Bishop Roberts

Robert Richford Roberts - Frontier Bishop
Elizabeth 'Betsey' Oldham - his wife .

"The hunting season of 1798-99 was unusually successful.
Robert and his brother Lewis packed three horses with pelts
and walked beside them from the Little Shenango to Greensburg,
where the pelts were sold to advantage.
The two men hurried on to their home at Ligonier and to the
glamorous associations of their young friends.
Two weeks later, in mid-January of 1799
Elizabeth Oldham and Robert Richford Roberts were married."
The above - written by Worth M. Tippy
