General Notes:
Oregon Pioneer    

Husband of Nancy Jane Roberts;

Father of Marshall Roberts

Family Contribution: 

Family lore has it that he led a wagon train from St Louis, but I think he and his family were only part of a train. He, his wife, Nancy Jane Melton, and son, Marshall, came to the Willamette valley via wagon train, I think in the 1850's. He definitely is a pioneer.  His son Marshall returned and joined another wagon train later in the 50's to return to Oregon.  Marshall's son John Nelson Roberts is my grandfather also buried in the cemetery.  (By Mike Proffitt)
