Hannah Rogillio was born November 23, 1811 in East Feliciana Parish, Louisiana. She was the daughter of Policarpio Rogillio and Margaret Kelly Thomas.

Hannah Rogillio, born 23 November 1822, died 2 January 1846, was the daughter of Policarpo Rogillio, a Castilian Spaniard of noble birth, son of Jose' Rogillio and Mary Ruffina, natives of the LaSuza District of Toledo, Spain. (The 'noble birth' has not been documented, although the story has been passed down through the family for several years).
Policarpo had been shipwrecked near the mouth of the Mississippi River, had managed to get ashore, and made his way north to Baton Rouge where he was married, first to Mary Smith about whom we know nothing; then to Margaret Kelly, a widow whose maiden name was Thomas. Both Hannah and Mary (who married Solomon Morgan Brian) were children of Policarpo Rogillio and Margaret Kelly. Margaret Thomas Kelly was the daughter of Ellis Thomas and his wife Arvina, who came to this country from Wales.

Francis Brian (b. 1805) was a younger brother of S.M. Brian born of the same godly parents in East Feliciana, where he married Hannah Rogilio whose father was a Castilian Spaniard and mother the daughter of a Dutch farmer. From this union there were eight children, Hardy, Benjamin Franklin, and James, and Mary, Matilda, Martha, Lydia, and Elizabeth, all of these raising families. His wife, Hannah, died 1/2/1846, and he married the widow Thompson whose maiden name was Salome Causey, by whom was raised Iley Marion, Solomon Morgan, Theodosia Adaline, and Francis Nathaniel who also all raised families.
Francis Brian and family moved from East Feliciana to Caldwell Parish in Feb'y 1847, where he died on 27th of Feb'y, 1860 of paralysis. He was a devout leader of the Baptist Church and deacon in same. He was also noted for his fatherly advice and leadership in the communities where he lived. His son Benjamin Franklin, was my father, and was born in East Feliciana Parish 29th day of Nov., 1833. He moved to Caldwell Parish with his father in 1847 and in 1852, Nov. 18, he married Rosanna Roe of Winn Parish, his marriage licenses being first issued at Winnfield after organization of parish.
My mother, Rosanna Roe was born on Big Creek in Grant (now) then Rapides Parish in Sept. 26, 1836 and her father was Samuel Roe and mother Rosanna Stevens also born in La.
My father's children were Louisiane, Hannah Matilda, Laura Alie, Isabelle, Lydia, Hester (died infant), Hardy Lee, Harvey Iley, Francis Nathaniel, Mary Rogilio, and Zenobia Emiline. He was a blacksmith, running two forges when war broke out in 1861. He was rejected a volunteer in the infantry but joined the cavalry and served the Confederacy four years and twenty days, as cavalryman, courier and scout, coming home after Lee's surrender to find his $4000 in slaves freed, his trade all gone and six children and wife to support. He recommenced his blacksmithing on Fish Creek in Grant Parish (then Rapides) where the writer was born on 7/11/1865, and continued it till the railroads came with modern machinery.
He joined the Baptist Church in his early married life and was ordained a regular Minister which he followed until his death. He died in Oct. 1896 of kidney troubles, on Big Creek where he had lived for twenty-eight years. He died in the full triumph of a living faith, regretting only that pecuniary circumstances had compelled him to almost abandon the ministry in the last few years of his life. He was beloved by all his neighbors and for miles around they came to see him in his last illness. For many years in eastern Grant he has been a kind of patriarch to the people - their doctor, their lawyer, their blacksmith, and their preacher - a father to the widow and orphan, and a patient arbiter of all their differences, and no amount of politics or new ideas on religion could or ever did wean them away from him.
A modest marble shaft, in the Friendship Church graveyard marks his dust but his life is still bright in the minds and hearts of his neighbors and descendants, and his score or more of grandsons now reaching manhood can find no greater compliment to each other than "You show the blood of your old grandfather."
