THOMAS ROLLINS second son and child of JAMES and HANNAH Rawlins (Rollins), was born perhaps in 1643, ancl resided at Bloody Point until after 1668, when he removed to Exeter, New Hampshire, and there passed the remainder of his life. His farm was located on the old road leading from Exeter to Hampton. He was one of the company of Edward Gove who were found in arms and endeavoring to overthrow the government of Governor Edward Cranfield, known as Gove's Rebellion. It is a matter of history that all except the leader in this rebellion were pardoned. On one of these petitions for the removal of Cranfield appears the name of THOMAS ROLLINS, and his rebellious blood seems to have been bequeathed to his descendants, for in the revolution twenty or more of them formed against the arbitrary government of George III. ROLLINS was a justice of the peace in 1682. He was married, about 1670, to RACHEL, daughter of MOSES and ALICE COX, of Hampton. It is probable that his death occurred about 1706, as the inventory of his property was returned to the probate office November 3 of that year. His children were: THOMAS, MOSES, JOSEPH, MARY, BENJAMIN, AARON, SAMUEL, JOHN, ALICE and RACHEL.
