• Notes

  Wagon maker and repairer. Moved from Bainbridge to Hallock, Illinois in 1836. The area where Roswell and his son Isaiah settled was known as Blue Ridge. The name Hallack was used, when the Post Office was established because there was already a Blue Ridge in Illinois. Buried in Blue Ridge Cemetery. ---------- Reference: "Nurse Genealogy", Henry H.
