In 1674, he graduated at St Etienne as a physican; attended the University of Basil, 1862 ordained on 19 Feb. 1682. He was a pastor of a Waldensian church in the Piedmont Valley in Switzerland. It is claimed that the Waldenses were the ancestors of the present day Baptists.He came to the North American Carolina's in 1686 with his wife and son.  Pierre served as the first minister of the Huguenot (later the Anglican, now Episcopal) church at St. James Parish, SC, continuing his ministry until prior to 1 Jan. 1710. He was the first Huguenot minister in America. He was the first rector of St. James Anglican Church, although it is unclear whether he was ordained as such since there was no Anglican Bishop in America at the time. (children: Pierre Peter Robert III; Elias Robert; Jean Roberts and Jeanne Robert).

11~Nathaniel Enoch Roberts Sr B: 1829 D: 1869 M: 1847  Parthenia A. Morgan B: 1830 D: 1872. Daughter of Solomon W. Morgan & Mercy P. Geiger. Nathaniel Enoch Roberts, the last child born to John R. and Phoebe Weeks O'Steen Roberts in 1829.

 It's believed after they moved to Lowndes County, GA. was he was married to Parthenia A. 'Phena' Morgan. She was born in 1830 in Appling County, GA. The daughter of Solomon W. Morgan and Mercy P. Geiger. Their first two children were born in Lowndes County, GA. Early in 1850, they moved to Columbia County, FL. and settled in the area that is now Union County. The 160 acres of land that they settled on, was about 8 miles west of Lake Butler, and straddled what is now county road #100 along Swift Creek. It is where the Owens-Illinois Forest Station is now located. Back in those days, it was open range, and his live stock could roam at-will. He owned just enough land to grow crops. He was also a slave owner, and later on, owned and operated the first general merchandise store and Inn in the young and small town of Lake Butler.  The store and Inn were located about where the old Tomlinson-Maines drug store building was.  He had an 'overseer' to look after the farm and live stock. A man named S.S. Morgan, who was a cousin of Phone's'. Early in life, Nathaniel Enoch Roberts was known as 'Nat', and for the rest of his life he was known by that name. He was on his way to becoming 'Well Fixed' when the Civil War started.  He enlisted in the 2nd FL Cavalry, Company 'K' at Callahan, FL, and served through out the rest of the war. During the war he was wounded, or contacted an illness that afflicted him for the rest of his life. He was paroled at Waldo, FL., in 1865. After the war he served as County Commissioner of Bradford County, during a very trying time. As stated, his health wasn't very good after the war and he died in 1869 as a result of his war wounds. He is buried near his mother and father at Swift Creek Church cemetery. After his death, his wife took over the operation of his estate. She carried on well with this job, until she was accidentally killed while making syrup. She died Nov. 8, 1872 and is buried next to her husband at Swift Creek. Her oldest son, George was made administrator of her estate. (As stated in records at Stark, FL.) After the death of Nathaniel "Nat" Roberts in 1869, the widow Parthena Morgan and her children settled in to operate the extensive Roberts plantation. Their 160 acres lay about six miles west of Lake Butler, and is now split by Highway 100. There were nine children including our subject Nathaniel Enoch, Junior, who was born in 1857. On a crisp fall morning Parthena and the kids were grinding cane for syrup. One of the dogs nosed about underfoot, an irritating and unsanitary situation in Mrs. Roberts' way of thinking. She threw hot syrup on the animal. Her teenaged son Enoch angrily grabbed a stalk of cane and struck his mother, hitting a blood vessel and Parthena died. The lad became "Devil Enoch" who had beaten his mother to death with a stick simply because she had displeased him. The young fellow went into shock for three days, and the family feared he would soon join his mother in death. Only with gentle handling by his family did young Enoch re-enter living. He was never free of the trauma, and it haunted him until he was gunned down in Lake Butler several years later. As soon as he was of legal age, he married Martha Elizabeth, a daughter of William H. Parrish. They began housekeeping with a feather bed, fourteen head of cattle, a horse, and an old shucks saddle. Within a few years Mr. and Mrs. Roberts were tending cattle that ranged over Baker, Bradford (the part now Union), and Columbia Counties. Children began arriving, and there would eventually be eleven by the time Enoch died at age forty-two, with a twelfth on its way. The older children were put to work on the farm and among the livestock herds, saving labor costs. Some of the old-timers said that Enoch also operated a store in the vicinity south of Olustee. Mr. Davis and the late Mr. Clede Harvey related that Devil Enoch also owned a grist mill for grits. The mill existence was just off of Swift Creek Cemetery in Union County and that it was operated by Joe Brannen. Mr. Brannen was instructed to take gold or a sizable amount of the customer's corn as payment. The grits mill was destroyed by the big storm of 1896 and never rebuilt. Devil Enoch Roberts was a paradoxical character. He toted a reputation for being a fearsome man but also was never known to have neglected his family's phyical well being or to have stolen anything that was not his (so stated his widow in later years). In addition to providing well for his family he brought home, about the year 1890, a small Negro boy named Tom Johnas and reared him. In the manner of most white folks of ninety years ago, Mr. Roberts did not provide sleeping quarters for little Tom in a main house but that seemed to be the only difference made. Tom was evidently privy to some of his benefactor's most cherished moments for he had seen Devil Enoch's hiding place for his gold. After Mr. Roberts died and his widow could not discover the main depository of the precious metal, it was young Tom Johnas who directed her to it. Tom Johnas eventually moved away, married, and reared and educated his family. As long as he lived he regularly visited the Widow Roberts. Some of the Roberts grandchildren often mused over the scene, many years later, of Mrs. Roberts in her rocking chair and Mr. Johnas on the porch step and wondered what were their topics of conversation. Parthenia Roberts was killed by her son. After her husband died, she raised the children alone. One day they were boiling sugar cane sap and their dog kept coming around, so she poured hot syrup on the dog. Her son saw her do it, got mad, and hit her in the head with a piece of sugar cane. It killed her instantly. The children were divided among their aunts and uncles, with many of them going to Levy County. No one wanted to take the boy but finally an uncle took him.
