"JOHN ROBERTS. John Roberts, of evesham, New Jersey, was born about
the close of the year 1712. Having yeilded in younger like to the
cleansing, illumination visitations of Divine Grace, he was prepared
for usefulness in the church both by example and precept. He was
appointed an elder, and his life and conversation were consistent with
the Truth he had been convinced of, and the profession which he made
in the world. In the various social and religious engagements to which
he was called in life, he was a good example, kind as a husband,
helpful as a neighbor, cheerfully hospitable to all, and lovingly
active
in serving the widow and fatherless. His death, which was a sudden
one, was much lamented. He departed this life, Ninth month 15th, 1770,
being in the fifty-eight year of his age." [Volume 35 Page 140]
