I agree that they are the same person, just having concerns about the last name. I went back a few generations and looked at original documents that included the last name and most of them use 'Ralston'. Could not find a primary source of birth name. Shall we flip a coin? Just kidding. Supposed to have a source. Family Search uses 'Ralston' but no source there except Census records and military pension information. Any more ideas?
Ralston-1254 and Rolston-290 appear to represent the same person because: same dates, obvious duplicate
