Notes
a. Note:   Per 1860 Census:
 Henry and Sarah Roads owned a farm in Clay Township with a value of $6000, where they lived with their seven children, including Daniel (10). Also in the household was David Williams (38), a farm laborer. Henry's and Sarah's ages and Henry's birthplace of Virginia (although not Sarah's) match those of Henry Valentine Roads and Sarah Moberly.
  Per 1880 Census:
 H. V. Roads and Sarah Roads lived near Daniel Roads in Clay Township, Highland County. Also in their household was a ward, Anna Link (maybe Fink), age 12. Nearby were three households of Moberlys, all younger than Sarah (Moberly) Roads.
  From Christine Julliard via Mary Julliard Hogan, from a 1955 book on the history of Buford, Ohio (Identical data as page 41 of History of Clay Township, Highland County, Ohio 1805-1955):
 Henry V Roads was two weeks old when his family started west from Virginia, eventually settling in Ohio. In 1841, he and his wife Sarah Moberly settled in the northern part of Clay Township, Highland County, according to the Mercer Survey. The property they moved to was known later for many years as the Jim Martin farm, named for the husband of Henry V Roads' granddaughter. By 1955, the farm had been owned by the same family for 115 years. Henry eventually acquired a "large acreage of improved land" for his farm. Henry and Sarah had fourteen children, seven of whom died in childhood.
  History of Clay Township, Highland County, Ohio 1805-1955, page 41:
 As a young man, Henry V. Roads was a mathematics teacher in the county schools. He later turned to farming.
  From State Centennial History of Highland County, Ohio, pg. 449:
 "Henry V. [Roades}...was born in Virginia in 1816, was reared and educated in Highland county, and in early manhood was quite successful as a teacher of mathematics in the county schools. He married Sarah Moberly...and made his home in the old Evans place on Clear Creek, and not long afterward in Clay township, where he first bought a hundred acres. He also prospered in business, being a man of great resource and adaptability, and was noted as one of the most successful farmers of the county. He was a life-long member of the Methodist church and a valued member of society. Fourteen children were born to Henry and Sarah Roades..."
