ROBERT WILLIS ROEBUCK - 189
MARTHA JOANNAH BARBER - 202
ROBERT WILLIS ROEBUCK was the only child of Willis Roebuck and
Elizabeth Lemon. His mother died either at his birth or within the first
year of his life in DeKalb Co., Georgia. He was still residing there in 1845
when his father petitioned the will of his Grandfather Robert Lemon. A copy
of the petition follows this history. Perhaps there was a disagreement
between Willis and ROBERT, because they went their separate ways. There
was no indication their paths crossed again.
ROBERT WILLIS ROEBUCK married MARTHA JOANNAH BARBOUR
October 2, 1853, in Rome, Floyd Co., Georgia. They were residing in
Calhoun, Gordon Co., Georgia on the 1860 Census.
ROBERT was in the Hardware and Tinsmithing business with his son-in-
law Patrick Henry Conaway in Rome, Georgia. Their place of business
was between two rivers. Patrick Conaway's son, Herbert Conaway, told
that containers of red paint used for painting barns were spilled over the
contents of the hardware store during one flood. A couple of floods
virtually ruined their business. Since the merchandise was destroyed,
they decided to give up the business. They left with thousands of dollars
owed to them and moved to Grayson County, Texas, probably about 1891.
Herbert Conaway said they came on a train from Rome to Chattanooga to
Grayson County--he was still nursing a bottle at the time. His brother
James Monroe Conaway told how they loaded everything--even the stove--
on covered waggons to bring down to Texas. They first stopped at
Whiteright, Texas. ROBERT WILLIS ROEBUCK later moved to Tyler,
Smith Co., Texas, and opened a tinsmithing shop. His son-in-law Patrick
Henry Conaway took up farming. ROBERT lived in Tyler until his death in
1913.
A story is told through the family that JOANNAH was to marry a wealthy
man, but ran off on her wedding night to marry ROBERT. Her father made
her sister marry the nam. Her father never approved of ROBERT and
disinherited them.
----------
R. W. ROEBUCK'S masonic records show that he was in Calhoun in
1856. It's not clear when either the Roebucks or Conaways moved from
Calhoun to Rome. Probably both families lived there by the time of the
marriage (1876) of Mattie E. Roebuck & Pat Conaway.

Court of Ordinary January Term 1845
Georgia To the honorable the Justices of the Inferior
Court of said DeKalb County
County when being a court of ordinary
The petition of ROBERT ROBUCK, an Infant, under the age of twenty
one year, who sues by his next friend, Willis Robuck, both of said county
respectfully showeth that on or about the twenty first day of December in
the year eighteen hundred and forty three, Robert Lemon late of said
county departed this life and that the said Robert Lemon at the time of his
death was possessed of a considerable estate both real and personal and
that your petitioner is the son and only child of Elizabeth Robuck,
formerly Elizabeth Lemon, daughter of the said Robert Lemon, and
as such is entitled to one equal distributive share of the estate of the said
Robert Lemon with his other children & distributive provided the said
Robert died intestate and your petitioner further showeth that James
Lemon of the County of Cobb in said State, a son of the said Robert Lemon
did at the January term in the year 1844 of the Court of Ordinary in the
County of DeKalb, produce before said court, a certain instrument in
writing, purporting to be the last will and testament of the said Robert
Lemon, of which the said James Lemon was appointed executor, and then
and there caused the same to be proven in common form which was
afterwards to wit on the fifth day of March in the year last aforesaid
admitted to record. And your petitioner in fact saith that the said
instrument in writing is not the last will and testament of the said Robert
Lemon deceased & ought to be set aside and declared null and void for the
following reasons "1st because at the time of the execution of said
instrument, the said Robert Lemon was of unsound mind and incapable of
making a will, 2nd Because the said Robert Lemon never did sign, seal,
publish & declare the said instrument as his last will and testament, 3rd
Because at the time of signing said instrument the said Robert Lemon was
wholly ignorant of its contents, the same never having been read to him or in
his presence, 4th Because the said Robert Lemon was induced to sign said
instrument by the fraudulent representations of James Lemon as to its
contents, 5th Because said Instrument was procured by undue influence
exercised by James Lemon, who was thereby constituted one of the
principal legatees, wherefore your petitioner prays this honorable court to
grant him an order, calling upon the said James Lemon to be and appear
before said court, on the first Monday in March, next, to prove said will in
solemn form and show cause if any he can, why said will should not be
annulled set aside and declared void & your petitioner will pray do.
