Dr. Willis Roberts Runs for State Treasure


Dr. Willis Roberts’ Role in government

No matter what the political influences were, it is apparent that the Roberts family played a hand in politics. Joel Ninde’s great-grandfather Dr. Willis Roberts was a personal secretary for the first governor of Alabama, William Wyatt Bibb, in 1818 and also ran in the first election for state treasure, losing by twenty votes.
