Boone County, Missouri Wills - Anthony Wayne Rollins Anthony Wayne Rollins was a doctor who lived in Boone County, Missouri. He moved there from Kentucky in 1830, when he retired. This is a partial transcription of his will. After Rollins' death in 1846, all his slaves and some of his land were left to his widow, Sarah Harris Rollins. The complete will is approximately 70 pages long. This section looks like an addendum. It was filed in 1858, and distributes the slaves among Rollins' family, after Sarah's death in 1856. Punctuation has been added to improve legibility. Settlement of James S. Rollins, John W. Rollins and R. R. Rollins, executors of the estate of Anthony W.
