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).
