Hi Phyllis, I was reading your posting to Ken, and I would like to ask you a few questions. I do and have done some research in Sullivan Co., TN. The John Boling�s in Sullivan Co., are going to make me go bonkers. This is mine. Descendants of John Bolin, Sr. 1 John Bolin, Sr. b: Abt. 1758 in Henry Co., VA d : Abt. 1845 in Sullivan Co., TN . +Elizabeth Bolin b: 1775 d: Bef. 1850 in Sullivan Co., TN .......2 John Boling, Jr. .......2 Isaac Boling .......2 Tolliver Boling b: Abt. 1804 (Age 56)1860 Census d: January 1871 in Sullivan Co., TN ....... +Telitha Boling b: 1818 Age 42 1860 Census d: Aft. 1880 but before 1900 ...........3 Larkin Boling b: October 26, 1833 in Big Creek, Sullivan Co., TN : July 28, 1904 At Home, Big Creek, Sullivan Co., TN ..................+Jane G. Stewart b: April 19, 1841 in Roanoke Co., VA d: June 1, 1909 in Sullivan Co., TN Mine can easily be proven by deeds found in the Sullivan Co., TN Courthouse. I do not know what other people are using for their information and documentation. I feel this is what we all need to know, so we can figure out who belongs to whom. Please help me. One group of Boling are saying that one John was married to Elizabeth Blair and they are buried someplace in VA. Now you are saying John was married to Mary Tarpley, and they are buried in the Bolling Cem. in Sullivan Co., TN. Where is this Cem. does anyone know?? John Jr., Isaac, and Tolliver are the only 3 children I found mentioned by John Sr. in deeds. I think there had to have been more children. I am posting this to you, but also on the Bowling-L list to see what we may all come up with, please let me know. Kathy Bowling McKown SKMcKown@aol.com
