Note: According to other Roll family researchers, Michael Foster Roll was the son of David B. Roll and Margaret Jackson Roll. All three individuals are buried in the Sears-Vandlandingham Cemetery. The death certificate lists Michael's mother as Rachel Rhoads. As David B. Roll was the son of Rachel Vaught Rhoads, I believe, and I've seen this happen on many other death certificates, that when the informant was asked the maiden name of the mother, he gave David Roll's mother rather than Michael Roll's. - JP
