3. JOHN2 ROLLISON (BENJAMIN1 RAWLINSON, SR)9 was born Abt. 1749 in Richland County, South Carolina, and died April 4, 1816 in Richland County, South Carolina. He married UNKNOWN.
Notes for JOHN ROLLISON:
John Rollison (Rawlinson) was born in Richland County, South Carolina prior to 1751. He is the son of Benjamin Rawlinson, Sr. born October 12, 1727 in Kent County, Maryland.
John Rollinson was granted 100 acres of land in March of 1771 from the King. The land is in the fork of the Wateree and Congaree Rivers in Old Craven County, now Richland County, South Carolina.
He later moved to Effingham County, Georgia in the late 1780's. He was granted 200 acres in Effingham County, Georgia on June 13, 1789. He received two more grants of land with a total of 300 acres. John Rollison had moved to Glenn County (Now Wayne) by January 2, 1801 when he sold the land in Effingham County. He apparently lived the rest of his life in the Glenn County area.
In 1814 Captain William cone made an affidavit to obtain the right to vote for William Rollison. It is
recorded in Wayne County and states that William Cone had known the mother of William, Noel and Fanny Rollinson since she had nursed William, and that she was a fair, white skinned woman and that he also knew John Rollinson and that he was said to be their father.
John Rollison was a Revolutionary War Soldier, having served in the South Carolina Militia, Richland district. He served as a private under Colonel Benton of General Marion's Brigade. He served with Benjamin, Richard, William and George Rollison. On April 5, 1860 James Rawlinson made a deposition stating he was eighty eight years of age and he was living in the Richland District during the Revolutionary. He further stated he had five brothers who served in the war, one of whom did not survive the war.
The spelling of the name Raulerson was first used on July 20,1813 when David B. Mitchell, Governor of State of Georgia issued a military commission to Jacob Raulerson, son of John Rollison as Lieutenant of the 335th District of Militia in Wayne County, Georgia. This is the first time the surname had been
spelled this as Raulerson. It had previously been spelled Rollison/Rawlinson/Rolyson depending on
you wrote the name. After 1813 all the bothers eventually adopted the spelling shown on the military
commission.
