The entry is as follows: 1880 Federal Census, Pct 3, Pg 433, ED 113, HH 28 (Pg 25) 1 Jun 1880 William W Phillips 62 VA VA VA farmer Sarah 25 KY KY KY wife keeping house Alex Boling 20 KY VA KY brother in law laborer I am not researching Phillips, but Bowling/Boling. Alex Bowling listed above is believed to be my husband's grandfather. I know nothing of Sarah, after 1880, and also lost track of all of her siblings Cyntha/Cytha, Susan, and Napoleon. I do have further information on Alex (Christopher Alexander) and George Washington Bowling. I would love to hear from anyone of this line who has run across Bowling/Boling descendents.
