sarah coysh -lrb- c. 1742 -- 1801 -rrb- was the heiress to the estates of the coysh , allen , and james families .
her marriage to john rolls -lrb- 1735 -- 1801 -rrb- illustrates one of the methods by which the renowned rolls family of monmouthshire , wales , and london , england , accumulated and improved their properties and advanced their social rank during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries .
by 1830 , her son john rolls of the hendre in llangattock-vibon-avel , monmouthshire , near monmouth , had made the estate his country seat and undertaken the first of several expansions of the mansion .
by 1892 , two expansions later , his grandson john a rolls had been elevated to the peerage and had become baron llangattock of the hendre .
at the turn of the twentieth century , following the mansion 's fourth enlargement , the family was honoured with a visit from the future king george v and queen mary , then the duke and duchess of york .
the royal visit included a ride in the automobile '' -lrb- pictured -rrb- '' of lord llangattock 's son charles stewart rolls , future aviation pioneer and co-founder of rolls-royce .
this article explores the genealogy of sarah coysh 's branch of the family tree , starting with james james -lrb- d. 1677 -rrb- , one of the earliest identified rolls ancestors with substantial property in monmouthshire and london .
