ROBERSON, ROBERTSON posted by Ralph Roberson on Monday, December 24, 2001: Is there a record for Charles Roberson or George Robertson/Roberson in the 1850 Cencus. I thought I had found George about 10 years ago, but cannot find the copy, bad as it was, it was still the best I could obtain. Charles Roberson was supposed to have had 160 acres 2 miles east of Alton, and one 1/2 mile north. Sold before 1960 for $340.50. The fifty cents must have been the kicker.
