Ken: I checked the book - "First 50 years of Cazenovia Seminary, 1825-1875" for information on a Prof. W.W. Roller (and Edith Ballou, tou!) but I found nothing. Nothing in the general histories, decade-by-decade histories (1845-1875), nothing in the Trustees and teachers lists, nothing in the students list. Perhaps he was at another "Oneida Seminary" and not the "Oneida Conference Seminary" in Cazenovia. May he have been a bit later than 1875.
