He was admitted to the First Congregational Church in 1835. He and Mary Jane were dismissed in the fall of 1837 to travel to the Iowa Territory (now Minnesota) as missionaries to the Ojibwe Tribe.

Sometime before the summer of 1849, the family moved near Sandusky in Erie Co., OH where it is likely that Rollin was employed as carpenter for the Methodist church that was being built that year.
