  From  Easton's  1897  Bible  Dictionary  [easton]: 
 
  Rufus 
  red,  the  son  of  Simon  the  Cyrenian  (Mark  15:21),  whom  the  Roman 
  soldiers  compelled  to  carry  the  cross  on  which  our  Lord  was 
  crucified.  Probably  it  is  the  same  person  who  is  again  mentioned 
  in  Rom.  16:13  as  a  disciple  at  Rome,  whose  mother  also  was  a 
  Christian  held  in  esteem  by  the  apostle.  Mark  mentions  him  along 
  with  his  brother  Alexander  as  persons  well  known  to  his  readers 
  (Mark  15:21).
