Possible burial, as he died in Gray Summit and had no known family cemetery.

Probably son of William Falwell and his wife Ann.

His middle initial was either "D" or "C".

1829 Buckingham Co., VA - Roland Falwell appears for the first time.

He married first about 1830 (or 1829) in Buckingham Co., VA to Mary ___.

From researcher Wade Falwell:
"Roland Falwell owned land on ?appo? 20 miles SW of courthouse. The abbreviation ?appo? may mean Appomattox since that would be very near the Appomattox county line. In 1840 Roland sold his part of James S. Webb to W. Gowan.
There is no question in my mind that Roland is closely related to Robert. The Personal Property Taxes of Buckingham County indicate that Robert and Roland lived near each other in district #2 of Buckingham County. Robert first appears in 1811 living near Richard Falwell Sr, William Falwell, and Richard Falwell Jr. In 1829 Roland Falwell appears for the first time. His name appears as Roland C. Falwell. Also appearing in the 1829 Tax list are David Falwell, and William Falwell. Both Robert and Roland have left that area by 1840."

1830 census - haven't found as a head-of-household.

1840 census - haven't found as a head-of-household.

1840 - Roland sells land in Albemarle and Buckingham counties:
"There is a record of land being sold in 1840 by a Roland Falwell in Albemarle County, VA, which matches the date that Robert sold his land in Buckingham Co., VA (possibly after having already left for MO). Albemarle Co., VA is also where Samuel Falwell was married in 1830."

[From Jeff Faulwell]
"According to the letter I mention in my last message, Richard Falwell [son of Roland and Mary] was born in a covered wagon in Virginia on November 10, 1842 "while the family was on their way to Illinois." The letter goes on to say they "moved to Franklin Co. Missouri from Illinois because of the bushwackers."

Nov 1842 - Son Richard born in Indiana.

1846 - Roland bought 40 acres of land in the St. Louis, MO Land District:

By 1850, they were in Franklin Co., MO. This was not the county township that Robert (who died in 1840 after having apparently been in MO only a year or two) had lived in, but Roland came to MO after Robert's death in Oct 1840, possibly traveling with Robert's two married daughters, Mary Johnson and Martha Johnson, and their husbands and children:

William and Richard Falwell bought 194 acres of land in Missouri, about 25 miles east of Union near the Bourbesue River, just south of the old rock road to St. Louis that same year. I believe this was around the time they arrived in the area (perhaps after spending a little time in St. Louis).

Jeff Faulwell
"One of my Missouri cousins recently sent me a copy of a letter written by Bloom Richard Faulwell, which outlines the Falwell pilgrimage from Virginia to Missouri.
In that letter, he mentions he did some research on the family back in 1975 and was able to find documents regarding Robert Falwell in an old courthouse in Union, Missouri, the county seat of Franklin County. He learned that Robert Falwell had two sons named Joseph and William. His will dated in 1842 left his estate to Joseph and William. He also mentions in his letter that he believes Robert Falwell was a brother to Roland Falwell. Roland also had a son named William, so there may have been a connection between them. There is no mention in the letter of a Samuel Falwell.
In case you're wondering, Roland had a son named Richard who purchased land in Missouri on May 31, 1866. He signed with an "X", and the county clerk mispelled the name "Faulwell", and it has stayed that way ever since. Since there is no other source for this spelling, every Faulwell can trace their family back to Richard.
Bloom got this information from his grandfather, Richard. He admits that his grandfather was a man of few words who knew very little of his background."

In 1880, Richard and Susan were next door to both Susan Falwell (widow of William) and Roland Falwell Jr:

Possible burial, as he died in Gray Summit and had no known family cemetery.

Probably son of William Falwell and his wife Ann.

His middle initial was either "D" or "C".

1829 Buckingham Co., VA - Roland Falwell appears for the first time.

He married first about 1830 (or 1829) in Buckingham Co., VA to Mary ___.

From researcher Wade Falwell:
"Roland Falwell owned land on ?appo? 20 miles SW of courthouse. The abbreviation ?appo? may mean Appomattox since that would be very near the Appomattox county line. In 1840 Roland sold his part of James S. Webb to W. Gowan.
There is no question in my mind that Roland is closely related to Robert. The Personal Property Taxes of Buckingham County indicate that Robert and Roland lived near each other in district #2 of Buckingham County. Robert first appears in 1811 living near Richard Falwell Sr, William Falwell, and Richard Falwell Jr. In 1829 Roland Falwell appears for the first time. His name appears as Roland C. Falwell. Also appearing in the 1829 Tax list are David Falwell, and William Falwell. Both Robert and Roland have left that area by 1840."

1830 census - haven't found as a head-of-household.

1840 census - haven't found as a head-of-household.

1840 - Roland sells land in Albemarle and Buckingham counties:
"There is a record of land being sold in 1840 by a Roland Falwell in Albemarle County, VA, which matches the date that Robert sold his land in Buckingham Co., VA (possibly after having already left for MO). Albemarle Co., VA is also where Samuel Falwell was married in 1830."

[From Jeff Faulwell]
"According to the letter I mention in my last message, Richard Falwell [son of Roland and Mary] was born in a covered wagon in Virginia on November 10, 1842 "while the family was on their way to Illinois." The letter goes on to say they "moved to Franklin Co. Missouri from Illinois because of the bushwackers."

Nov 1842 - Son Richard born in Indiana.

1846 - Roland bought 40 acres of land in the St. Louis, MO Land District:

By 1850, they were in Franklin Co., MO. This was not the county township that Robert (who died in 1840 after having apparently been in MO only a year or two) had lived in, but Roland came to MO after Robert's death in Oct 1840, possibly traveling with Robert's two married daughters, Mary Johnson and Martha Johnson, and their husbands and children:

William and Richard Falwell bought 194 acres of land in Missouri, about 25 miles east of Union near the Bourbesue River, just south of the old rock road to St. Louis that same year. I believe this was around the time they arrived in the area (perhaps after spending a little time in St. Louis).

Jeff Faulwell
"One of my Missouri cousins recently sent me a copy of a letter written by Bloom Richard Faulwell, which outlines the Falwell pilgrimage from Virginia to Missouri.
In that letter, he mentions he did some research on the family back in 1975 and was able to find documents regarding Robert Falwell in an old courthouse in Union, Missouri, the county seat of Franklin County. He learned that Robert Falwell had two sons named Joseph and William. His will dated in 1842 left his estate to Joseph and William. He also mentions in his letter that he believes Robert Falwell was a brother to Roland Falwell. Roland also had a son named William, so there may have been a connection between them. There is no mention in the letter of a Samuel Falwell.
In case you're wondering, Roland had a son named Richard who purchased land in Missouri on May 31, 1866. He signed with an "X", and the county clerk mispelled the name "Faulwell", and it has stayed that way ever since. Since there is no other source for this spelling, every Faulwell can trace their family back to Richard.
Bloom got this information from his grandfather, Richard. He admits that his grandfather was a man of few words who knew very little of his background."
