Roberts Sisters

I wanted to add this picture to my blog so that other members of this line could see it. This is a great picture sent to me by a cousin who belongs to this family. He graciously shared a picture of all the daughters of Edward P. Roberts and Ann Price. Other than these ladies there were two brothers, which as of this moment I only have a black & white passport picture for one, Thomas.


From left to right they are:
Front row - Mary Ella "Mamie" Roberts Baumann and Annie Laurie Roberts Turner;

Middle row - Hattie Roberts Eppes, Susannah Elizabeth "Susie" Roberts Young and Elizabeth "Lizzie" Roberts Hambright;


Back row - Catherine Clarissa "Katie" Roberts Evans and Minnie May Roberts Chastain.
