This is a reprint from the September 1988 Newsletter. It was sent by Ozelle Kilgore of Benjamin, Texas. Mrs. Kilgore's first husband was the Rollings. She is not doing any genealogy as she has arthritis and finds it difficult to write. She has some information to pass on to descendants of JAMES ROLLINGS, b. Nov. 16, 1770 in Virginia, died Nov. 4, 1856 in Smith County, Tennessee. I will quote from her letter: "JAMES RAWLINGS was born in Virginia and died and is buried at Denney's Branch on the Manning Place. He came to Smith County, Tennessee in 1825. The name of his wife is unknown, but the children were: MARGARET, JONATHAN K., ENOCH, CAROLINE and EVALINE. ENOCH was born in Virginia in 1805. His wife's name was Martha. She was from Alabama. Their children were: JOHN, WILLIAM, ENOCH Jr., AMMON, LEAPOLAUS, JOSEPHINE, AGNESS and TAYLOR. AMMON ROLLINS was born in 1838, died March 16, 1906. His grave is located in Smith County on a hill between New Middleton and Brush Creek on the edge of a field. He married a Miss Hearn, according to Erma Williams. After her death he married Agnes Minton. In another article HENRIETTA ROLLINS states JAMES married Mary (last name unknown . In 1948, a J.D. ROLLINS was Sheriff of Smith County.
