     Benjamin Rollins enlisted on 29 September 1814, in New Hampshire, as a musician in Captain Edward Fuller's Company, New Hampshire Militia.¹³³
Known children of Catherine³ Ward and Benjamin Rollins were as follows:

•     101.  i.   Samuel Ward⁴ Rollins was born 3 March 1835 in Danville, Caledonia Co., Vermont.¹³⁴ He died 14 January 1865 cause of death: diseases contracted in Rebel Prisons of Georgia, age 29 years in Danville, Caledonia Co., Vermont.¹³⁵ He was buried in Danville Green Cemetery in Danville, Caledonia Co., Vermont.¹³⁶
  
       Samuel Ward Rollins enlisted on 21 September 1861, in St. Johnsbury, Caledonia Co., Vermont, as a private in Company G, 4th Vermont Infantry, for a period of 3 years.¹³⁷
       On 21 September 1861, Samuel Ward Rollins enlisted as a private in the newly formed 4th Vermont Infantry, the first of his family to enter the Union ranks.¹³⁸ The Fourth was part of the familus "Vermont Brigade." This brigade fought throughout the Civil War, and was commended for valor time and time again. Ward took part in some of the bloodiest fighting of the Civil War: Antietam in September 1862; Chancellorsville in May 1863, where he was wounded; and Gettysburg in July of the same year.¹³⁹ In November 1863, Ward was promoted to the rank of corporal in Company G.
  ¹³⁸ Was promoted.¹³⁸ Spent 6 months in five different rebel prisons, including Andersonville.¹⁴⁰ Was taken prisoner of war. His company, part of the famous "Old Vermont Brigade," was engaged in the assault, seige, and capture of Petersburg from 16 June 1864 to 3 April 1865.¹⁴¹
       Ward's brother-in-law, Henry Peck, joined the same regiment in January 1864,¹⁴² and the two proceeded to the battle that has been called Vermont's "Bloodiest Day," the Battle of the Wilderness. The Fourth lost 250 men on the first day of that battle.¹⁴³ Henry Peck was one of these casualties, wounded in his first battle experience. Ward came through unscathed. Less than three months before his term of service expired, however, on 23 June 1864 at the Battle of Weldon Railroad, Ward was taken prisoner.¹³⁸ 125 men from the 4th Vermont were captured that day and marched to Andersonville Prison in Georgia.¹⁴⁴ Was paroled.¹⁴¹


•     102.  ii.   John R. Rollins was born 12 April 1836 in Danville, Caledonia Co., Vermont.¹⁴⁵ He died 3 October 1862 in Vincennes, Iowa.¹⁴⁶ He was buried in Danville Green Cemetery, Danville, Caledonia Co., Vermont.¹¹¹
  
       Although the Danville town records give John Rollins' birth date as 12 April 1836, a date in accordance with his age as shown in the 1850 census and on his tombstone, all other records found to date show his birth as being circa 1837 to 1838. He is presumably the young boy less than five years of age shown in his father's household in the 1840 census of Danville, VT,¹⁴⁷ and is shown as a school boy, age 14, living with his family in Danville in 1850.³⁸ By 1860, John Rollins appears to have left Danville, and may have migrated to Iowa, but his 1860 census entry has yet to be found in Iowa records.
  
       John R. Rollins enlisted on 8 March 1862, in Fort Madison, Iowa, as a private in Company E (Captain Curtis F. Conn), 7th Iowa Infantry.¹⁴⁸
       John's death occurred 1862 in Vincennes, IA. The cause of death was not noted in the death notice found in the Rollins Family Scrapbook, but it is probably safe to assume that it was related to the debility noted on his military discharge papers. He was buried in his family's lot in Green Cemetery. His tombstone inscription, located on the reverse of brother Samuel's, reads "John Rollins// Aged 26// Son of Benj. & Catherine Rollins// A member of Co. E// 7th Iowa Infantry// died at Vencenns, Iowa, Oct. 3, 1862".

       Mary Frances Rollins was not found in the 1860 census enumeration of her father's household. However, there is a Nancy Rollins, age 5 years, shown in the household. No mention of a Nancy Rollins, daughter of Benjamin and Catherine, has been found in any other records: the handwritten family pages at the end of the Rollins scrapbook; the family monument in the Green Cemetery; or the Civil War pension application of Catherine Ward Rollins. Possibly Nancy is the nickname by which Mary Frances was known in the family.
  
       Mary Frances Rollins died 11 August 1863 at the age of 8 years 11 months. She was a victim of diphtheria, one of the many Caledonia County residents who died in an epidemic that year.¹⁴⁰ She was buried in the family lot in Green Cemetery near the stone marking the graves of her two older brothers. Her tombstone is inscribed "Mary F., dau of Benj. & Catherine Rollins, d. Aug. 11, 1863, Ae 8 ys. 11 mo".

31. Vilinda³ Ward (Josiah², Samuel¹) was born April 1814 in North Danville, Caledonia Co., Vermont.²⁰⁹ She married John Emerson 17 March 1835 in North Danville, Caledonia Co., Vermont.²¹⁰ She died 4 May 1838 in North Danville, Caledonia Co., Vermont.¹⁵ She was buried in Ward Cemetery in North Danville, Caledonia Co., Vermont.¹⁵

John Emerson was born 18 April 1808.²⁹ He married Arabel R. Miles 12 February 1844 ceremony performed by R. L. Harvey, M.G. [The groom resided at the time in Wheelock] in Danville, Caledonia Co., Vermont.⁹³ He died 25 February 1891 in St. Johnsbury, Caledonia Co., Vermont.²⁹ He was buried in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, St. Johnsbury, Caledonia Co., Vermont.²⁹
Known children of Vilinda³ Ward and John Emerson were as follows:

•     139.  i.   Rachel⁴ Emerson was born January 1837 calculated from age at death in North Danville, Caledonia Co., Vermont.¹⁵ She died 26 February 1838 in North Danville, Caledonia Co., Vermont.¹⁵ She was buried in Ward Cemetery in North Danville, Caledonia Co., Vermont.¹⁵


• +  140.  ii.   Hiram W. Emerson was born 4 June 1838 date calculated from age at death. His mother's tombstone gives her date of death as 4 June ---. I would assume that his birth date probably coincides with her death date in Wheelock, Caledonia Co., Vermont. He married Mary E. Hale say 1862.

32. Betsey³ Ward (Josiah², Samuel¹) was born 1815.¹⁵ She married Harrison Weeks, son of Samuel Weeks and Ruth Eastman, 23 March 1836 in Danville, Caledonia Co., Vermont, marriage performed by Shuback Boston, M.G.⁴³ She died 1841.¹⁵ She was buried in Ward Cemetery in North Danville, Caledonia Co., Vermont.¹⁵

     No direct evidence stating the parentage of Betsey Ward has been found, but it is unlikely that she comes from some Ward family unrelated to the Caledonia County Wards. She cannot be a daughter of Samuel Ward [Junior] as she was still living at the time of his death in 1835 and does not appear in any of the estate papers. There is no room for her birth in the family, barring twins, and all household residents shown in the 1820 and 1830 census entries for his family are accounted for. Thaddeus Ward has a daughter named Betsey, born in 1823, who is still living at the time he writes his will in 1843.
     This leaves the family of Josiah Ward. Both the 1820 and 1830 census enumerations of his family have an unknown female present who could be Betsey. A pattern of marrying a sibling after the death of a spouse exists in this extended family [Amasa Ford Clark marries sisters Clarissa and Belinda Ward; John P. Weeks marries sisters Abigail and Hannah Ward; Lavinia Weeks marries brothers Benaiah and Samuel H. Ward]. The natural place for Harrison Weeks to seek a new spouse and mother to his children, including the infant Hiram, would be among his deceased wife's sisters. Betsey is deceased at the time her putative father Josiah wrote his will in 1859, but he makes no mention of her children. If the parentage is correct, their stepmother, Susannah (Ward) Weeks was also a daughter of Josiah, so naming these children may not have been perceived as important. Although Betsey's identity as a daughter of Josiah Ward is likely, it is still unconfirmed.


Harrison Weeks was born 21 May 1815 in Danville, Caledonia Co., Vermont.²¹¹ He married (2), after the death of his wife, her sister Susannah Ward, daughter of Josiah Ward and Susannah Hayward, 4 January 1842 in St. Johnsbury, Caledonia Co., Vermont.²¹² He died 20 May 1888 in Danville, Caledonia Co., Vermont.⁹⁹ He was buried in Ward Cemetery, North Danville, Caledonia Co., Vermont.¹⁵

•     143.  i.   John G.⁴ Cutler was born 1838 . Although the 1850 census entry lists him as John Ward, the tombstone in Mt.
