The Elizabeth Bowling who married Abel Pennington was the daughter of the Rev. Jesse Bowling. This Bowling line is not connected to Pochontas. DNA testing has proved this as well as documentation. Beware of any books or persons saying so. My suggestion is to join the Bowling family association or check out their DNA site. http://www.bolling.net/ This site also has the DNA test results. There are 212 members of the Boling DNA group. This email came from Retired General Bud Bolling, one of the contributing editors to the Bolling family newsletter. Competent genealogy researchers discovered long before DNA was injected into the problem that Benjamin Bolling (1734-1832) was not, repeat, not, a descendant of Major John Bolling (1700-1757). This proof was carried in the "Memoir" by John's son, Robert Bolling (1739-1775), the will of another of John's sons, Edward Bolling, plus a number of other official documents, now in the Library of Congress. This proof was catalogued by the late Chester T. Bolling, who was a confirmed descendant of Benjamin, was born and grew up in Wise County, VA, and spent more than fifty years trying to connect Benjamin to the "Red" Bolling line. He never could do so. On the contrary, he became one of the researchers who could list all of the documents that proved that Benjamin was not related either to Major John Bolling or to any other blood relative of the immigrant Robert Bolling (1646-1709), the fellow who married Jane Rolfe. This evidence is so strong that the DAR will no longer accept Benjamin as a descendant of Pocahontas. When we started working with the DNA company, we found five men who had authenticated their relationship back to the immigrant Robert. Two were "Red" Bollings and three were "White" Bollings. All five had their DNA profile developed, all the way out to twenty-five markers. All five had identically the same profile, which meant that we had Robert Bolling's profile, down to the last number. That means that any male named Bolling who is related to the Robert Bolling who married Jane Rolfe and, then, Anne Stith, will have the same DNA numbers as the immigrant. In the meantime, two things happened. First, Harley Bowling (a descendant of Jesse Bowling (and probably Benjamin) prepared a list of 78 different Bolling/Bowling/ Bolen/Bouldin immigrants whose names were listed in ships' manifests as immigrants. The second thing done was to contact as many Bolling/Bowling male descendants still using the family name as we could. About thirty or forty volunteers contacted us, and they all paid to be tested by the DNA company. As the Bolling web site will show, not one of them has a DNA profile anywhere near that of the 1660 immigrant. Now this story get longer and longer, but the fact remains that Benjamin Bolling is not related to Major John Bolling (1700-1757) or to anyone in the Pocahontas line.

Alpha was my grandmother, Mary Lee Hale's half-sister. Their mother was Susan Reasor, daughter of Daniel Reasor. Theirs was a Confederate family. The Reasors lost a lot via the War. When Daniel Reasor died, he left his real property to his sons...and personal property, including slaves, to his daughters. Susan married well off the first time she married, but Alpha's father died. She then married my g-grandfather James C. Hale..They had very little when they came to Owsley County. Alpha married young (and apparently often) and moved to Jackson County.

As list administrator for the KYJACKSO-L list, it is my policy to NOT hold rollcalls. This list has a large subscriber base and many of you/them are also subbed to other high-volume lists. There are actually those that will unsubscribe from the lists due to the high volume of mail that a rollcall generates, they just can't keep up. Having said that, you're welcome to post information about who you're researching - but please give something more than just a surname. A county/region/area, time frame, first names and other such information will actually allow others to find you more easily. In many instances, if you're actually seeking help, if only a surname is posted with no additional information, others will be less likely to try to find information that will help. As an example, does anyone know how many "Smith"s, "Jones" and "Brown"s there are in KY? Without more specific information, I'd be surprised if many would search for information that you're looking for as they wouldn't have a clue where to start trying to weed out your family information from the large number of individuals with one of these surnames.
