    3. Hi Ed, Thanks for the cemetery records. If you checked P. 9 that I sent this morning, your records added the Dew to Elizabeth Wyatt's name and her birth and death date. It also added the birth and death date to Lucinda Herman, wife of Jacob Roll. It also gave me the death date of Polly or Mary in the cemetery records, wife of Aaron Roll. Although, checking the P. 9 that I sent, I failed to put it in the records. I also noticed when it came back that a line at the top of the page was also missing. JACOB ROLL, 2nd child of ABRAHAM & MARY (Brooks) ROLL. Sorry for the mistakes. You can all see that this page needs updating. If I have a page # to the left of the child's name, I have more information on that line of the family. If I have no page #, I have nothing further. That is why I don't know how Nancy and Audrey fit into this line of the family. I checked the Index and couldn't find a Margaret Ann Burns either Ed, so I guess I don't have yours. I have several Burns but not this one. I'm not sure where this John L. & Eliza J. Roll fit in. I'll have to check the records as to dates. Abraham Brooks Roll is in my pages. He was the 8th child of Abraham & Mary (Brooks) Roll. He married Elizabeth Dunham Lambert. Married: June 1804. I have more on this line of the family. I enjoy your rambling, and I'm glad you noticed the tree and all it did to the monument. I've strolled through more cemeteries than I ever dreamed I would be in. I always thought a piece of chalk would bring out the inscriptions but a friend went with Lynn and me to a cemetery and no one had a piece of chalk. The friend looked around for a few seconds and picked up a tiny stone. He rubbed it over the dates and they came out just perfect. I don't know if it was a certain type of stone. You have all been so helpful to me, I'll tell you about "The Tree" and I hope before we get the Archives. Before Charles and I were married, we went to Roll, Indiana to a square dance. I don't square dance but I love to watch it. We got to the edge of town and I noticed the sign. I said, "Roll, Indiana, is that some of your family?" He said, "Yes, my G.Grandfather settled the town. He lived to be 102 and was hanged for rape." Nothing more was said about it because I thought oh, how embarrassing. Years later, after the research connected Lynn's family, she came by and I told her the story. I had never told him that I knew for awhile that he was joking but I did tell Lynn that while we drove through the town, I looked around and thought, "I wonder which tree". She is a very prim and proper lady and very straight laced. I was surprised when she laughed. Several weeks later, I got an envelope from Lynn and inside was a picture taken in the Church and Cemetery yard of Roll, Indiana. It was the Ideal tree. I framed it and it still is in my living room and draws many questions as to why I have a picture of a tree in my living room. It turned out that he was related to Matthias Roll. He was a 2nd cousin, 5 times removed. You all have the story that I rarely tell, so you all know how naive I once was. Thanks again Ed. Betty, this P. 9 is part of the records that I plan to send to you when I can ever get organized and get a copy of them from the old computer. Best to you, Martha
