Seeking ancestors and descendants of James Henry ROBERTS born 1859, married Josephine L. JACO, born 1868. Their children were Jesse, born 1888; Helen Marie, born May 1905; Sally (Sarah?), born appx. 1904; Emmet, born 1909/1910; and one other child that did not survive to adult. Jesse may have been the son of "either" James Henry or Josephine by a former marriage as his date of birth is 4 years prior to date of marriage for James Henry and Josephine. Believe Jesse and possibly Emmet were in Calif. in 1920 and then probably returned to Tennessee as an adult. Believed family members still living in Warren County area and would like to correspond with them. Any information/help greatly appreciated. Thank you.
