Hello Bonnie,

I have yet to find a connection, if any exists, between the Rollisons of Kent County, MD and the Rollisons of Montgomery County, MD and Loudoun County, VA. The Kent County folks have been documented extensively but unfortunately, I cannot recall the names of the researchers. If you haven't already tried this, google "Rollison's of Kent County, MD" and see what comes up. Have fun.

John, I am a novice trying to trace some ancestory and can go back as far as John W (b.1813 Kent Cty MD) married to Elizabeth Wood (b. 1815). Do you have any information as to the parents of John W?

Hello,
We are researching Mary Rollison(b.Sept. 1879 PA), the youngest daughter of Isaac Rollison (b.abt 1842 Eng) and Maria Barnum (b.abt 1845 PA).

We have Mary's siblings listed as Isaac (b.abt 1866) William (b.abt 1871), Anna (b.abt 1873), Sadie (b.abt 1876). Are these names and dates correct?

We have the line forward from Mary (b.1879 PA.)through her marriage, children and death. Happy to share if you are interested.

June 1775, Kent Co. MD. Men who joined the Continental Army and gave their Oath of Allegiance. The original, faded, almost illegible Militia list has at last to rest at the H. Historical Society to allow those interested to look at it. Two of them are James Rollison, 1st Lt.,8th Company & John Rollison, Ensign, 6th Company. There are many Rollisons today in Kent Co. Maryland. James, oldest son of John Rollison Sr., had a daughter born 1759. John Rollison Sr. came from England (no date) and was Scots-Irish.

This information is from the first page of my Rollison Ancestry book, containing information provided by many, gathered and compiled by my sister the late Ruth Jackson, Clay City, IN.

I hope this helps with your quest.

I am sorry that it has taken me forever to respond. You are the person to whom I gave the incorrect information. I did give this correction to Steve in England (Stampshop) a couple of years ago. He said that you two were in touch. Contact me off the board (guitar2@nauticom.net) and I'll explain why our disconnect happened. I've also acquired lots more info since then.

Hello, I check Rootsweb, every so often to see if there is any "new" news on my family. I found this message today. I am a descendant of Benjamin Rollison through his son Isaac b.Mar 8 1842(some sources say May), who married Maria Barnum. Jacob Rollison from Monongahela, was his brother. I would be interested in any new information you have on Benjamin, and thank you for the correction on Jacob. Have we been in contact in the past? My mother was in contact with a David Rollison, a descendant of Jacob. Actually my mother's family and the Rollison's of Moniongahela were quite close years ago.
Thank you again,

I do not recognize the name, but I am looking for information on the Rollison family. My gg grandfather lived in Anderson County, SC. He was born about 1832 and died in the Civil War. His name was Benjamin G. Rollison. I know nothing about his family - parents, siblings, etc. I am trying to find out if he had family in the Mississippi area. I found a J G Rollison listed on the 1860 census as living in Hinds County, MS, and he was born in SC. He does not show on the 1870 census. Can you help me?

Hi Joan,
My grandfather was born around 1880-1890 and died around 1952. The three children were Robert, Katherine, and Daisey Lee. I never knew were he was born.

Robert, my father, had six children: Katherine, Priscilla, Gloria, Robert, and James Michael. He married Elizabeth Mathis in 1946. My aunt, Katherine, is the only remaining child and lives in North Carolina.

I will try and see what she remembers about her father's side of the family. I don't know if my grandfather had brothers or sisters.

Rollison - Pontiac Mich

tiapmf — 2005-12-04 17:31:23Z

I have pictures of a Earl Rollison Sr. I also have a picture of a James Rollison, born Nov 16th 1888. These pictures were found in a box of pictures that belonged to the Cookstons of Ohio. Also, in the box was pictures of the LaBarre's, Moore's and the Kessler's. The pictures that I have of Rollison's are pictures taken when they were about 7-10 years old. Most of the other pictures of the other people were taken at Watkin's Lake @ Pontiac, Mich. If you know any of these people or are kin to the Rollison's I mentioned, please e-mail me and I will give you as much infomation that I can. I am trying to contact the decendents of these old pictures dating back to the 1800's.
Hope these are your kin,

tiapmf — 2005-12-04 17:31:23Z

Dear Matt,

I found the ggggrandson of the Cookston family. In the boxes of pictures were also some of the Rollison family. I think somewhere along the way you are related to the Cookston's in some fashion.

Ron Cookston notified me about a week and a half ago and verified his family tree relating to most of the pictures. Most of the pictures and all of the old newspaper clippings were of the Cookston family.

There were also pictures of the Rollison's, McElvy's, etc. and I placed notices on the message boards of all the families I could find names on.

I mailed the box of pictures to Ron Cookston last week. It is a true treasure. You can contact him at RLCookies@aol.com. I'm sure he would like to here from you. I have been communicating with him through email. I feel sure he will share any info with you and perhaps send you copies of the pictures.

Would love to hear from you again after you have made contact with Ron to see if you two are related.

I bought the pictures at an auction in Rossville, TN (can't hardly find it on map). I live north of Memphis, and about 40 miles from Rossville. I just did not want to see the pictures thrown in the trash and decided to try and find any decendents.

Good Luck with your family tree. If I can be of anymore help, please email me at tiapmf@aol.com.

Hi,
Would your William Rollison/Rawlinson have lived in Brookly, NY abt. early 1900 and originating/born in St.Catharines, Ontario? the forenames of his children are very much like forenames of people in my William Rawlinson family. Thanks. Joan Perkins

Re: Grandfather William Rollison

JRijoperk — 2006-08-01 20:06:15Z

Hi Priscilla,
The William Rollison/Rawlinson I am looking for was born November 16, 1870, in St.Catharines, Lincoln Co.,Ontario, Canada. He was the s/o John Rollison/Rawlinson and Elizabeth Wright. His last known address was Brooklyn, NY about 1900. His siblings were Lucy Rollison, b. abt 1858, Elizabeth W. Rollison, b. abt. 1861, Robert Dudley Rawlinson, b. August 15, 1865, Augusta Clark Rollison, b. March 1867, John H. Rollison/Rawlinson b. June 14, 1868, Caroline (Carrie) Dufferin Rollison, b. abt. 1875, Ethel Pearl Rollison, b. Sept. 01, 1879, and Edna (Minnie) Rawlinson - birth date unknown. They were all born St.Catherines.

John Rollison/Rawlinson was b. July 1833 allegedly in Scotland, but not yet proven. He died June 01, 1900 St.Cath. Wife Eliz. Wright d.o.b. unknown, but most likely in Northampton, MA to Gershom Wright and Elizabeth?? Are there any family members who might recognize any of this data? Thanks. Joan

Jacob Rollison / Rollason / Rollinson, Monongahela, PA

guitar2170 — 2007-11-11 20:18:49Z

I have noted in some postings and some on-line family records that Jacob Rollison is listed as having been born in Pennsylvania. This is not correct and, I believe, is the result of some incorrect information I gave to another genealogist about a decade ago. There is a census record that lists Jacob as having been born in PA. I found this record back in 1986, in the days when research meant spending endless hours sifting through microfilm records in the Pennsylvania Room at the Carnegie Library in Oakland, Pittsburgh. At the time I did not find any records to contradict this and, as stated before, about ten years ago passed the information on to someone who requested it. I was not actively doing research at the time. Since then I again caught the bug and discovered the error. Other records including census and christening records from Dudley from which the family emmigrated clearly show that Jacob was born in December 1845 in Dudley and came to this country with his mother and most of his brothers and sisters between 1851 and 1860. It appears that the father, Benjamin, born abt.1803, had died, probably in 1844. Jacob became a coal miner, went on to marry Mary Ann Smith, served in Company C of the 5th Heavy Artillery Regiment Pennsylvania in the Civil War and had six children, three of whom survived into adulthood.
I've some additional info about one of his siblings that I've not seen listed in anyone else's tree. His older brother John who was christened on 6 September 1835 in Dudley,immigrated with the rest, and married a woman named Sarah, became a coal miner here and died 15 July 1868 in a coal bank accident and is buried in Potter's Field Lot 1 in the Monongahela Cemetery. There is no record of their having had any children.
I apologize for the Jacob error.
