Notes for ROBERT ROWLAND:
Surry County is now Sussex County Virginia. Robert is reputed to have become a religious dissenter for a while along with his wife. Up to this time the Rowlands had been members of the Church of England, but Mary Hargrove Rowland was the daughter of a Puritan or ana-Baptist religious dissenter before their arrival in America. Robert Rowland and his family may have moved to Amelia Cou. VA for religious purposes where he purchased 2,000 acres of land and a Mill at the falls of Lazzarita Creek, believed to be a tributary of the Nottoway River,(now Nottoway Co. Va}                                                                                     Robert was also in the Indian War of 1742, and he owned slaves. It is believed that Robert and some sons(Augustine reported to stay in the Surry area due to conflicts with his parents} moved from Amelia to Bedford County and Bouteout Co. area in about 1750. There he purchased land and sold lots for what is now present day Roanoake VA. Robert was also listed to have owned land on Looney's Mill Creek.                                                                                                                                                                         One researcher suggested that ther may have been another marriage and some sons may have been half-brothers. Augustine was not mentioned in the will

     Christopher died before November 1830 because his will was shown as being probated by then (1840 CITIZENS OF TEXAS, Volume 3 Land Grants, By Gifford White, Austin TX. 1988} the document (page 245) reads, "To Sherrod Roland, Guardian of: Sherrod, Ezekial, Jesse and Christopher, minor heirs of Christophers deed.: The County given is Red River, May 1838. So when Christopher died his brother Sherrod became guardian of the minor children.                                                                                                     According to Nancy Webb Wood of El dorado AR. Christopher Roland Married Elzabeth Paces sister Martha W. "Patsy" Pace. They had three of four sons in Alabama. They family probably moved to Arkansas Territory at the same time as his brother Sherrod and Elizabeth Pace did. He died soon after moving there. His probate record is the first listing in the Monroe County AR. Territory book in 1830.                 Martha and he sons moved to Texas with Christopher Roland and his family and settled there as stated in Red River Land records that the date settled was November 14, 1834.
