I think your Thomas is the T. Rolls in the 1850 Lack, Juniata, Pa census, aged 1, with parents E.Rolls (28) and wife E.Rolls(23) and sister M.E. Rolls (aged 7 months - census was taken in August, so M.E. must have been born abt Jan 1850). On page 18 if this same census, is Thomas' future wife's family - S & S Wagoner, with 3 young children (John, Ann and Solomaon). The Wagoners are in the 1860 Clay, Huntingdon census with daughter Christina and by the 1870 Clay, Huntingdon, your Thomas Rolls is living with this Wagoner family.
Thomas and Christina remain in Clay, Huntingdon, Pa for the 1880, 1900 and 1910 censuses, marrying abt late 1870 (after census was taken).
I can't find Thomas' family after the 1850 census, so suspect that maybe his father E. Rolls may have died and that perhaps his mother E. Rolls may have remarried. I can't find sister M.R. Rolls either, so she either died or is using her mother's new surname??
From Thomas and Christina's children, it seems obvious that children # 2 & 3 were named after her parents (Samuel and Serepta), but who was child #1, Howard, named after? And what does the E. stand for in his father's name: Edward? Edwin? Elmer? Did the census-taker mishear their first child's name and enter Howard but really it should have been Edward??
Anyway, that certainly seems to be him in the 1850, and in the same county and township as his future wife's family.
Hope this helps,
Susan
