Nancy Rolston d. Jan 14, 1853 age 4-8-24, dau of T D & S
Benjamin F Rolston d. Mar 29,1854 age 6yrs son of C and M A
Russell Rolston d. May 13, 1854 age 25-8-23, son of B and A.
Their tombstones did exist in July 1979 when all the stones were moved to the crest of the hill and enclosed in a patio area. If you send me your mailing address I can send you articles about why that had to be done. As for what might have killed them, the concensus was either Typhoid Fever or Cholera. There was a Cholera epidemic in McLean & Livingston Co in 1854 but Benjamin & Ruseell died 6 weeks apart so not sure if that was the cause. No newspapers exist from this time.
I would very much like to know who the parents were so we can add that information to our records. There have been RAlstons in Lexington for a long time but I couldn't find any other ROlstons. Hope this helps.
