Notes
- Ropers and Keiths were kin at several levels. This Mary Jane Roper, born in about 1796, married Martin Keith. There was a later Mary JaneRoper, born in about 1824, who mother was a Keith, Sarah Ann Keith, according to some genealogies, daughter of a George Keith. Her mother was Margaret S Mackey, whose father was named Joel Mackey. The Mary Jane Roper born in 1824 married a Sanders D Caruth. Some genealogies appear to have confused some of these different Keiths and Ropers with similar names. I am still working on this.
We have a census report of her and Martin with their family in 1850 and 1860. for full details and discussions see Notes for Martin Keith (born 1792).
