Notes
a. Note:   From "History of Highland County, Ohio, from the Earliest Days" (Klise 1902):
 "James P. Roberts, for many years past one of the most prominent farmers of White Oak township, was born, SeptembeT 30, 1831, on the farm now owned by his brother, Alfred. He is a grandson of Isaiah Roberts, a native of Pennsylvania, who married Elizabeth Lewis in that state, and a few years later removed to Ross county, Ohio, settling at Chillicothe in 1810. Isaiah Roberts was a brick mason, and after he came to Highland county about 1813 he built the first brick house in the county. On coming to this region he bought three hundred acres of land, including the site of Taylorsville, which was platted by his son,. Isaiah, in November, 1840. By his first wife he had five children who grew up-James, Mary, Abrara, Nancy and Isaiah, all now deceased. After the death of their mother he married a widow, Mrs. Bottleman, who brought to his home the four children of her first husband. Isaiah Roberts, the pioneer, was an industrious man, intelligent and active, and became the owner of a considerable estate. He lived to the age of eighty-four years, and was sincerely mourned by many friends. His son, James Roberts, born in Pennsylvania in 1794, was active and well known among the younger men of the pioneer settlement, and manifested his enterprise in youth by running a distillery, then a very common industry, and constructing the first tannery in Highland county. He married Mary E. Bottleman, daughter of his father's second wife, and they had fourteen children-Isaiah and Judah, deceased ; Elizabeth, widow of Samuel Mitchell; Thomas, William, Christopher and Abram, deceased ; John, of White Oak ; Mary A., wife of John Crampton; James P., whose name heads this sketch; Alfred, Margaret, deceased ; Clinton and Nelson. Their mother died in 1854, and alxuit four years later he married Mrs. Eliza McNally Miller. James Roberts continued in the management of his tannery for a quarter of a century, and realized handsome profits from this pioneer industry. He became the owner of over one thousand acres of land, and was considered one of the most prosperous men of his day in his township. He was loyal to his country, and served as a soldier in the war of 1812. Finally, after a busy and useful life of seventy years, he passed away.”
