• Roland_Theodore_Symonette abstract "Sir Roland Theodore Symonette (16 December 1898 – 13 March 1980) achieved high office as a Bahamian political figure. Roland "Pop" Symonette was one of many children of Methodist minister Edwin Symonette and his wife Lavania (née Weech) on the small island settlement of Current, Eleuthera.

With the profits from rum-running, Symonette invested in real estate, liquor stores and eventually, a shipyard.

In 1925, Symonette campaigned successfully for a seat in the Bahamas' House of Assembly. Symonette served in the House, representing the Shirlea district until his retirement in 1977.
