Sir Samuel Rolle (c. 1588 – 1647)[1] of Heanton Satchville in the parish of Petrockstowe, Devon, served as Member of Parliament for Callington, Cornwall in 1640 and for Devon 1641–1647. He supported the parliamentary side in the Civil War.

Origins

Rolle was born c. 1588,[1] the eldest son and heir of Robert Rolle (died 1633) of Heanton Satchville in the parish of Petrockstowe, Devon, by his wife Joan Hele, daughter of Thomas Hele of Fleet, Devon. Samuel was a great-grandson, in a junior line, of George Rolle (c. 1486 – 1552) of Stevenstone, Devon, founder of the influential and wealthy Rolle family of Devon, Keeper of the Records of the Court of Common Pleas and MP for Barnstaple in 1542 and 1545.

Samuel's brothers included[2] Sir Henry Rolle (1589–1656), of Shapwick in Somerset, Chief Justice of the King’s Bench and MP; and John Rolle (1598–1648) a Turkey Merchant and MP.

Career

In April 1640 Rolle was elected Member of Parliament for Callington in the Short Parliament. In 1641 he was elected MP for Devon in the Long Parliament where he remained until his death in 1647.[3]

Lands acquired

In 1634, he and his brother Henry Rolle, and their brother-in-law Hugh Fortescue of Filleigh[4] purchased an estate at Bawdrip.[5]

Marriage and children

Rolle married three times. His first wife was Mary Stradling (died 1613), a daughter and co-heiress of Sir Edward Stradling of St George's, Somerset[2] (a member of the Stradling family of St Donat's Castle, Glamorgan, Wales). Her monumental brass survives in the parish church of St Stephens by Saltash, Cornwall.[6] By her Rolle had two children, Samuel and Rebecca, who both died as infants and were buried at Launceston, Cornwall.[2]

His second marriage was to Margaret Wise, daughter of Sir Thomas Wise[7] (died 1629), builder of Sydenham House, in the parish of Marystow, Devon. By Margaret he had children including his son and heir, Robert Rolle (died 1660), MP.[8]

Thirdly he married a daughter from the Carew family, of unknown name.[2]

Brass of Marie Stradling

A monumental brass to Rolle's first wife, Marie Stradling, survives in the parish church of St Stephen-by-Saltash, Cornwall, affixed to the wall at the east end of the north aisle, formerly on the floor by the altar. The inscription reads:

Here lyeth the bodie of Marie one of ye daughters & heyres of Edmond Stradlinge of St Georges in Somersett Esq. who maried Samuell ye eldest sonne of Robert Rolle of Heaunton in Devon Esq. She dyed yr {{sic|23|th|hide=y}} of Janua. 1613.
