ROLLINS, farmer; P. O.

At the age of fifteen years James M. left his home and became a resident of Guernsey County, O.

In January of 1852 his wife died, aged twenty-six years, and in 1853 he married Miss Mary J. Swinford, by whom he had six children, viz: Allie E., Addie, Agnes, Mary L., James W. and Charles.
