Families covered: Roberts of Bridgetown, Roberts of Brightfieldstown, Roberts of Glassenbury, Roberts of Kilmoney Abbey, Roberts of Stranbally
| Given that the following family was permitted to base its arms on those of the earlier Roberts of Glassenbury, and as the heiress of that family devised Glassenbury into this family, it seems reasonable to assume that the following family was connected to those other Roberts. However, we do not know exactly how the connection arose. | |||||||||||||||
