  • The Roberts family arrived in New York on 5 July 1866 via the ship American Congress. The overland company records only list heads of household, but the notation that Samuel, Sr. purchased 5 1/2 adult food rations indicates that the whole family was with him during this portion of the journey as well.

    Her surname is "Erskine" on the death certificate and Find A Grave website.
