T. B. Roberts
T. B. Roberts, farmer, P. O. West Jefferson. The above gentleman is a son of Sebastian Roberts and brother of John E. Roberts, whose sketch appears in this volume. He was born in Franklin County, Ohio, January 15, 1840, but since two years of age has been resident of Jefferson Township, Madison County. He was raised to farm life and acquired such an education as his facilities warrented. His entire life has been devoted to tilling the soil, and now owns 271 acres of good land, which he cultivates and pastures with his cattle; to the latter he devotes considerable time, and also pays considerable attention to the raising and handling of hogs. He has a beautiful home, which is the old homestead of his grandfather. He remained at home until November, 1862, when he responded to the President's call for troops by enlisting in Company K, Ninety-fifth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, under Capt. Daugherty, and served until almost the close of the war, participating in some of the severst battles. Soon after his return, he married Lucinda H. Zinn, a native of Franklin County, Ohio, where she was born February 20, 1841.
