Hello again--- Ooops! I neglected to list the given names of the Bowling / Boldens on my last posting. Sorry: William b. IN 1819-1820. Died? don't know, perhaps Arkansas after 1897?. Maried four times. Son of Rev War vet Joseph BOWLING. (Info from his mother's widow's pension app.in 1858., Greene Co, IN.) Joseph was a lot older than his 2nd wife Martha (WILLIAMS). William's wives:: to Hannah TRUSTY 1838 to Pharabe LASHBROOKS 1868 to Nancy MARALETT in 1874 to Sarah TILLERY in 1884. All of the marriages took place in Orange County, IN. Children by Hannah TRUSTY were Jeremiah born in IN in 1840 and John W. born 1845 in IN. William spelled his surname BOLLING. Court documents for his mother Martha WILLIAMS) BOWLING's Rev War widow's pension file application shows William's parents were Martha (WILLIAMS) and Joseph BOWLING, born 1753 and died 1836 (in Orange Co IN.) I do not know if William had any children by his other wives (I don't know their ages when he married them either.) Jeremiah spelled his name BOLDEN. He married Jane Ann Cox aka Anne Jane COX, in Orange Co IN in 1860. Jeremiah and Ann's children were: James W. BOLDEN b 1862 in IN Jacob BOLDEN b. abt. 1863 in IN. (May be the Jacob on Van Buren Co , AR 1900 census) John W. b. 1866. Interviw with 91 r old son indicates they lived in Blytheville, AR, Mississipi Co area. Returned to Orange Co IN in 1893. Martha b. 1868 in IN . No other info. Reuben b. 1874 in IN (Ann's father was Reuben COX). No info Philip b 1877 in IN. No info Sarah born 1878 in IN. No info. ---- Other clues: A Jerry BOLDEN was found on the AR Land Records, purchasing land in Marion Co, (what twp? Prairie Twp?) in 1897. A William BOLLING purchased land in Marion Co AR in 1897. A descendant of Jeremiah found a Jacob BOLDEN listed on the Marion Co AR, court docket for 1884-1896. Later a Jacob BELDON or BOLDEN was on 1900 Soundex for Van Buren Co. I wasn't able to find a 1900 census, but a very nice lady helped me and there was a Jacob BOLDEN in 1900 in Red River Twp Van Buren CO. Jacob BOLDEN born Aug. 1864 in IN, father born TN (could be error?) mother born IN, farmer Tabitha, wife, born Sep 1863, born TN, father and mother born TN. What was her maiden name? Their children : James W.. b. 1887 in AR Jennie R, daughter, b. 1889 in AR Jerry P. a son, b. 1892 in AR Clyde C. b. listed as a daughter???) born 1894 in AR King W. a son, b 1898 in AR -----I would like to find this Jacob on a 1910 census. I looked at Van BUREN and couldn't locate him. I would like to correspond with Jacob's descendants, as a direct descendant wants to do further research,including a visit to Arkansas in the spring.. ANY info is appreciated!!! Thank you so much, Joanne Lehman erictem@earthlink.net
