  • Notes 
    • Probable son of John Rollins based on age and geographic proximity; executor of John Rollings' will.

      Native of Chatham Co., NC and a lifelong resident Chatham and neighboring Wake Co. 1820-60 census data consistently suggests that he was born about 1789-90. This correlates nicely with census data for John Rollins, whose 1800 household included four boys born during the 1790s and whose 1810 household included three males born 1785-94.

      Burwell Rollins appears as a landless poll on the 1815 Chatham County Tax List in Capt. Partridge's District. This list is accessible online via http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncchatha/partrtax.html.

      Marriage date uncertain but probably around 1817.

      Probably a lifelong Methodist, being named as a trustee on 1822 and 1837 deeds from Parrish Cross to Buckhorn Methodist Church (Harrington, 49).

      Named executor of Anderson Dennis' will (dated 11 March 1829).

      Died May-August 1865 in Wake Co., NC. Burial place unknown.
