This week a found a small clue as to the Roberts family that may have adopted William H., Glorian & Susan (Hawley) Roberts. In the 1850 & 1860 census records Joseph Pelletier is listed under the name Pelkey. I Noticed in the 1860 census that the last person listed in their household was a 78 year old widow named Hannah Roberts. I know this isn't proof but it makes sense that this lady named Roberts is likely the person who adopted the Hawley orphans. Now I have to find Hannah's husband.
