She died in Paragould in 1929 . They moved to Paragould in 1910 , her mother Mary Ann Wright was the daughter of Lucy Ann Newman and George Washington Wright . There are no, records of Robert Roberts just family stories. Lucinda Roberts , Sister of Susan had a picture of Robert , I am told he was in Indian clothing . Lucinda married a Blackwood also from Finch , I remember her and three sons , Delton , Jeff and Marcus Blackwood.
Catharine Widner 's 1816 - 1844 burial is unknown but her family called her Kate . The Kate Widner listed above was thought to be that of Catherine but the dates don't match up.
