Thanks to the list and especially to Darwin <bg> I have found my James Paul BOWLIN in Madison Co., KY! After checking with other Bowling/Bolling researchers, I can now state emphatically that he was the son of Blevins BOLLING & Harriet [?]/Ester HENSLEY! Listed with Blevins [age 52] & Harriet [age 40] in the 1870 census were: Ely, age 18 Frank age 15 James age 12 Marthey age 14 Cassie age 8 Henry L. age 5 I do not know if this is all of their children, however. Blevins has been previously listed as *BEVE* and Harriet as *ESTER* Is Harriet a second wife or is she *Ester* Hensley? Hope someone can shed some light on my Blevins Bolling and any others who connect to this line.... I love this list!! <giggles> This has been a 2 year search & dead ends all the way until now!!! Thanks for anything on this family, Sandi
