Hi Ken,
We have two generations of Roberts originating in Northern Ireland, the second of whom settled in Allegheny County, PA. I’m not aware of either ending up in Ohio. Family scholar Dan Norris and I have most everything we know listed on the “Table of Contents” page. Have a look and let us know what you find in the future. Thanks for your interest,
Larry
