THE ROLLINS FAMILIES. - THREE BRANCHES. - I.
Judging from the number of this name - no fewer than nine - among the grantees. our town might originaily have been called " Rol- liustown," next on the score of propriety after " Sanborntown." We first give a list of those proprietors, who, with their successors settled in town, were probably all descended from James' Rollins, or Raw- lins, of Dover (16-14-91). The " Rollins Genealogy" has essentially aided us in the work of identifying and tracing the following grantees, to wliose names are first appended their number or order on the original petition of 1748, and then the numbers of the lots, first and second divisions, drawn by each :
1. JONATHAN+ (Moses3, Thomas2, James1), No. 44 on Petition, Lots Nos. 8 and 69; was b. Jan. 19, 1703 ; lived in Stratham, and there d., Nov. 19, 1797, in his 95th year.
2. JOSIAN4 (Benjamin3, Thomas2, James1), No. 48, P., Lots 74 and 48; of Exeter ; carried provisions to sconting party and garrison at Canterbury, in 1746.
3. AARON, of Exeter (see [III., 66]), No. 2. P., Lots 78 and 40.
4. JOSEPH' (Joseph3, Thomas2, James1). of Exeter ; No. 33, l'., Lots 12 and 52; was doubtless the father of [9], and through his in- fluence his son's name may have gone on to the original list, though under age (see [9]).
5. JOSHUA4, of Stratham, was probably brother of the last [+], No. 55, I'., Lots 65 and 65. (Same number of lot in each division.)
6. THOMAS3 (Thomas2, James1), No. 7, P., Lots 24 and 37; was b. July 14, 1671 ; the oldest of the Rollins grantees ; was a lientenant of Stratham ; seven children ( Ist wife) ; m., 2d, Sarah, widow of John Sanborn, 1731 ; d. prior to (will proved) Dec. 29, 1756. Elis 2d Div. Lot settled by his grand-nephew (see [42]).

7. CALEB4, oldest child of the last, No. 20, P., Lots 15 and 27 ; lived in Stratham ; birth unknown ; d. about 1785.
8. Joux, of Exeter, No. 36, P., Lots 81 and 44, cannot be cer- tainly identified with any of the numerous Johns descended from James1. May be connected with the family of Nicholas Rollins, of Newbury, Mass., his oldest son Jolin being b. Dee. 1, 1680, and re- siding in Exeter, 1702-9, and possibly afterwards. He m. Mary Thomas, of E., Oet. 9, 1702.

He was b. Oct. 4, 1729, son of [4] (see) , and though but 19, in Oct., 1748, yet his name appears on the earliest List, and he was henee one of the grantees of Sanborntou, as above.

66. AARON' (Samuel3, Thomas?, James'), was probably the same as Aaron, the grantee (see [I., 3]), but if so, being b. 1727, the old- est sou of Samuel3, of New Market, he must have been settled in Exeter at the early age of 21 (1748), when his name was signed sec- ond on the original " Petition " ("Aran Rolins "), and must afterwards have res'd. in New Market, whence he rem. to Brentwood, in 1763, and thence to Deerfield, in 1770.
