<< Hi, Judy, et al,
     I have a book I bought years ago called OUR FAMILY CIRCLE, by Annie
 Elizabeth Miller of Macon, Georgia, published 1975.  It has a great deal in
 it about the people you are researching. My husband is related to these
 people, so someone recommended I get a copy.   I bought my copy from Dr.
 Robert E. H. Peeples, 8 Moon Shell Road, Hilton Head Island, SC 29928.  It
 has an enormous amount of information in it on all of the families that are
 connected to the Roberts and Dixon lines.  Or maybe you could find it in a
 library.  Good luck.

Hi Joanne,
    When I first looked at the info you sent from the book, I started to say, 
"No, this is wrong!" But then I remembered there were two Elizabeth Dixon's 
and both of them married a John Roberts. I do believe that both Elizabeths 
were from the same family. Now let me see if I can explain the difference 
here.

    The line in the book that you sent the excerpt about are  the descendants 
of  Pierre Robert Jr  (5/8/1675-1731) and Judith Burdeaux Videau (1680-aft. 
1731). Their son Jacques Robert 91711-1774) & Sarah Jaudou (1719-1779), Their 
son John Patriot Robert (1742-1826) & Elizabeth Dixon (1750 -1820).

    My line is from Jean (John) Roberts, b.(1687-1760) (brother of Pierre 
Jr.)  & Elizabeth Dixon (bef 1691 - 1760). their son Dr. John R. Roberts 
(1708-1791) & (wife unknown). Their son Lewis Roberts (1750-1823) and Mary 
(???). Their son John R. "Buttermilk Jack" Roberts (1778-1854 &
Phoebe Weeks O'Steen.

    Pierre Jr. and Jean (John) were the son's of the Rev. Pierre Robert  
(1656-1715) & Jeanne Braye (1660-1717). Rev Pierre founded the French 
Huguenot Church at French Santee, Jamestown Parish, SC in 1796. Other 
siblings were Elias (1679), and Jeanne (1681)
