• In the register of St. Andrews Presbyterian Church – burial of Mary, “wife of Isaac Roberts” died 26 May 1811 age about 71 years. One of the witnesses at this burial was Jonathan Eckart who is not otherwise identified but who was probably the Father of WRE who had married Elizabeth Roberts in 1794.22

• PUTATIVE: Mary Sproat leaves William Nelson and goes to live with neighbor Isaac Roberts, ca. 1772. They have children of their own, so now it’s a blended family.8333

• Then, William (Guillaume) Nelson dies c. 1791. Yay! So now Mary Sproat is free to marry and she and Isaac Roberts get married in 1792. She is listed as a spinster, not a widow.8333
