The Rolls family were substantial landowners and benefactors in and around Monmouth in south east Wales. Charles Stewart Rolls was the co-founder of the Rolls-Royce company. The ascent of the family to the aristocracy was through marriage. The family's arms were described in 1852 as:〔( Sir Bernard Burke, ''A genealogical and heraldic dictionary of the landed gentry of Great Britain & Ireland for 1852'', Colburn and Company, 1852, p.1143 ).

He settled in London and acquired a valuable estate in along the area of Old Kent Road between the parishes of Bermondsey and Camberwell (both now part of Southwark) Surrey. In his will published in 1677 he left his estate to his only surviving child, Sarah, who was the wife of Dr Elisha Coysh, a physician from London.〔 Their daughter married William Allen, who also bought land in Monmouthshire.〔 William Allen's daughter and heir married her cousin Thomas Coysh.〔 They were succeeded by their son Richard, who was succeeded by his sister Sarah Coysh (d. 1801), the eventual sole heir of the families of Coysh, Allen and James. Sarah married John Rolls (1735–1801) of the Grange, Bermondsey, and of the Hendre, Monmouthshire, High Sheriff of Monmouthshire in 1794, bringing him much property both in Monmouthshire and London. John Rolls died the day after his wife. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rolls family」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
