    • Robert and William Patrick Roach lived with their mother, Josie. Josie was also counted on the 1940 census in the Lipscomb County, TX home of her brother Samuel Scott Riffle. Most likely she was visiting her brother when the census taker came to the house, and she actually lived with her sons in Oklahoma.
