• Notes

  Married: "Twenty-year old Matthew C. Roberts, already on his way to becoming a successful entrepreneur like his uncle, soon found reasons to make regular business trips (from Terrell) to Dallas in order to see Emily Griffith...who had moved there from Terrell. They were married at the end of 1890, but like many of their contemporaries, the newlyweds continued living with their parents for awhile." (Henson and Parmelee, p. 301).
