biography text
Great-nephew of Henry Rolle, M.P., lord chief justice, Rolle was returned for Callington on his family’s interest. No vote of his is recorded after 1715. A member of the October Club, reputed to be a ‘furious Jacobite’, he held in particular aversion his neighbour John Harris whom he called ‘the Hanover rat’.1T. Moore, Devonshire, 541-2. But after his death in November 1719 his widow married Harris, while his sole surviving daughter Margaret married Robert Walpole, later 2nd Earl of Orford.
