The family of Joseph Roland (son of Gaspar) is in the Winter 2006 issue of BRETHREN ROOTS, pp. 69-71. The John Dick family follows on pp. 71-74 of the same issue. Joseph Roland and John Dick were colleagues and Brethren leaders in Muhlenberg before heading up to Illinois in the late 1820s. Before that Roland worked with Hendricks at Drakes Creek. John Dick was probably not active until sometime after 1800. I have a copy of a letter written, April 2, 1869, by Isham Gibson to Abraham Harley Cassel telling Cassel that he (Gibson) was baptized in Tennessee in 1823 by John Dick. Gibson was ordained as elder three years later by Joseph Roland. Like many of the Kentucky Brethren, including the Rolands, the John Dick family had come from North Carolina. From the accounts in Isham Gibson's letters, both Roland and Dick were present in Tennessee although they apparently spent more of their time working in Kentucky where they lived. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Merle C Rummel" <cliff@rtkonline.com> To: <brethren@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, April 13, 2008 7:25 AM Subject: [BRE] Roland Family >I am asking many questions - as I work on these families for my Frontier > Brethren (Kentucky etc of c1800) Book > > One of the important Elders in the early Carolina-Kentucky area was > Gaspar/Caspar Roland (Rowland).
