I am searching for any information on Benjamin G Rollison (or Rolison or Rawlinson) who was born about 1832 in Richland County, SC. He moved to Anderson County, SC before 1857 and married Margaret Robinson. Benjamin G was killed in the Civil War on 9-30-1864.. I believe he may have been part of the Rawlinson family of Richland County, but I have been unable to find the connection. Can anyone help me?

In 1850 census, Columbia, Richland Co., p. 36, James Rollison age 21 and Benjamin Rollison were counted in the household of Richard S. Pomeroy age 30. Pomeroy was a carriage maker and the two Rollisons were his employees. James Rollison was a carriage maker and Benjamin was an apprentice. One apparent widow Joanna Rollison age 35 [with several children], lives in Richland also, but she is rather young to be the mother of these two young men. In her household there is also a male Trinity Martin age 70, no relationship stated. =============================== scanned by Norton Antivirus 2004 ===============================

I am intrigued by this Benj. G. Rollison and the 1850 census data posted earlier. The Richland County Rawlinsons (and Martins) are my guys but I do not have a Benjamin born in 1832 in my files. Also, I do not have a Johanna married to a Rawlinson. The only Johanna Rawlinson (maiden name; father was a Benjamin) I have is married to Joseph Martin Sr. This Johanna was b. ca 1764. Her daughter-in-law, Trinity Hodge, m. Joseph Martin Jr. I don't know of any male Trinity Martins. (I have that same 1850 census w/ a Trinity living in the home of a Joanne(a) but I have her listed as female. I do not know who that Joanne(a) is; possibly Trinity's daughter. I do not have any of Trinity's children in my files.) To further confuse, I have no James born ca 1830. The Benjamin Rawlinson listed below (living w/a James at the Pomeroy home), when was he born? (I have 5 Benjamins in my files.) Most of mine are spelled Rawllinson, but I have a Rolleson and a Rolinson. If you find any Richland connections for your Benjamin G., I might be able to help you fill in some blanks.
