== Biography ==
In early life Ephraim Roberts,Sr. along with his family went to Tennessee, where he reared his children on an old plantation worked by slaves. His first wife was Nancy Harris and she bore her husband a dozen children, but died before all of them grew to maturity. Ephraim Roberts, Sr. was one of the old-time men of the south. He carried on his farm with slave labor, owned and operated a distillery, as was customary with men of means in those days, and seems to have been a robust figure.
