| (1) | Florence Rolle probably fits here | ||||||||||||||
| Florence is identified in BE1883 as "dau. and co-heir of Dennis Rolle, Esq." It is a presumption that her father was this Denys but that would have supported the inheritance of Stevenstone by her husband and, noting that BE1883 reports that her husband died "at an advanced age", the dates fit. | |||||||||||||||

| m. Mary Yeo (dau of Robert Yeo of Heanton) | |||||||||||||||
| A. | Robert (?) Rolle of Heanton or Hainton | ||||||||||||||
| Not named by BE1883, this was probably the 'Robert Rolle of Heanton Satchville' identified as father of Margaret. Whilst (looking at the marriages of 2 children of Theophilus Clinton, Earl of Lincoln) the generations might suggest that he might have been a brother of the following Samuel & Henry, BE1883 identifies the above Henry was "grandfather of two brothers, Sir Samuel ... and Henry" which, whilst not saying that there was not another brother of that generation, is suggestive of that fact whilst his daughter Margaret's dates also support the view that he was of this generation. | |||||||||||||||
| i. | Sir Samuel Rolle of Heanton or Hainton | ||||||||||||||
| BE1883 identified Sir Samuel as "ancestor (in the female line) of Lord Clinton. It is presumed that he was father of the following Robert whose line is given in BP1934 (Clinton). | |||||||||||||||

| m1. (26.03.1724) Robert Walpole, 2nd Earl of Orford (d 31.03.1751) | |||||||||||||||

| (2) | Bridget Rolle (b 1648, d 28.08.1721) | ||||||||||||||
| m. (23.07.1672) Francis Trefusis of Trefusis (d 11.1680) | |||||||||||||||
| Their great-great-grandson became 17th Lord Clinton (and had issue). | |||||||||||||||

| Possibly of this family, of this generation, but (if so) by which wife in unknown, was ... | |||||||||||||||
| 9. | Elizabeth Rolle | ||||||||||||||
| This connection is presumptuous because Elizabeth's father is identified mererly as 'George Rolle'. However, the generations are about right and her daughter was grandmother of the Sir John Acland who married Margaret Rolle above. | |||||||||||||||
