I've spent 15 plus years trying to determine if Alf Bolin is a part of my Bolin tree. I don't think so, BUT!

I'm at the same delima. But I also lean towards, Not! If memory serves me correctly, there are several George Bolin's in the area. Our Alfsom O. Bolin was in MacDonald County 1854 to 1860. And then possibly Kansas or Arkansas after that. As far as I know, Alf married in Berryville, AR by 1870.
