Descendants of John Roulstone Generation 1 1. John 1 Roulstone was born in 1620 in Paisley, Renrewshire, Scotland. He died in 1706 in Boston, Suffolk Co., Mass. (age 86). He married Judith Rainsborough in Boston, Suffolk Co., Mass.. She was born in Sep 1624 in Wapping, White Chapel, Somerset, England. She died in 1670 in Charlestown, Middlesex Co., Mass. (age 45). Notes for John Roulstone: John Roulstone is said to have been born in 1620 in Paisley, Scotland. Others place his birth as 1624. John Roulston is shown as arriving in the Americas in 1642. {source: Early Virginia Immigrants by Thomas Guyer} John has been identified by Anita Kraft and Paula Manning as the father of John Rowlstone (1653-1717). He is said to have married Mrs. Judith Rainsborough Winthrop after 1658 which is after the birth of their proposed child, John. There does appear to be some conflicts in the dates and locations for these two John's that require additional research to either resolve or possibly disprove this proposed father-son relationship. Conflicting sources give his year of death as 1687 or 1706. Notes for Judith Rainsborough: Judith was the widow of Stephen Winthrop. {source: research of Anita Kraft} John Roulstone and Judith Rainsborough had the following child: 2. i. John 2 Rowlstone was born on 25 Apr 1653 in Paisley, Renrewshire, Scotland. He died on 31 Dec 1717 in Boston, Suffolk Co., Mass. (age 64). He married Mary Mercy Bumstead, daughter of Thomas Bumstead and Susan Chambers, on 25 Apr 1681 in Boston, Suffolk Co., Mass.. She was born on 15 Nov 1649 in Boston, Suffolk Co., Mass.. She died on 22 May 1706 in Boston, Suffolk Co., Mass. (age 56). Notes for John Rowlstone: John Rowlstone was born April 25, 1653 in Paisley, Scotland, the son of John Roulston and Judith Rainsborough Winthrop. John's surname is shown here as "Rowlstone" as it appears in the Boston birth records for his children; however, in John's death record it is found as "Rouleston." The surname is also found as Rowlistone. According to J. Leonard Raulston {The Raulstons and The Part They Played in American History, 1970}, John Rollestone was born in 1653 in Paisley, Scotland. He was in the shipping business and sailed at intervals between Scotland and Boston before immigrating to the New World sometime prior to December of 1675. A John Roulstone is noted as having served in the Garrison of Mendon from December 20, 1675 through June 24, 1676 during the King Phillip's War, and it is assumed that this is the same John Roulstone. John resided in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, where he met and married the widow Mrs. Mary Mercy Bosworth on April 25, 1681. After their marriage he entered into the inn keeping business that Mercy received from her deceased husband. John and Mary had five children. Mary is reported to have preceded John in death in 1698. Her death is not found within the Boston records. John continued to run the inn as late as 1714 according to the Boston records. John, 64, died December 31, 1717 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, and was buried in the Old Sexton Bills cemetery in Boston. Two of his five children are known to have preceded him in death.

Generation 1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is an earlier John Roulstone (1624-1687), husband of the widow Mrs. Judith Rainsborough Winthrop, that is shown as arriving in the Americas in 1642. {source: Early Virginia Immigrants by Thomas Guyer} It is proposed from the research of Anita Kraft and Paula Manning that this is the father of John Rowlstone born 1653; however, there appear to be some conflicts in the dates and locations for these two John's that require additional research to either resolve or possibly disprove this proposed father-son relationship. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Clarence M. Raulston, Jr. - "I wrote a book in 1973, The Raulstons of Red River County [Texas] and my research took me to Renfrewshire. The beginning of the book starts: ... In the Beginning ... On the roster of the old Scottish Clans, in the year 1147, the Raulstons are mentioned with those who rose out of Ayrshire. They are called the "Raulstons of that Ilk" and were the descendants of the MacDuff Thanes or Earls of Fife, one of whom had a son, Ralph, who obtained a grant of lands in Renfrewshire. Legend has it that this son called his lands after himself - Ralph's towne - and that his sons continuing on the same estate, wrote themselves De Ralphs-towne which by softened pronunciation became Raulston. The Roulstones, Raulstons, Ralstons were originally Scotch Presbyterians. They fled from Scotland during the persecution of members of their faith and settled in the north of Ireland. From that time they married maids of Erin and in the veins of their sons danced a new capacity for dreaming. To America they brought yet another tale of the significance of their name. They said that it was acquired in battle when their clan, whose original name was Love, rolled stones down a Scottish hill on their enemies and from that time bore the name Rolle- stone, modified to Raulstone. From the lands or barony of Raulston near Paisley, Renfrewshire, Crawford says Ralph, a younger son of one of the Earls of Fife, obtained a grant of land from the High Steward, but Nisbet says this is not favored by their arms for they do not carry the lion rampant, the arms of the old Earls of Fife, but three acorns on a bend, intimating they are of the same stock with those of the surname Muirhead. The first of the family recorded is said to be Nicholas de Ralstoun, who witnessed the donation of Fulton by Sir Anthony Lombard to the monks of Paisley in 1272. Thomas de Raulfestone of Lanarkshire rendered homage in 1296 and Jacobus de Raulyston, witnessed the election of an Abbott of Paisley, 1346. John Raleston of Raliston of that ilk was one of the arbiters in a dispute between the Burgh of Renfrew and the Abbott of Paisley in 1488. Robert Ralston was clerk to the Bishop of Caithness in 1504. Hendrie Ralstoun witnessed letters of reversion in 1519 and Hugh de Ralston of Ralston was killed in the battle of Pinkie 1547.

John Roulstone, born in Scotland in 1653, came to America prior to 1676. He served in King Phillips War under Captain Wadsworth and died in Boston in 1717. One son moved via Pennsylvania to Augusta County, Virginia, about 1710. Before coming to America, John and his father, John, Sr. were in the business of hauling cargo and passengers between Plymouth, England and Boston Colony."

Generation 2 2. John 2 Rowlstone (John 1 Roulstone) was born on 25 Apr 1653 in Paisley, Renrewshire, Scotland. He died on 31 Dec 1717 in Boston, Suffolk Co., Mass. (age 64). He married Mary Mercy Bumstead, daughter of Thomas Bumstead and Susan Chambers, on 25 Apr 1681 in Boston, Suffolk Co., Mass.. She was born on 15 Nov 1649 in Boston, Suffolk Co., Mass.. She died on 22 May 1706 in Boston, Suffolk Co., Mass. (age 56).

Generation 2 witnessed the election of an Abbott of Paisley, 1346. John Raleston of Raliston of that ilk was one of the arbiters in a dispute between the Burgh of Renfrew and the Abbott of Paisley in 1488. Robert Ralston was clerk to the Bishop of Caithness in 1504. Hendrie Ralstoun witnessed letters of reversion in 1519 and Hugh de Ralston of Ralston was killed in the battle of Pinkie 1547.

One son moved via Pennsylvania to Augusta County, Virginia, about 1710. Before coming to America, John and his father, John, Sr. were in the business of hauling cargo and passengers between Plymouth, England and Boston Colony." Notes for Mary Mercy Bumstead: Mary Mercy Bumstead was born November 20, 1649, in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, the daughter of Thomas Bumstead. The family were members of Roxbury, and Mary was baptized there on 20th of November at the age of 5 days. She married Samuel Bosworth about 1669, probably in Boston. The couple had several children before Samuel died. The widow, Mrs. Mercy Bosworth, appears in volume 7 of the Selectmen's Minutes for April 25, 1681, as approved to keep a house of public entertainment. This is shortly before her marriage to John Roulstone (Rowlstone). On April 25, 1681 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, Mary married John Rowlstone. Five children were born to their union. On December 2, 1687, Mary's son Joseph Bosworth from her first marriage, adopts the "Rowliston" surname. The spelling of the surname is as it was recorded. He appears to be the only one of the three Bosworth children to do so. Perhaps in his honor, Mary's next child, her fourth, is named Joseph. Unfortunately, this child died before reaching its second birthday. Mary was 51 in 1690, the year of her last known child's birth, and no other children are believed to have been conceived after that year. The date and place of Mary's death is not known. She is said to have preceded her husband in death about 1698 in Boston, but her death is not recorded in the "Report of the Record Commissioners" that documented the Boston Births, Baptisms, Marriages, and Deaths between 1630-1699. She is said to have died May 22, 1706 in Boston at the age of 56. Her husband, John, died December 31, 1717 at the age of 64. John Rowlstone and Mary Mercy Bumstead had the following children: i. Mercy 3 Rowlston was born on 15 Feb 1682 in Boston, Suffolk Co., Mass.. She died on 31 Aug 1705 in Boston, Suffolk Co., Mass. (age 23). Notes for Mercy Rowlston: Mercy Rowlston was born in 1682 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, the eldest of five children known to have been born onto John Rolestone (Rowlston) and Mary Mercy Bumstead. Mercy, 23, died August 31, 1705 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. Her place of burial is unknown. 3. ii. John Rolestone was born on 28 Jul 1684 in Boston, Suffolk Co., Mass.. He died

Generation 2 in 1744 in Virginia (age ~60). He married Dorothy Nicholson, daughter of George Nicholson, on 09 Mar 1707 in Boston, Suffolk Co., Mass.. She was born in 1687 in Boston, Suffolk Co., Mass.. She died in 1721 in Massachusetts (age 34). Notes for John Rolestone: John Rolestone/Roulstone (Jr./II) was born July 28, 1684, in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, the second of five children known to have been born to John Rolestone (Rowlston) and Mary Mercy Bumstead. By some accounts, his surname was Roulston. Unlike his siblings, John does not appear in the Boston Birth Records. John married Dorothy Nicholson on March 9, 1707, in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. John and Dorothy are believed to have had six children. The first child attributed to the couple is William. Unlike the other five known children, there is no record of the birth or baptism as was found with the remaining five children. The first recorded child, Mercy, was born in 1710, three years after their marriage. It is very probable that there was a child born prior to Mercy, but it is unknown, or confirmed, if this first child was indeed named William, or that this William is the William found in August County, Virginia, in the early 1750's. There is also the possibility that their first child died before it could be baptized. John moved his family to Rehoboth, Bristol County, Massachusetts, where they resided from about 1713 to sometime after 1719. On November 21, 1717, John Roulstone is named in the Rehoboth Town Meetings {Book II, pp. 164-167} as one of many residents subscribing to pay 100 pounds towards the building of a new meeting house. Also among the subscribers was one Mary (Peck) Butterworth. It was later discovered that she lead a successful counterfeiting operation there in Rehoboth that began in 1716. The operation was not brought to an end until 1723. John was not among those named as participating in this crime. Boston records of 1724 list John Roulston "who dismissed himself" from the position of Watchman. A later list of city officials lists John Roulston as the "purchaser of grain" from 1743 to 1744. Another Boston city record of city officials, dated May 2, 1744, lists John Roulston as a gravedigger; however, this could be his son John. Where John moved his family after leaving Rehoboth is uncertain, but as two of his children, a son and a daughter, would marry in Boston in 1738 and 1739, it seems that he returned to Boston for some period of time. There is no record of John's death in Boston. John is believed, by some, to have moved sometime before 1742 from Massachusetts to that part of Augusta County near Fincastle that would later become Botetourt County, Virginia. He is said to have died there in Staunton, Virginia in 1744, yet another researcher claims he died that same year in Kentucky. No documentation has been found to support either claim. Of interest to the Rolstone Family Genealogy is a proposed date and place of birth for William Rolstone. It has been publicized that their son William was born in 1715 in Bedford County, Virginia. [Bedford County was formed from

Generation 2 Lunenburg County by an act passed December 13, 1753, to take effect on 10 May 1754. Lunenburg County formed 1746 from Brunswick County. Brunswick County was formed in 1720 from Prince George but, because of the sparse population, county government was not organized until 1732. As such, if the birth information is correct, William would have been born in Prince George County, Virginia, formed in 1703.] The birth of William in Virginia seems unlikely as siblings Thomas and Mary, born either side of 1715, were both born in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. A birth of 1715 would also imply that son William married Eleanor and had their first child at the age of 17. It is a rare event to have a son marry at age 17. If, however, William, son of John and Dorothy was born in 1715, their William may not be the William found in Augusta County, Virginia, in 1750. Of additional interest is a second reference to William as the son of John and Dorothy that gives his marriage, spouse not identified, as 1741 and his date of death as 1764. Should both of these prove correct, it would eliminate the William Rolstone of Augusta County, Virginia, as the son of John Rolstone and Dorothy Nicholson. John is reported to have settled on the James River near Richmond in the early 1740's removing from Boston, Massachusetts. "... William along with his father John III and John's brother Thomas coming to The Valley of Virginia (Shenandoah Valley) around 1736. There was trouble with the Shawnee and Cherokee because of the influx of settlers. Wars were fought, homes destroyed ...... etc. The dispute came to a head in 1743. It was resolved in 1744 by the Treaty of Lancaster. 1744 was the year both John Ralston and his brother Thomas died. I believe they were killed during a raid by hostile Indians. Either Shawnee or Cherokee." {Jerry Ralston, July 2020} iii. Thomas Rowlstone was born on 28 Jul 1686 in Boston, Suffolk Co., Mass.. He died in 1744 in Virginia (age ~57). Notes for Thomas Rowlstone: Thomas Rowlstone was born July 28, 1686 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, the third of five children known to have been born to John Rolestone (Rowlston) and Mary Mercy Bumstead.

Notes for Joseph Rowlstone: Joseph Rowlstone was born November 28, 1688 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, the forth of five children known to have been born onto John Rolestone (Rowlston) and Mary Mercy Bumstead. He is believed to have been named in honor of his half-brother Joseph Bosworth who, according to Boston records, had just the year before adopted the "Rowliston" surname. He was baptism was performed a few days after his birth at the Church of Rocksbury in Boston. Joseph died July 21, 1690 at the age of one.

Generation 2 v. Mary Rowlston was born on 29 Sep 1690 in Boston, Suffolk Co., Mass.. Notes for Mary Rowlston: Mary Rowlston was born September 29, 1690 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, the last of five children known to have been born onto John Rolestone (Rowlston) and Mary Mercy Bumstead. Generation 3 3. John 3 Rolestone (John 2 Rowlstone, John 1 Roulstone) was born on 28 Jul 1684 in Boston, Suffolk Co., Mass.. He died in 1744 in Virginia (age ~60). He married Dorothy Nicholson, daughter of George Nicholson, on 09 Mar 1707 in Boston, Suffolk Co., Mass.. She was born in 1687 in Boston, Suffolk Co., Mass.. She died in 1721 in Massachusetts (age 34). Notes for John Rolestone: John Rolestone/Roulstone (Jr./II) was born July 28, 1684, in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, the second of five children known to have been born to John Rolestone (Rowlston) and Mary Mercy Bumstead.

On March 9, 1707 in Boston, Dorothy married John Rolestone. Six children are attributed to their union. Dorothy is said to have died in 1721 at the age of 34 [no record of death]. Her death may have occurred during childbirth as she had previously delivered a child every two years and the last child had been born in 1719, two years earlier. Her place of burial is unknown. John Rolestone and Dorothy Nicholson had the following children: i. William 4 Rolstone was born in 1708 in Boston, Suffolk Co., Mass..

She was born on 12 Apr 1773. She died on 30 Oct 1824 in Carthage, Smith Co., Tenn. (age 51). Notes for George Moses Roulstone: George Moses Roulstone was born October 8, 1767 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, the eldest of seven children born to George Roulstone (Sr.) and Mary Stevens. His father died when he was about fourteen. George was a newspaper publisher. In March of 1786, at the age of 19, he established his first paper, The Salem, Massachusetts, Chronicle and Essex Advertiser. He later removed to Fayetteville, Cumberland County, North Carolina, where in August of 1789 George, along with John Sibley and Caleb Howard, began publication of the Fayetteville Gazette. It was in Fayetteville that George caught the attention of William Blount. When Mr. Blount was appointed Governor of the Southwest Territory in July of 1790, he persuaded George to move to Tennessee as the official printer. There, he would print the territory's first newspaper and later, the Laws of the State of Tennessee. The Knoxville Gazette was published by George and Mr. R. Ferguson. This was the first newspaper to be published in the State of Tennessee. Although the newspaper was named the Knoxville Gazette, it was first published in Rogersville and Hawkins counties with the first issue on November 5, 1791. Only some time after September of 1792 did the newspaper move to the city of Knoxville in Knox County, Tennessee. The Impartial Observer was published by George and a Mr. Wilson. On May 1, 1794 in Knox County, Tennessee, George, age 27, married Elizabeth Jarratt Gilliam. Six children were born to their union. As did his father, George died prematurely at the age of 36 years. Perhaps from some genetic defect passed down from his father. The nature of his death is not known, but George was apparently aware that he was gravely ill. George wrote his will on August 9, 1804, and died the following day in Knoxville, Knox County, Tennessee: "In the name of God Amen, I, George Roulston of the Town of Knoxville, being of sound mind and memory but sorely afflicted in body, knowing the uncertainty of life and willing to make as equitable a dividsion of my worldy property as the nature of the case will admit of and at the same time considering that a Deed of Conveyance has been made to James Grant Roulston, my eldest son, to the house and lott on which I live in the town of Knoxville and an if he obtain an equal division of all my other property with my other children, he would have more than a just proportion, do make and ordain this my last Will and testament.

I do hereby constitute and appoint Devereaux Gilliam, Josiah Nichol, John Lavender, Hugh Dunlap, and Robert Caldwell Executors of this my last will and Testament. I witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand & Seal this 9thd day of August 1804." Attest James Trimble Josia Ellis

Generation 6 {source: Wills of Knox County, Tennessee, volume 1, page 159} George, 36, died August 10, 1804 in Knoxville, Knox County, Tennessee. His place of burial is unknown. [Roulstone, George d. in Knoxville, Tenn., aged 38 (C.C. May 1, 1805)] In this will, he named Devereaux Gilliam, his father-in-law, as one of his executors. In the Knoxville Gazette, Volume 5, Number 241, dated August 15, 1804, the following notice is published: "This newspaper is now published by the executors of George Roulstone on behalf of the widow and heirs." The Knoxville Gazette continued to be published until 1808. Notes for Elizabeth Jarratt Gilliam: Elizabeth Jarratt Gilliam was born April 12, 1773, one of seven children born to Capt. Devereaux Gilliam and Edith Ellis. On May 1, 1794 in Knox County, Tennessee, Elizabeth married George Roulstone. Six children were born to the couple. George, Elizabeth's husband of ten years, died on August 10, 1804 at the age of 36. She was pregnant with the couple's last child at the time of his death. Two years later, Mrs. Roulstone married William Moore. Children from this second union, if any, are unknown. About 1808, the couple moved to Carthage, Smith County, Tennessee. There, Mr. Moore preceded Elizabeth in death on November 8, 1823. Elizabeth, 51 died the following year on October 30th in Carthage, Smith County, Tennessee. Her place of burial is unknown. Tennessee: A: Knoxville. 1804-1808. Elizabeth (Gilliam) Roulstone Elizabeth (Gilliam) Roulstone became the publisher and editor of The Knoxville Gazette upon the death of her husband George Roulstone on 10 August 1804. She had married him in 1794 and he had begun the paper in 1791 at what was now Rogersville. He was postmaster and public printer for the territory and then the new state. Elizabeth continued the paper, so stated in the 15 August 1804 issue. She lost the public printer appointment for 1805 but regained it for 1806 and 1807. She also printed job work and her shop engaged in bookbinding. In 1807 Elizabeth married Colonel William Moore, and on 13 November 1807 he assumed proprietorship of both newspaper and public printing. Presumably she continued work in the firm. About mid-1808 The Gazette was discontinued and the family moved to Carthage, Tennessee.70 [See below]. Tennessee: B: Carthage. 1808-1824. Elizabeth (Gilliam) Roulstone About mid-1808 The Gazette (published at Knoxville), edited by Colonel William Moore, but probably with the assistance of his wife, Elizabeth (Gilliam) Roulstone, was discontinued and the family moved to Carthage, Tennessee. He established The Carthage Gazette on 13 August 1808, and continued it until his death in 1816 or 1817. Elizabeth continued it until her death in 1824. The paper was now formally her son's.71 (So it appears that Elizabeth may have died in Carthage, although the author's death date for William seems to be wrong according to Rachel Beckwith's bible as do some of his other dates) George Moses Roulstone and Elizabeth Jarratt Gilliam had the following children: 18. i. James Grant 7 Roulstone was born about 1794 in Knox Co., Tenn.. He died between 1860–1870 in Tennessee (age 66+). He married Patience Lyon, daughter of James Lyon, in 1816 in Tennessee. She was born in 1800 in Tennessee. She died on 26 Aug 1860 in Dresden, Weakey Co., Tenn. (age ~60).

Generation 6 Notes for James Grant Roulstone: James Grant [or Gilliam] Roulstone was born about 1794 in Knox County, Tennessee, the eldest of six children born to George Roulstone and Elizabeth Jarratt Gilliam. James was named as one the eldest son in his father's 1804 will; "... to James Grant Roulston, my eldest son ...." His father died August 10, 1804. In 1813 when James was about age 18, he petitioned the court to be allowed to sell certain lots in Knoxville with the proceeds to be used to educate himself and other minor heirs of George Raulston. In 1816 in Tennessee, James, at the age of about 21, married Patience Lyon, age 16. Over the course of their marriage, the couple had nine known children and probably five others that are not known. The couple appeared in DeKalb County, Tennessee, as J. G. Roulstone, noted in the 1832-1833 records of Dr. Wright's store located in that county. On January 6, 1840 in Carroll County, James issued a deed to Edward Gwin. The sale is for "the following slaves, (to wit) One negro Boy Agnt about twenty two years old a negro girl Agness about thirteen years old a negro girl Beck about nine years old and a negro woman Edy about forty five years old to have and to hold the same to the said Edward Gwin that I am lawfully seized of Said negroes & have a good right to convey them." James appears to have purchase the four negos in or from New Orleans on credit with payments of $750 due in January of 1843 and $600 due in January of 1844. The deed appears to only give Edward Gwin the authority to sell the slaves if James defaults on his payments as the deed notes that the sale to Edwin is void if James is able to make the scheduled payments. It is unclear as to whether James was able to fulfill his obligation. The family moved once again and was enumerated in Lebanon, Wilson County, Tennessee, during the 1850 census. In 1860 the family was living in Dresden, Weakey County, Tennessee. James, Patience, daughters, Emily and Susan, and their youngest son, Alex, were still living at home. Living next door were sons John with James and Patience's daughter Elizabeth, and in the next house was James oldest son, George and his family. On August 26, 1860 Patience, his wife of some 44 years, died at the age of about 60. James' date and place of death is unknown. He is assumed to have remained in Weakey County until his death. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ History of Grantsborough, Tennessee Information from this article was extracted with permission from Dr. Miller McDonald's book Campbell County Tennessee USA: A History of Places, Faces, Happenings, Traditions, and Things, Vol. 1. Grantsborough, a small community located at the fork of the Clinch and Powell Rivers, was one of the first towns incorporated by the State of Tennessee. In December 1789, the Tennessee State Legislature granted a charter to James Grant, Jacob Womack, and John Owen to locate a town. After several visits to the region, James Grant selected a 100 acres of land located on the north bank for the location of the new community. Since he had been to Philadelphia and

Generation 6 liked the way it laid out, Grant used this city as a model for the new community which would bear his name. In 1798, Grantsborough was located in Knox County. In 1801, it was located in Anderson County. At the creation of Campbell County in 1806, it found its final home. The first building constructed was a log store built by Grant.

Thompson Engine Co. 3, Charlestown Fire Department These two members were from the Charlestown Fire Department and were killed by falling walls while operating at a fire at the City Hotel Stables on Brattle Square. Several other firemen were injured while attempting to rescue horses from the stable. All the horses were rescued but a couple received slight burns. ~~~~~~~~ FIRE IN BRATTLE SQUARE, BOSTON, AUGUST 15TH, 1845, BY WHICH TWO FIREMEN LOST THEIR LIVES (The fireman's own book: containing accounts of fires throughout the United ...By George P. Little) An event which will long be remembered by the Firemen of Boston and vicinity, on account of the painful and disastrous consequences attending it, occurred in

Generation 6 that city, on the night of August 15th, 1845, in the burning (for the second time in a few years) of the extensive stable building connected with the City Tavern in Brattle street, kept by Mr. Lucius Doolittle. The fire was the act of an incendiary, and was set in a stall from which one of the hostlers had just taken out a horse to lead him to water. A hostler and another person who discovered it attempted to smother it with their hands, but it soon got above their reach, and in a few moments the whole building was in flames, and was entirely destroyed. There were a large number of horses in the stable, principally attached to the different lines of stages which put up at the City Tavern, but they were all got out in safety. The Fire Department promptly assembled, and the bright light of the fire having been seen for many miles, various out-of-town engine companies soon arrived to the assistance of their Boston brethren. A portion of the Charlestown companies were stationed in front of the fire, on Brattle Square, and as they were engaged in running out the hose, the brick walls of the gable end of the stable fell, burying beneath the ruins two of the Charlestown Firemen: Mr. William Roulstone, of Franklin Engine Company, No. 7, and Mr. Emerson G. Thompson, third Foreman of Howard Company, No. 3. They were immediately got out of the ruins, but life was extinct; they must have been killed instantly. Several other persons were seriously injured, who were taken into houses near by, and received prompt assistance from Drs. Bigelow, Channing, and others. The Firemen killed were both young men, and engaged to be married. Mr. Roulstone was a sailmaker by trade, and Mr. Thompson a carpenter. ---But for the vigorous exertions of Engineers Henry Smith and Joshua Jacobs, who saw the great danger from the starting of the front wall, and warned the crowd, and by force removed several Firemen and bystanders, many more lives must have been lost. The fire raged furiously, and threatened the destruction of the Brattle Square Church, and other surrounding property; but by the exertions of the Department, it was confined to the stable and the surrounding sheds. The roof of the church was several times on fire, and was considerably burnt. Besides Charlestown, engines were present from Cambridge, East Cambridge, Roxbury, Dorchester, Chelsea, and other towns, and did efficient service. The stable was owned ay an association of capitalists, known as the "Fifty Associates", and was insured. Mr. Doolittle was also insured. The burial of Mr. Roulstone, which took place at Charlestown, on the Sunday afternoon following, drew together an immense concourse, and the services were solemn and impressive. The body of the deceased was accompanied to its final resting place by a long procession of Firemen, who appeared deeply affected by the solemnity of the occasion. First in the mournful procession came the entire Fire Department of Roxbury; next followed that of Cambria and Chelsea; then the Department of Boston, followed by that of Charlestown; next followed the hearse containing the body of the deceased, with the leading hoseman of No. 7 as pall-bearers---followed by the members of No. 7, the company to which the deceased belonged, his friends, and the citizens generally. It is being understood that Mr. Roulstone left a widowed mother, whose chief support he had been, in indigent circumstances, and unable to work for a subsistence, the Firemen of Charlestown and the neighboring cities and towns, with their accustomed liberality, immediately set about raising the means for a substantial token of the interest they felt for her lone condition. The matter was entered into with great unanimity, and a considerable amount was collected, which was duly presented to the afflicted mother. The body of Mr. Thompson was removed to his native place in the State of Maine.

He died between 1860–1870 in Tennessee (age 66+). He married Patience Lyon, daughter of James Lyon, in 1816 in Tennessee. She was born in 1800 in Tennessee. She died on 26 Aug 1860 in Dresden, Weakey Co., Tenn. (age ~60). Notes for James Grant Roulstone: James Grant [or Gilliam] Roulstone was born about 1794 in Knox County, Tennessee, the eldest of six children born to George Roulstone and Elizabeth Jarratt Gilliam. James was named as one the eldest son in his father's 1804 will; "... to James Grant Roulston, my eldest son ...." His father died August 10, 1804. In 1813 when James was about age 18, he petitioned the court to be allowed to sell certain lots in Knoxville with the proceeds to be used to educate himself and other minor heirs of George Raulston. In 1816 in Tennessee, James, at the age of about 21, married Patience Lyon, age 16. Over the course of their marriage, the couple had nine known children and probably five others that are not known. The couple appeared in DeKalb County, Tennessee, as J. G. Roulstone, noted in the 1832-1833 records of Dr. Wright's store located in that county. On January 6, 1840 in Carroll County, James issued a deed to Edward Gwin. The sale is for "the following slaves, (to wit) One negro Boy Agnt about twenty two years old a negro girl Agness about thirteen years old a negro girl Beck about nine years old and a negro woman Edy about forty five years old to have and to hold the same to the said Edward Gwin that I am lawfully seized of Said negroes & have a good right to convey them." James appears to have purchase the four negos in or from New Orleans on credit with payments of $750 due in January of 1843 and $600 due in January of 1844. The deed appears to only give Edward Gwin the authority to sell the slaves if James defaults on his payments as the deed notes that the sale to Edwin is void if James is able to make the scheduled payments. It is unclear as to whether James was able to fulfill his obligation. The family moved once again and was enumerated in Lebanon, Wilson County, Tennessee, during the 1850 census. In 1860 the family was living in Dresden, Weakey County, Tennessee. James, Patience, daughters, Emily and Susan, and their youngest son, Alex, were still living at home. Living next door were sons John with James and Patience's daughter Elizabeth, and in the next house was James oldest son, George and his family. On August 26, 1860 Patience, his wife of some 44 years, died at the age of about 60. James' date and place of death is unknown. He is assumed to have remained in Weakey County until his death. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ History of Grantsborough, Tennessee Information from this article was extracted with permission from Dr. Miller McDonald's book Campbell County Tennessee USA: A History of Places, Faces, Happenings, Traditions, and Things, Vol. 1. Grantsborough, a small community located at the fork of the Clinch and Powell Rivers, was one of the first towns incorporated by the State of Tennessee. In December 1789, the Tennessee State Legislature granted a charter to James Grant, Jacob Womack, and John Owen to locate a town.

Generation 7 After several visits to the region, James Grant selected a 100 acres of land located on the north bank for the location of the new community. Since he had been to Philadelphia and liked the way it laid out, Grant used this city as a model for the new community which would bear his name. In 1798, Grantsborough was located in Knox County. In 1801, it was located in Anderson County. At the creation of Campbell County in 1806, it found its final home. The first building constructed was a log store built by Grant.

Mr. Hall's home during the greater part of his life was in Roxbury, in a venerable thee-story house of revolutionary times. He was a collector of antiques and recently presented some choice military relics to the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, of which he was a member.

Boston Journal, Wednesday, October 2, 1901, page 10 LIKE ROSA BONHEUR It Was the Ambition of Caroline Hall to Follow in Footsteps of the French Artist -- Eccentric, Not Insane Some time today the body of Caroline W. Hall, whose eccentric and strange life ended suddenly on the steamer Citta di Torino at New York Sunday, is expected to reach Boston. The young woman had for years passed as a man. Under the name of Charles Winslow Hall, she took passage on the steamer at Genoa, Italy, on Sept. 9. She was accompanied by a comely young Italian woman, who appeared on the ship's books as Mrs. Charles Winslow Hall. Her real name was Guiseppina Boriani. The couple had completely deceived all on board for the major part of the voyage, it being generally accepted that they were man and wife. ILLNESS REVEALED THE SECRET Then Miss Hall's sudden fatal illness revealed the true facts. Dr. Guilio Angrezani was called to attend the dying "Mr. Hall." He quickly discovered that Mr. Hall was a woman. To the physician she made a complete confession, declaring that her name was Caroline Hall and that the young woman traveling with her was her companion. On Sunday, just as the steamer reached New York, she died. She had been far advanced in consumption before she took passage on the Citta di Torino. She was on her way to visit her father, John R. Hall, a well-known Boston architect, whose home is at Centre and Linwood streets, Roxbury. A pathetic feature of the case is that Mr. Hall, who is an invalid, did not believe yesterday that his only daughter, who was an artist of great promise, was dead. A Boston Journal reporter found him at the home of his sister, Miss [Emily B] Hall, at Highland Avenue and Centre Street. Mr. Hall limped to the door, leaning on a cane.

Generation 8 "Can you give us any information about the case of your daughter, who died on the Citta di Torino?" asked the reporter. Denied Her Death "She's not dead," Mr. Hall replied. "We hear from New York that she is." "Well, I have not heard it. The fact is that my daughter and Josephine, her attendant, reached New York on the steamer and my daughter was ill. Josephine telegraphed me at once. She said Caroline was very ill. I at once sent word to my nephew, Arthur [sic Albert] G. Hall, and he went to New York Monday afternoon. He got to New York about six o'clock. This morning I have received a telegram from him. He does not say that Caroline is dead. He says that when he reached the ship both Caroline and Josephine had left. He couldn't find out where they went." "And he hasn't found out yet?" "No, he is looking for them." Miss Hall's Career At the request of the Boston Journal reporter, Mr. Hall told something about his daughter's career. She had been an artist ever since childhood. Her mother, who died last year, was also an artist. Mother and daughter traveled in Europe a great deal. Caroline had taken up her residence in Milan, Italy, some years ago, and had not been in Boston for a long time. She was on her way to visit him when she was taken ill. "Were you aware that she dressed in man's apparel?" asked the reporter. "Oh, yes," replied Mr. Hall, "we knew it. She was a great admirer of Rosa Bonheur, the French painter. Rosa, you know, wore male attire. Caroline met her and knew her in Paris. She was very much taken with Rosa and in fact became a imitator of her. She has worn male attire for some time. Tried to Paint Animals Apparently, Caroline had gone further that this in her imitation of Rosa Bonheur. A Boston Journal reporter learned yesterday that she copied the great Parisian's art in that she affected to paint portraits of animals, although she was really a water-color artist, and otherwise attempted to encroach upon the masculine field. Rosa Bonheur, it will be recalled, had a close friend in Anna Klumpke [1856-1942], an American girl, whose home is now in Boston. They were inseparable companions. At her death, Rosa bequeathed to Miss Klumpke practically her entire fortune.

Generation 8 The devoted friend of Caroline Hall was Josephine Borians, the pretty Italian girl, a native of Milan. She is a young woman of artistic taste and education. Her family, it is stated, was not wealthy. For the past 10 years she had been contantly with Miss Hall, and according to her statement in New York, she had taught a Government school in that city. Her story of the meeting with Miss Hall is said to display a characteristic of the young American artist. Miss Boriani said in speaking of it: "I was walking in the suburbs of Milan when I met Miss Hall. She looked at me. I caught her eye. Instantly we were attracted to each other. The feeling was irresistible. We paused and Miss Hall spoke. "'I like your looks,' she said. "'Do you?' I asked. "'Yes,' she replied. 'I want to know you better.' "'I like you very much,' I said. After that we became good friends. Miss Hall said she was the only child of her parents who lived in Boston. She said she had no brothers or sisters. She told me that I should be her sister henceforth. We got along well together. We were of the same temperament. At that time Miss Hall was a student at the Breire Art School in Milan. In Male Attire "At that school Miss Hall first became attached to male attire. The students, females as well as the males, wore while at work, trousers and a painter's jacket. She became attached to those garments. To me she often said she wished she could wear them all the time. They certainly were becoming to her. She had a rather masculine face, and, with her hair cut short, as it was most of the time, she could easily pass for a man outsid her circle of friends. The trousers she often said gave her more freedom in moving about. "When we went through Italy, as we often did, Miss Hall would dress herself in male attire. At first we traveled as brother and sister. That was six or more years ago. But it was scarcely satisfactory. She spoke with a decided accent, and it was not always easy to convince folks of our relationship. It caused suspicion and often annoyance. Then Miss Hall found a solution of the difficulty. She proposed that we travel as man and wife. She assumed the name of Charles Winslow Hall. I was Guiseppina Hall. For the past four years we have traveled in that way. We have escaped all the discomfort which we formerly experienced." Miss Boriani told this remarkable story through an interpreter, for she speaks very little English. She remained yesterday on the Citta di Torino waiting to see some of Miss Hall's relatives. But she did not see them up to noon. What leads to the conclusion that Miss Hall displays toward her the same spirit that Rosa Bonheur did to Miss Klumpke is this final expression of the young Italian woman: "What is to become of me? She told me she was wealthy and I was to have her money." Waiting on Tidings All day yesterday, Mr. Hall waited for further tidings from his nephew, Albert G. Hall. Finally, at 3 o'clock, a telegram reached the house at Centre Street and Highland Avenue. Miss Hall, the sister of John R., took it from the messenger boy. She excused herself to the Boston Journal reporter with whom she was talking and hurried in to show it to her brother, who was, she said, not feeling

Generation 8 well. Very soon she reappeared. "The telegram," she said, "is from Albert G. Hall. He says he will probably return tomorrow." "Does it say anything about Miss Hall's death?" asked the reporter. "Not a word," replied Miss Hall, "that doesn't look much as if she were dead." Her long absence abroad left Miss Hall with few acquaintances in Boston. She is remembered by the few persons who knew her as tall and masculine in appearance. She was also regarded as somewhat eccentric. The house in which she lived with her parents is a small old-fashioned house perched high over Centre Street, on a rock. It is a picturesque-looking place. Since the days when Miss Hall lived there, the vicinity has undergone considerable changes. very few, indeed, of the families who lived near by are there now. Tenement houses now occupy considerable space where then existed large, open fields. Her Friends Surprised The few friends who recall Miss Hall were very much surprised at the stories of her death and the attending circumstances. One of them said yesterday: "Miss Hall was eccentric, and that is all there is in the whole matter. There is absolutely no mystery in the case and nothing to make a sensation over. She was very foolish to try to bring her eccentric notions to this country, that's all. She left here to go abroad, as nearly as I can remember, when she was about 17 years old. Her mother, who was a Boston woman, with a strong taste for art, went with her and remained abroad about five years before returning to this country. Pictures in the Salon "After that she was over and back a number of times, I believe. Mrs. Hall painted as an amateur a little before going abroad, but afterwards she studied along with Miss Hall, and both became well known in art circles. Miss Hall, I believe, had one or more pictures in the Paris salon. She has been abroad all the time for the last 20 years except for a year about nine years ago, when she accompanied her mother on one of her trips home. But Miss Hall stayed less than a year, and then went back to Italy. She and her mother have had a country place just outside of Milan for the last 13 years. There Miss Hall enjoyed her outdoor life, and spent much time shooting and hunting. She was a good shot with a rifle, and when on her hunting trips she was accustomed to dress in man's clothing. That gave her much more freedom, of course, and nothing was thought of it over there. "In fact, I believe her change to man's clothing as her permanent dress came about because of her liking for the hunting costume. For she was not regarded by any of her relatives as anything but sound in her mind. There was no insanity about it. The Miss Boriana spoken of in the morning dispatches, I believe, was an artist friend of Miss Hall, who had spent much time with her at her Milan place for a number of years, and wh worked with her in art. Mrs. Hall was not only a painter, but a modeler. She had been back to this country once, I think, since soming back with Miss Hall, and her own death took place in Boston a

Generation 8 year or so ago [6 Aug 1900]." Died of Consumption As to the cause of Miss Hall's death, it is stated she suffered from consumption. When she boarded the Citta di Torino at Genoa she appeared in good health. Thereafter she frequently appeared about decks, often visiting the smoking room, and, it is stated, sometimes sipping Italian wine and other beverages. As the steamer neared New York, the colder climate seemed to affect her. She was taken so ill that she remained in her berth. Then the ship's physician was called and it was during his examination that Miss Hall's sex was discovered. She begged that the secret be kept from the other passengers. This was done, only the captain being informed. When the Health Officers of New York went on board and learned of Miss Hall's death, they had the body sent to Swinburne's Island. The ship had come from a port where the bubonic plague existed. An autopsy was held, and it was discovered that consumption was the cause of death. The end had been hastened by the use of stimulants taken by Miss Hall to relieve her distress. The Body Claimed Yesterday the body was claimed by Albert G. Hall. He had it prepared for shipment to this city. Miss Boriani will accompany it here. It will be taken in charge by Waterman, the Roxbury undertaker. At his place it was said last night the body had not reached Boston, and it was not known at what hour it would arrive. --- The Boston Journal reported a day later that the funeral, and burial at Forest Hills, would be "strictly private." Josephine Boriani, Miss Hall's companion, was invited to attend the funeral at the invitation of the family. 30.
