This is a sketch taken from the Confederate Veteran Mag. dated 1921, page 229. This is not my family , only post articles.
ALBERT H. ROLLER, Confederate veteran, died at his home near Weyer's Cave, Va., Aug. 31, 1921, in his 84 year. He was born and reared in Angusta Co., Va., a s/o JOHN W. and SUSAN ROLLER, and a direct descendant of JOHN ROLLER, a member of Colonel PASEY'S regiment during the Rev. War, under the command of Washington at the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown in 1781.
At the outbreak of the War Between the States, ALBERT ROLLER and three of his brothers enlisted in the Confederate army and served with distinction and gallantry throughout the war. He was at that time in business in Roanake Co., Va. so it was his fortune to cast his lot with Company I, known as the 'Roanoke Grays'. Early in the spring of 1861 they offered their services , under the command of CAPT. M.P. DEYERLEY, and the company became a part of the 28th Virginia Regiment of Infantry. He was a lieut in Pickett's charge at Gettysburg, and was one of the few men to reach the top of the ridge. Comrade ROLLER was a devoted member of Mt. Horeb Presbyterian Church and an elder in that church for 49 years. He is survived by his wife, who was MISS ANN CARPENTER and 3 children- MRS. JAMES B. RAWLINGS, HERBERT H. and J. WILMER ROLLER.
