Roland, Roulen, Rollins.<br /> The earliest census data from 1851 lists Benjamin and Elmira Roland (Rolling) and 6 children living in King Township.<br /> Their religion is listed as Methodist, but later records show them as Baptists, Friends of Quakers and Presbyterian - all family members are listed as "Black" except Elmira, who is listed as "Native Indian".<br /> According to the 1851 census, <!-SCT-->there were several other black families living in King Township at the time, the Barnharts (Barnard) being one of them.
