this. She died and Sydne Lee Roach West inherited her research. Jo was working on a Roach book but evidently never completed it. I have been turning this house upside down trying to find Jo's citations. I have a note from Jo that "Frankie" Roach inherited land from Forester Hudson. The abstracts of Deed Book C-1 Wilkes Co. 16 Apr. 1788 Forest Hudson to Daniel Yarnall 70 acres on N side of Yadkin River...John Brown's line...said land granted Henry Hudson 25 Mar. 1780, "which land by decease of Henry Hudson hath descended to Forrist Hudson as his heir at law." Elizabeth Hudson, widow of Henry Hudson, relinquished dower. Jo also sent a note that Henry Hudson was in Amelia Co. VA in Nottaway Parish in 1763 with 1 Poll and 210 acres. Sydne's e-mail is roach1945slee@hotmail.com She should be able to send the other source citations. I have not worked this lines in a number of years and a little rusty about knowing exactly where my records are. If I find more on the Hudsons will let you know.
