INTRODUCTION This genealogy was prepared primarily from data contained in 'The Genealogy of the New Jersey Rolls' which was prepared by Martha Roll of Hollow Rock, TN and Thelma Lynn Roll of Huntington IN. The copy I worked from was dated in 1984 and had been presented to the Ancestral Trails Historiacal Society in Vine Grove, KY and later given to the North Hardin Library in Radcliff, KY, and has since disappeared. The title page of the volume is reproduced on the next page. I appreciate the work put into this genealogy, and have made every effort to keep the data as accurate as possible. In some cases, this has meant making changes to or adding data to the material prepared by Martha and Thelma. Use the index to find the name of the person you are interested in. Each person will normally be listed twice (once as a child, and once as a parent. The notable exception to this general rule is in the case of common names such as John Roll. In this case, and a few others, you will find numerous page numbers listed, and will have to check each one to find the person you are interested in. Once you have found the person you are interested in, you may trace his/her ancestry the checking the 'Continued from' line at the top center of the page, and tracing the family line backwards by referring to the appropriate family charts. Also, you can trace the descendants of the individuals by following the 'Continued on' line associated with each child. When no family chart number is given, it simply means that I have no further information on that child. For example, in looking up Wesley Roll in the index, we find him listed on page 19 and 67. Looking at page 67, we find Wesley Roll listed as the parent. Looking at the heading, we find that his family chart is continued from chart 29. Turning back to chart 29, we find that it is on page 19, and that Wesley is listed here as a child. If we wanted to continue tracing his ancestry, we would look at the top of page 19, and find that we would need to go to chart number 23. Wesley had 13 children. One was named Jonathan Smith Roll. If we wanted to trace his descendants, we would look at his entry and find that it was continued on on family chart number 151 and so would turn to that chart to find more information on Jonathan Smith Roll and his children. If you have any additional information concerning the Roll family, or any corrections to make to the data presented, I would appreciate your contacting me.
