  • Notes 
    • William Rollo was born in Glenduckie, Fife, Farfarshire, Scotland. The Rollos were millers in Scotland, both when they lived in Fife and Dundee. They were converted to Mormonism in Dundee and decided to move to America. Brigham Young had established an immigration fund to help Mormon converts. William, who according to the ship records was 45 at the time. He left first aboard a steamship named Minnesota, out of Liverpool, England on September 4, 1872. His wife, Amanda and the rest of the family followed on June 4, 1813 on the Nevada. No deaths occurred at sea but 2 babies were born. They arrived in New York near Castle Garden on September 16, 1872. The next day the Saints went ashore. On the 18th, they boarded a train and traveled via Pittsburgh, Chicago, Omaha, etc. to Salt Lake. Halfway between Ogden and Salt Lake the train was me by Brigham Young and other leading men who immediately went through the cars bidding their brethren and sisters from afar a hearty welcome to Zion. On their arrival in Salt Lake City on September 26, 1872 they were taken to the Music Hall where a dinner was waiting for them.

      The Rollos then went to Morgan, Utah where he started a grist mill. From there they went to Huntsville, to Nephi and then to Santaquin. He ran grist mills in all these places.

      When William and Amanda grew old and could no longer do for themselves, Andrew and Alex who had migrated to Cedar City, took a wagon and team and moved them to Cedar City where he died in 1910.
