    • Sabine County, Texas Affidavit of B. R. Payne, sworn on August 25, 1927 and witnessed by Edna Whitehead, Notary Public. B. R. Payne was age 74 at that time, and a livelong resident of Sabine County, living about two miles south of Geneva. He was also a grandson of William Roberts "who once owned a league of land lying partly in Sabine and partly in San Augustine Counties, near the town of Tebo. From family history I understand that William Roberts died about 1836, in San Augustine County. His wife was Sarah Roberts, my grandmother. After my Grandfather's death my Grandmother married a man by the name of Tanner who lived with her a few years and then, I understand, abandoned her. My Grandmother and Tanner had no children. So far as I know, my grandfather William Roberts was never married but the once and my Grandmother was married only twice as set out above. My Grandmother, Sarah Roberts, died before I can remember, sometime before the Civil War." At the end of his affidavit, he stated his information was given partly by actual knowledge and the remainder from family history.

      He went on to state that "The children of William Roberts and his wife, Sarah, were four in number:

      1) Talitha Stevenson, who married James Stevenson.
      2) Neriza Goodloe, who married Dr. R.K. Goodloe.
      3) Urza Ann Payne, who married B. W. Payne, my father.
      4) W. P. Roberts
