Hi Nancy, Don't worry about getting "Caught up". I don't think anyone ever gets caught up on genealogy. I don't have any other wives listed for Joseph Roll except Nancy Barnet. The connection was sent to me from a cousin in California and I did not verify that Joseph was the son of Jacob & Elizabeth (Mills) Roll. I spent years trying to make the connection to the research and when it came it, I just was thrilled to finally make the connection, and added it to the research. If it is wrong, a lot of my research has to be taken out of the big notebook. For many years, I believed that we were connected to the Penn. Line of the family because they also came through Southern Indiana. However, Abraham C. Roll was also in Floyd Co., Indiana, just next door so to speak. Our Joseph was married in Crawford Co., Indiana and died there. Janis Holland husband's name is James Patrick Holland. Her parents also live in Seattle, Wa. Her connection backward: Janis Marie Roll & James Patrick Holland Francis Merton Roll & Frances Marion McGinley Roma Carr Roll & Mary Edith Miller William Francis Roll & Mary Jane Carr Francis Marion Roll & Mariette E. Ross Samuel F. Roll & Frances Jones Matthias Roll & Mary Rutan John Roll & 1st wife, Rachel Van Winkle John Roll & Elizabeth Sickles Lynn will know what Janis's address is. I have just been out of the genealogy business for about 5 years and haven't wrote to anyone for awhile. Martha ---------- From: NANCY N LOHBRUNNER <[email protected]> To: ROLL LIST <[email protected]> Subject: [ROLL-L] Attn: Martha Date: Tuesday, January 20, 1998 7:20 PM Hi Martha: Forgive me for taking so long in asking about your sons line, but I can't seem to get caught up with genealogy. Sometimes I feel like I am drowning and I can't get free! On 25 Oct 1997 you wrote the line was: JohnRoll/Elizabeth Sickles Abraham Roll/Mary Brooks Jacob Roll/Betsy Mills Joseph Roll/Nancy Barnet William Alexander Roll/Lucy Ann Elizabeth Ray Cummings James Hudson Roll/Louisa May Totten William Riley Roll/Golda Mae Woolums Charles Hershell Roll/Martha Jeanette Rowell It is Joseph Roll and Nancy Barnet that I have a question about. (If you have already answered this, please tell me as I tried to make hard copies of all Roll list correspondence and it is just buried.) Was Nancy Barnet a first wife? The following is what I have on Joseph, is it incorrect? I only have Elizabeth as his wife and no son named William Alexander. Is this another Joseph? Joseph b 18 Jan 1802 in NJ, d 29 Oct 1846 Clark Co., OH. Wife, Elizabeth b abt 1810 in OH d abt 1858. Children: 1. Daniel W. b 7 Jan 1828 d 24 Mar 1863 m Sarah Frances McJilton 7 Apr 1853. 2. Mary A. b abt 1830 m Franklin Koch 27 Jun 1850 3. Jacob m Mary J. Cory 4. Joseph Jr. b abt 1834 5. Jonathan d Jul 1872 6. John L. d 1918 m Eliza J. Day 4 Jul 1859 7. Anne 8. Margaret d 1845 OH 9. George W. b 11 Oct 1842, d 9 Nov 1842 OH 10. Isaiah d 17 Mar 1862 Some of the data I have came from Mrs. Patsy RALL of Packwood, WA in 1992. She was very ill then and the last time I wrote to her, she never wrote back. Did you ever correspond with her? Speaking of corresponding, I wrote to all the names you sent me, still haven't heard from any of them, but I did receive my letter back from Janis Holland. Returned to sender, wrong address. I wonder if she was/is related to Patsy Rall's husband's line? Do you remember what her husband's first name is? Maybe there is a listing in Switchboard for them. Thanks, Nancy
