The Early Sturgeon to Br. County, Ind. was Rolla/Rollie or other varient spellings.
He was descended from the Sturgeons who came from N. Ireland before the Amer. Revolution.
They were in Pa. Paxtang and Mifflintown, near Harrisburg.
They migrated to Ky. and many to Indiana at an early time.
Claudis T. McCoy's History of the Sturgeon Family has the link to Rolla/Rollie. Many
of the Sturgeons now living in Br. Co. Ind. are descended from him. I am a thrice Past
President of The Sturgeon and Allied Families Association. If you wish to be on the

will be in S. Indiana, probably in Jackson Co., Ind.
