Henry Rolfe
NOTES: The "husbandman" whose will
(transcribed by Elizabeth French in Genealogical Research in England)
is, to my current knowledge, the oldest extant document in our family's
history, and one that gives a succinct picture of the simple
farming
households and community of the 16th-century Wiltshire Rolfes.
See
notes on Richard (1545- ca.
1667). Living to about age 43, Henry outdid his son (22) and
grandson
(31) in longevity.
