Documented Roberts Families

This page is a Table of Contents for this surname. Each family link leads to a documented page for that particular family. If names are listed with no links, then I have not created that page yet but plan to at some future date.

The geographic scope of my interest in the Roberts surname is limited to selected counties in eastern North Carolina centered around Wayne County and also in Horry and Marion County South Carolina (see table below for a full listing). My time frame of interest is the 1700's through circa 1860.

If you are interested in this surname in other geographic areas and / or in later time periods then I probably have no data to share at present.

Roberts Families of South Carolina

There were many Roberts families in South Carolina. Some came into SC from Eastern NC, and some may have came from VA. Others may have immigrated direct from England (or somewhere) to Charleston, SC or Wilmington, NC. Immigration records are practically non-existent for those two ports.
