In the Scrogin Cemetery in Lexington are three undated Rolston tombstones. Undated or perhaps just unreadable. I believe that the Benjamin, Nancy and Russell tombstones are all my family members. The cemetery was established in 1850, a few years prior to Benjamin Rolston (Sr.) removing from Ohio and moving west to Nebraska. They stayed over in McLean Co., Ill. for a short period of time before moving onto Nebraska.
My question is two fold. Are there any records for the cemetery that might provide more information on the burials of Benjamin, Nancy and Russell Rolston's?
Secondly, what epidemics occurred in McLean Co. during the early 1850's? Influenza, cholera and Yellow Fever are among the various epidemics from 1850-1855, but I don't know which might have affected the Lexington area.
