Bowling/Bolling Researchers: I am seeking the parents of Archibald Bolling BAUGH, b. ca 1791 in Virginia (exact location unknown). Archibald B. Baugh married Caroline WASH (became WALSH in Mo) in February 1827 in Powhatan Co. according to VA marriage records. Caroline was recorded as daughter of Lipscomb Wash. The couple had five children between 1828 and 1836 when they departed Amelia Co for Lawrence Co Mo. The children were Benjamin B., Amaliza Middy "Eliza", Mariah Boland "Prissy", Sarah F., and Andrew Jackson. Two more were born in Mo, George Henry and William Edward. Archibald Bolling Baugh lived in Amelia Co before he moved to Mo. Once in Missouri he used Boland or Bolen as spellings for his middle name (a change that I understand is experienced by many of your ancestors) Records have also shown a John Bolling Baugh in conjunction with Archibald in Amelia Co. We are speculating that perhaps Archibald's mother was a Bolling, or a similar close relative (although it could of course just be a favorite next door neighbor). We have no information on brothers or sisters. Bollings and Baughs appear in many of the same counties in that area (Cheserfield, Henrico, Dinwiddie, Nottoway, Amelia and Powhatan to name a few). Other family names that come frequently in to play are Batte, Walthall, Worsham, Eppes, Dupuy, Cary, Eggleston, to name a few. There are Worshams, Battes, Carys, Egglestons in the Lawrence Co area, so we are speculating that he may have followed others from that area of VA to Missouri. He and his family travelled with a Samuel Whipple m. Mariah Wash (Walsh). I have visited as many of the Bolling and Baugh sites on the internet, and see these names crossing over one another with the names above and more but no Baugh/Bolling connection and no mention of my Archibald Bolling Baugh on anyone else's family trees. I have found Archibald Baughs and Archibald Bollings in the right vicinity frequently. I have not, however, had the week or so I think it would take with my slow computer to thoroughly go through the extensive R Bolling Batte Papers on the Library of Virginia Digital Reading Room, which I found referenced on this list last year (and which I highly recommend). I did go through all of the Baughs and Archibald Bolling. I did some cross checking and many of the people mentioned on one card do not have a card of their own. So my Baugh could be mentioned in a Bolling will. Also I remember my now deceased Aunt saying we were related to Pocahontas. Do any of you Bollings have any Baugh connections out there??? Any suggestions? I have information on the descendants of Archibald Bolling Baugh to share. Thank you in advance. Janet (Baugh) Hunter. Alexandria, VA
