Surnames: Rolston/Ralston Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XNB.2ACI/750 Message Board Post: Am searching for any information on William F. Rolston (Ralston). He was born in Hart Co., KY Oct 16, 1825. He was in the Mexican War and afterwards migrated to Ray Co., MO. He is listed in the 1850 census of Ray Co. married to Rebecca (Renfro). There is then a marriage record for him in 1852 to Aisley (Alice) Gilpin. They are in the Grape Grove Township census for 1860. Cannot find them in the 1870 census. He was supposed to be in Johnson Co. then and also serving in the state legislature. I am desperately searching for any documentation proving where he came from and in particular who his parents are. I would appreciate any help. Steve Boyce
