I would like everyone to join me in welcoming Carol Hurst aboard as my assistant coordinator. Her family roots are in Rockcastle County, and her husband's are in Jackson County. She and her husband currently live in South Carolina. This is what she has to say about herself : "My husband was born in Jackson County and we have traced his family back to their arrival there in the late 1830s. Though I have never lived there and Herb's family moved him to Ohio when he was three years old, we have spent a quite a bit of time there researching his family. His parents returned to Jackson County when they retired and lived there until their deaths." The Jackson County site will be taken down soon for a complete over haul. Carol and I are brainstorming on new ideas and formats to make it better than before. If anyone can think of anything new and/ or different for the site, we welcome your ideas and suggestions.

Recently some inquiries were made about Elijah Bolling aka "Bad Elijah" in many genealogy designations who was s/o James Bolling 1756/57 VA - 1826KY. The following reports can be researched, and were reported in several books of the Bolling - Bowling writings. The events are also mentioned in the Rev. J. J. Dickey Diary located on many microfiche at nationwide public libraries and in Salt Lake City , and may have been transcribed into files on Rootsweb, and of course persons can purchase the reproduced Diary at email to: jdbpubs@adelphia.net (a descent) In Books such as Dozens of Cousins by the late Col. Wm. G. O'Connor (a descent) and on CD ROM, and other recent books (by Bolling & Bowling descents) most are out of print, where the death of James Bolling was described. James Bolling 1756 VA - 1826 KY md Polly Blevens b.1760VA, living then Hancock County, TN, d/o William Blevens & Mary Jane Bean, living Hancock Co.,TN. (See the notorious Judge Roy Bean of TN.) James had moved from Hillsboro, NC to Hancock County, Tennessee, married there & lived in Hawkins County,Tenn, until the 1806-1807 era when he moved into lands that became Clay County KY in 1806 and became Leslie Co. in 1878. He moved from Tennessee after his daughter Mary born 1779 TN had married in 1804, at Pineville, KY just below Barbourville, KY to the Rev. John Gilbert, a land baron of early 1790 Kentucky. John Gilbert became a Kentucky State Senator in 1833 among his many achievements and he died at young 112 years. John Gilbert took out the wedding license at Richmond, KY to marry Mary Bolling 1779 TN. James Bolling while living in Clay Co., KY in year 1826 fell down a deep well called “McHone's Hole" and accidentally drowned, leaving Polly a widow until her death in the mid 1830’s.(1833) James died age 70 and “Polly Blevins" 1760VA-1833KY age 73, have (9) nine proven children. > > > > Sometimes research in Rootsweb Archives finds gems of information leading you to a conclusion.
