Notes for John ROBERTS
John Roberts was a miller. He probably resided in the Great Valley, Chester County, PA, and also in Merion, Montgomery County, PA. He lost his life by reason of his adherence to the British cause during the Revolutionary War. He was taken prisoner whilst the British army occupied Philadelphia, 1777-78, and charged with acts inimical to the American cause, in which times of heated passions the calm and wise judgement was lost sight of in the struggle for success. Great efforts were made to save his life by his neighbors and friends, near and far, all petitioning in his be half as a good citizen and conscientious man, but mistaken in his course . But it all did not avail and he suffered the extreme penalty of martial law.
