BOLEN Sr. I do know that he was the Founder & 1st Pastor of Beverly Manor Baptist Church in Brands Flat (Augusta Co Va). Founded in the Mid 1800's. Mary POLLARD is believed to be of Indian descent, however, this has not yet been proven. Most of the children lived in the Brands Flats area around Cedar Creek & Christians Creek, Mt. Sidney and in the Staunton area. Some moved to Pennsylvania. ALSO: If anyone has access to the Marriages in Augusta County (Staunton Va), I would like a lookup for the following descendants.
