DAD, DID I EVER SEND THIS TO YOU? I REC'D IT EARLY AUG. AND THOUGHT IT WAS INTERESTING.

Here are some early Bolin family Deeds I copied while on a recent trip to Stoddard Co., Mo. Bernadine Teague Deed Book B, pg. 203 & 204 Willaby Bolin of Stoddard Co. sold to William Briant of Stoddard Co. 40 acres for $50, April 12, 1841. NW1/4 of SW1/4 S23 T28N R10E. He signed with his mark. Deed Book C, pg. 255 Joseph Bolin & Margaret A. his wife sold to T.G. Brown for $50, 40 acres, March 30, 1849. NW1/4 of SW1/4 S8 T29N R12E. Both signed with their mark. Deed Book C, pg. 263 Elizabeth Bolin sold to John Snider of Cape Girardeau for $110, 80 acres. N1/2 of NE1/4 S7 T29N R7E. She signed by her mark. Deed Book C, pg. 418 Elizabeth Bowling sold to Zanez Sanders 40 acres on May 31, 1851. SE1/4 of SW1/4 S4 T27 R11 (She is probably the widow of Samuel Bowlin who died 1847.) John Bouland and Sarah J. his wife, sold to William C. Miller 40 acres on Sept. 25, 1856. NW1/4 of SE1/4 S14 T26 R11

Helen & other List Members, >I ASSUME the Wm BOWLING, J.P. who signed for Mr. Boykin of Burke Co GA >wasalso from BURKE Co GA???. He (of Burke Co Ga?) signed 1804 for Mr. Wm >Alexander to visit "Settlement on Tom big Bey". John H. ALEXANDER in 1843 >had a farm near Yorkville (now Ethelsville, Pickens Co AL). I AM NOT AN >ALEXANDER DESCENDANT, just read lots. The TOMBIGBEE RIVER runs >through Lowndes Co MS and into Pickens Co AL... Just in case anyone is >interested. I don't know if this Wm. Bowling was from Burke Co., Ga. also or not, but one could probably assume that. I'm guessing JP means Justice of the Peace. Don't even know if this is the same Wm. Bowling twice but it sounds like it, which would mean Wm. Alexander was probably from Burke Co. too. What really intrigued me was the name Alexander. In "Pontotoc Pioneers, Vol. 7" there was an abstract for I guess a Deed of Gift. Dated March 7, 1840 it was between James Aldridge Sr. of Lawrence Co., Ala. & William Alexander trustee for Mary A.C. Bolen of Lawrence Co., Ala. Mary is the wife of Brantley Bolen & the daughter of James Aldridge. Brantley & Mary A.C. Bolen were married in Lawrence Co., Ala. Their daughter, Margaret Elizabeth Bolen was born in Lawrence Co. & she married Willoughby Bolen who I believe was a grandson or nephew of my Willoughby Bolen. Anyway the deed gift was a negro girl slave named Maria, 10 yrs. old with a value of $500. The slave was not to be moved out of the county without the consent of William Alexander. Upon the death of James Aldridge Sr. the slave would become part of the Aldridge estate. Now who is the William Alexander tied up with this Bolin family. Is he the same one or a relative of the one who scouted the Tom big Bey settlement? The one William Bowlin signed for as a character witness? Interesting isn't it? Bernadine Teague

Hey! I found this very interesting & intriguing book in the library Sunday & thought I would share it with you. PASSPORTS OF SOUTHEASTERN PIONEERS 1770-1823, by Dorothy Williams Potter, 1982. Did you know our forebears had to have passports to pass into the Spanish owned territories or through the Creek Indian Nation on their way to somewhere else? This book is really fascinating & is worthwhile looking into. I've included the Bolins here to give you an idea of what can be found in this book. Hope I'm not violating any laws, but this was so interesting. Bernadine Teague PASSPORTS OF SOUTHEASTERN PIONEERS l770-1823, by Dorothy Williams Potter, 1982. Spanish Passports in the Mississippi Valley pg. 7 John Whitaker Willis, John Ashby, and William Bolland, of Stafford and Fauquier counties, in Virginia, were engaged in the battle of Point Pleasant in 1774. After the engagement (they) visited Kentucky....Being afraid to return to Virginia by land, along the usual route, they hollowed out a pirogue from the body of a large tree and passed down the rivers in it to New Orleans. From this point the party made its way to Pensacola, then in possession of the British. Here they were assisted by the Governor, and conveyed to Charleston, in South Carolina, whence their return to Virginia was easy. Georgia Passports Executive Dept. Fri. 15th Nov. 1809 On recommendation ORDERED That a passport be prepared for John Boling and Azariah Alldred with their families to travel through the Creek Nation of Indians which was presented and signed. pg. 223 Executive Dept. Sat. 27th Feb. 1808 On recommendation Tilman and Dixon and Abram Borland ORDERED that a passport through the Creek Nation be prepared for Anderson Moore which was presented and signed. Wm. Bowling J.P. signed as a character witness for Mr. Soloman Boykin and inhabitant of Burke Co., Ga. to have a passport, Jan. 20, 1803 Wm. Bowling J.P. also signed as a character witness for a passport for Mr. William Alexander to visit the Settlement on Tom big Bey, Sept. 6, 1804.

Hi, I am looking for Christina Elizabeth Bowling born December 25, 1855 to Garrett and Catherine Bowling. She was on Spavinaw Creek in Indian Territory. Christina was married Daniel Perdue until his death in 1880. They had one son, James Scott. Christina later married James M. Johnson and George Black. Christina died in 1928. This is all the info that I have on her. Christina Madros Madros2@aol.com

My Bowling line is from the Itawamba Co. Bolings, Bowlings, etc. My gg grandfather was William Riley Bowling. He enlisted in the Civil War in Itawamba County. That is as far back as I have been able to get. I would appreciate any thing you find out. Terry Casto

Hi, I was VERY interesting in your posting to the list regarding Robert Bolin. Is the the same Robert Bolin that is buried in Marion Co., Ala? He filed for land in St. Clair Co., Ala. & then in Marion Co., Ala. In CEMETERY INSCRIPTIONS OF MARION CO., ALABAMA, VOL. I, by Dorothy Shores Stalcup & William Spann Stalcup, l979, there is in the Zion Baptist Church (Missionary), a Robert Bowlan, Sept. 30, l782-July 8, l85l & a Mary Bowlan July l785-Oct. l9, l848. In the same cemetery there is a Henry N. Bowlan March 3, l825-Dec. 29, l898 (Married to Martha C. Byars Jan. l, l845) & Martha Bowlan Jan. 9, l824-May ll, l898. You also have a possible children a Brantley Bolen. One of his daughters married a Willoughby Bolen who I believe is a nephew or grandson of my Willoughby Bolen. So I'm trying to find all these family ties. My Willoughby Bolen is on the l830 Census for Marion Co., Ala. He later moved to Mo. I just came from a trip to Miss. & spend about 2 hrs. in the Itawamba Co., Miss. courthouse. After I get my information together I hope to post the Bolen info to the list. I'm trying to discover is my Willoughby Bolen of Marion Co., Ala. is connected to the Itawamba Co. Bolens. I believe there may be some connection. It is my understanding that the Marion Co. Courthouse burned in the late l800's so I'm not sure if there are any records left on these early families or not. So I thought I'd try the Bolen family in Franklin Co., Ala. just north & their courthouse also burned. Are there records in Lawrence Co.? Maybe I can check into them the next time I go down there. Anyway researching these families, I would love to hear from also. Bernadine Teague

Richard Bolling, son of William Bolling and Sally Gray, married Lucy Ellen Dorsey in Pike Co., Indiana, 17 February 1875. Lucy Ellen was the daughter of Edward Dorsey and Catherine Hammond. I believe they were my 2nd Great-Grandparents. I am trying to find out what happened to them after 1880, when they appeared in the census for Pike Co. I also need to verify their children.

Hi, I visited your webpage which was very nice but I did not see any list of variations of Bolins etc which was what I was after. I thought it would be a nice addition to my research folder.

Hi, In researching my Bolin line, I have come across many spellings for that surname. My ggggg-grandfathers name was spelled Bowling on his marriage bond in 1808. He owned land in Morgan County, IN and his name was spelled Bourland. The spelling of the surname was finally settled on as Bolin (for my line) in the late 1800's. I believe the different spellings can be credited to the various clerks who spelled the name as they thought it should be spelled. Since most of the persons back then couldn't read or write, they didn't know to correct the clerks. If you want to see a list of all the different spellings that are acceptable for Bowling, please go to the webpage I created for Bolin Resources Online at: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/8056/bolin_resources.html Leslie ----Original Message----- From: Crbourland@aol.com <Crbourland@aol.com> To: BOWLING-L@rootsweb.com <BOWLING-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Tuesday, August 25, 1998 7:33 PM Subject: Bourland >Anyone researching who believes BOURLAND to be an acceptable spelling of >BOWLING, much in the fashion ROB*SON is used for Robinson, Robertson? > >Do you have Bourlands in your line? >

Anyone researching who believes BOURLAND to be an acceptable spelling of BOWLING, much in the fashion ROB*SON is used for Robinson, Robertson? Do you have Bourlands in your line?

I am still searching for ancestors of Robert Bolen b. about 1787 in NC (or VA.) He settled in Laurence County, AL. Was he the son of Thomas? One researcher thinks there are ties to Orange County, NC for this family. Are there any good history books of this area? There may be a Pocohontas connection through the Bollings. Robert's children may have been: Polly (Mary) Bolen b. about 1806, GA m. Andrew Suggs in Laurence Co, AL Mar 10, 1822 Brantley B. Bolen b. about 1807 in SC, m. 1st Emily McNutt, Jan 14, 1830 Laurence Co. AL, m. 2nd Mary Ann Caroline Aldridge Dec. 1, 1836 Elijah C. Bolen b. about 1810 (census record about 1790? so may have not have been a sibling) d. Apr 1, 1856 MS, m. Jane Beacham Nancy Bolen m. Sanford Wesson Dec. 29,1829, Lawrence Co. AL Frances Bolen b. about 1820 in TN, m Joseph Bishop Aug 28, 1839, Lawrence Co, AL, also migrated to MS Robert Bolen, b. about 1824 in AL, m. Jane Clark Aug 6 1846, Itawamba Co, MS His son, John Thomas was murdered in 1877 by a cousin, Thomas B. Bolen. (I am particularly interested in these cousins) William A. Bolen b. 1825 in AL, m. Elizabeth Rayner in Itawamba Co, MS on Jul 9, 1849 Was John Bowlen, b about 1808, SC a member of this family as well? He was living near a family member in MS in 1870. Robert Sr. married a Frances Wren (widow?) in 1840 and there is a Thomas living with them in Lawrence Co, AL in the 1850 census. It seems Frances, age 62 would have been too old to be the mother of Thomas age 8. After the marriage to Frances, Robert changed faiths from Baptist to Methodist and a son (or grandson, stepson?) became a Methodist bishop. Would like to find this minister.

Anyone researching Bailey "Balam" (1796-1842), son of Jarrett? Bailey m. Frances "Fanny" HIGGINBOTHAM in 1816. They lived in Tazewell Co. VA. One of their children was William H., b. 1823. Todd Bolen's book has no further information on this William. Our ancestor was William BOWLING b. ~1822, who m. Cynthia HALL about 1840. They lived in Lee Co. VA until at least 1880. We wonder if this William might be Bailey's son. Does anyone have any info about Bailey's son William, such as marriage, residence, or death info, that would help us settle whether he was the William who m. Cynthia HALL? >From census records we also wonder if our William was a grandson of William (prob. 1740s-1820s) who m. Ann --- (1749-1853). Any suggestions welcome. Anyone descended from William & Cynthia, please contact me if you'd like to meet several on-line cousins. Carol Botteron (that's French Swiss) botteron@ai.mit.edu
