Biographical History

Margaret Grattan Weaver (1905-2001), was a member of two of the most distinguished families in Rockingham County, the Rollers and the Grattans. She was known throughout the Shenandoah Valley for her involvement in civic, historic, and religious organizations including the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Harrisonburg-Rockingham Historical Society, and the Margaret Grattan Weaver Foundation, which she founded in 1997.

John Edwin Roller (1844-1918), born near Mt. Crawford, was a prominent lawyer, lecturer, and antiquarian in the Shenandoah Valley. He served in the Confederate Army, and in 1872 became major-general of the 3rd Division of the Virginia Militia. Roller also served four sessions in the Virginia State Senate and was the first president of the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Historical Society.

Gabriel Jones (1724-1806), lawyer and land owner, was one of the earliest settlers in Rockingham County. According to John Wayland, local historian, he was the first appointed lawyer for both Augusta and Rockingham Counties. By the time of his death, he owned nearly 1200 acres.
