Hello, Here are some ROLLs mentioned in "A History & Biographical Cyclopaedia of Butler Co., OH with Illustrations & Sketches of Its Representative Men & Pioneers," Western Biographical Publishing Co., Cincinnati, OH, 1882 See: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohbutler/cyc/ and additional gleanings. This ROLL information is not on-line yet, since I just typed it for them. Do we have the lineages of these ROLLs mentioned? See how my husband's HANCOCK family is intertwined with the ROLL family and with each having a Sylvender ROLL & Sylvender HANCOCK running around? Sylvender HANCOCK was my husband's great-grandfather...and before them a casket was made for a (Capt.) John HANCOCK by John ROLL. Is it any wonder that eventually a ROLL descendant and HANCOCK would marry...but it took a long time for me to prove to my husband his "Buckeye" roots? He always thought everyone was "Hoosier." And, of course, I think this is probably the PA line of ROLLs here in Butler Co., OH, but haven't looked into it. I know Carolyn (ROLL) BRANDON is descended from the PA line and we are descended from the same SHIELDS line; and the SHIELDS were once in Butler Co., OH, also.. Audrey Shields Hancock from NJ Line of ROLLs whose descendants married into the SHIELDS line. "McGONIGLE'S. McGONIGLE's Station, on the Junction Railroad, took its name form Philip McGONIGLE, an old settler who contracted for and built one mile of the railroad at this point. He added the house used as a station, but it is yet owned by private parties. McGONIGLE had a horse-mill here in 1830, as also a still-house. Among the distinguished residents of this station have been Dr. Silas ROLL, who was here forty years ago. Dr. HANCOCK, who studied with him, was also a practitioner in this vicinity. Dr. James ROLL, a nephew of Dr. Silas ROLL, is the present practicing physician. Daniel LAREY was blacksmith here in 1806; some of the others have been Michael SHANK and Joseph HILEMAN. There is a handsome Grange hall in the village; also a Grange storehouse. A good mill is in active operation. The stone school-house, one mile north of McGonigle's, was erected in 1852 by J. S. SMILEY, contractor. There are about 50 people at the station, though it was never laid out." AND: "The following have been the names of the postmasters: Stillwell. Jacob G. STILLWELL, December 31, 1831; Willis R. DeWITT, August 16, 1842; George KYGER, March 8, 1847; Jacob G. STILLWELL, June 10, 1847; Sheldon A. CAMPBELL, February 28, 1850; Jacob G. STILLWELL, January 6, 1851; Silas ROLL, November 19, 1856; changed to McGonigle's Station, September 14, 1859." To add to this was this fact from the estate papers of (Capt.) John HANCOCK: John HANCOCK (my husband's gggg-gf) was laid to rest in a coffin made for $6.00 with the hands of Isaac ROLL who presented the bill for payment to the administrators of the estate. This occurred in 1827 in Butler Co., OH. To add to this within the estate packet of my husband's ggg-gf, John A. HANCOCK, (s/o John & gf/o Sylvender HANCOCK) was this: "Silas ROLL for medical attendance during last illness...$3.00 on 11 May 1850" (HOW ABOUT A $3.00 OFFICE CALL THESE DAYS? And this was probably a home visit. Suppose he got some tonic with it.) and these ROLLs made purchases at the estate sale of Jonas JONES in 1853. (Jonas was brother-in-law of John A. HANCOCK.): F. M. ROLL, Faney ROLL, & Sylvender ROLL. And "For visits & medical advice (for Jonas JONES, brother-in-law of John A. HANCOCK) $2.50 paid to Silas ROLL on 2 Dec 1854."
