Husband of Elizabeth Payne Roller.
Son of Jacob Roller Sr. and Eva Zirkle.

Elias Roller family and the Paynes' all lived near each other in Scott County Virginia and Hancock County, Tennesee. Englands owned England Valley, Enoch Payne owned land in Scott County, Virgina and Hancock County, Tennessee. The old log house where Elias and Elizabeth first lived is still standing. The house that Enoch Paynes lived in, where the state marker is in the yard, is still lived in. Elias and Elizabeth with all their children and their families, except Andrew, migrated from Tennessee and Virginia in 1859 to Christian County, Missouri and after the civil war settled along Spring Creek, southeast of Ava near Smallett. Elias was called Grey Dad. Elizabeth was virtually blind as a result of scarlet fever but functioned very well and was a mid-wife. Just before the Civil War there was a mass exodus from that part of the country as they could see what was coming. Most of these people could not read or write and their speech was that of "mountain people", however they seemed very smart in business affairs. (From Mable Harp's book).
