---[ Elder Gaspar Roland came to America, to Philadelphia area, in 1741 and in 1757 moved to York Co PA. In 1762 he moved to Frederick Co MD, the Pipe Creek Church, then in 1771 moved to the Forks of the Yadkin, Rowan Co NC. Tradition says he organized the Dutchman's Creek Congregation there, and in 1775 was ordained to the Eldership (by Elder David Martin). He was in the area that in 1783 beame Davies Co NC, and in 1796 moved across the Blue Ridge Mountains to the New River Valley, in Wilkes Co (which became Ashe Co). It is considered that he came to the Drakes Creek Church, south of Bowling Green KY, then in Warren Co, now Simpson Co. He died in 1809.]--- I have a Gaspar Roland--dates and locations unknown--who married Sarah Mast. They had one child named Barbara. I find in the "History of the COB of the Southern District of Ohio" the following on page 48: "...Elder Casper Rolland was perhaps the first minister to settle in Kentucky. Elder John Hendricks was the second..." I have checked dates, comparing to what Merle has posted, and believe this to be the same person. I have not found Sarah Mast, nor a wife named Sarah though. Any thoughts?
