I am a descendent of Micajah Pennington through his daughter Mary Pennington 1765NC-1843 who married Rev. Jesse Bolling 1758NC-1841 Breathitt Co., KY. Jesse was the son of Benjamin Bolling of Wise Co., VA. There has been much controversy over whether or not Benjamin was the son of Major John Bolling born c1699 in "Cobbs", Henrico Co., VA. I have been in touch with Mr. Bud Bolling of the Bolling Family Association and he assures me that the committee working on this line can find nothing to substantiate Benjamin's being the son of Major John. He said the committee has stacks of information sent in to them from many sources and none of it is proof. They have worked diligently for a long time on this. As you probably know, Major John Bolling was a descendant of Pocahontas which can be proved. I do not care one way or another. All I would like to know is the truth. Please let me know how you are connected to the above families and I will be glad to exchange information. Maxine Bowling Friedly
