Notes
General:
From a civil Lawsuit filed in Cleveland Co. NC on Aug. 18, 1859. The lawsuit pairs Elizabeth Roberts (wife of Thomas Roberts) against Morris Roberts and his heirs.

"According to Equity Case Elizabeth Roberts of Cleveland County, NC. filed a claim to exclude 50 acres of property from her husband's estate at his death. Elizabeth stated that her father, Jacob Collins, died May 1, 1795. Jacob's heirs were Jacob Collins and his wife, Jane; William Collins and his wife, Ann; Mary and her husband, Young J. Hardin; and Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Roberts. When they had deeds made, they got their uncles, Thomas Martin and Wm. Martin and Neighbor, Captain Abednego Adams to divide and lay off land of Jacob Collins. The group of Collins children, their spouses, William Martin, Thomas Martin, and Abednego Adams worked all day and into the night. William Martin wrote the deeds to each piece of property and dated them September 16, 1809. At that time, Elizabeth disputed her land being deeded to her husband, Thomas Roberts who was a widower with children from his first marriage. At Thomas Roberts' death, Elizabeth filed the above claim to remove her inheritance from her husband's inventory. The date of the depositions in this case was August 10, 1859. Elizabeth stated that she married Thomas Roberts, a widower with children, September 1, 1800."
