Potential Genealogy

As everyone knows Catherine McCarty married William Antrim. What's less known is his niece Mary "Polly" Antrim married a James Roberts in Logan County Ohio. This group of Roberts eventually migrates to Iowa and then later generations went to Texas.

I'm thinking a familial link exists between Brushy Bill Roberts and Billy The Kid even if he wasn't Billy The Kid. I've been working on this off and on, but if true, it would explain a lot of things (ie, inside knowledge).

From what I gather James Valentine Roberts (1795-1849) had the following children with Polly: Abel S. Roberts, Mahala Roberts Wallace, James Valentine Roberts, John Roberts, Jesse Roberts, Nancy Dee Roberts, Isaac Roberts, Andrew Jackson Roberts, William Clinton Roberts, Josiah Roberts, Martin Van Buren Roberts, Robert W. Roberts, Mary Jane Roberts and Thomas Jefferson Roberts.

On my research Henry Oliver Roberts father was a Joseph Roberts and his father was an Alexander and his father was a Joseph. I tend to think that the link exists, it's just a matter of bridging the gap.

From what I gather, also, James Valentine Roberts who married Polly, his father was a John Roberts who married a Phoebe Meyers or Moyers. They, too, are buried in Logan County.

Mary Antrim was born in 1794 in Augusta County Virginia and married James Valentine Roberts in 1814. It seems unlikely Mary was the niece of William Antrim, considering she was already 48 years old at the time William Antrim were born. I can not find any family connection between them.
