I live in Sandy and I'm a ward consultant. I come through Sarah Jane Walters, Enoch's second wife. I'm thrilled to make a connection with someone from his first wife, Sophia's line. The history you have has been written nicely.
Thank you for your wonderful response and information. I have saved the histories and appreciate them greatly. Are you familiar with the book: Records of Families of the name Rawlins or Rollins in the United States, Compiled by John R. Rollins. I've attached the pgs. about James Rollins, but it goes down through the generations. The page about Enoch starts with the quote from his book about Enoch. It's humorous to me how John Rollins viewed our line.
I was talking to a friend yesterday who found her ancestors in Nauvoo at the records office. She found a map showing where they lived, etc. Do you know anyone that has that kind of info? I'm interested in gathering as much information as possible on the Rollins line.
Since yesterday was my first experience with the New FamilySearch I was dismayed to find that it seems it will take hours upon hours to get the lines straightened out. Did you spend a lot of time on the Rollins' line? I thought the lines were going to be connected with most of the merges completed. It seems to be a huge mess. Can you tell me about your experience with it. I'm a bit discouraged to see lines not connected, children missing, a grandson listed as the parent, etc. It feels like the old familysearch all over again with all it's mistakes and worse. I really thought it would be much better. What is your advice in approaching this?
I appreciate you, your quick return and all the great information!
Thanks!

I just got access myself to the New FamilySearch and saw your name listed with Enoch Perham Rollins. How are you related? Where do you live? Are you doing research on this line? I just wanted to make a connection with you.
