I am new to the list - not sure of the protocol here. Let me know if I don't use the correct format. I am seeking information about my great, great, great grandfather, Harrison BOLING. Harrison married Martha or Matilda prior to 1833. He is found in the 1840 Blount County TN Census - he is listed as being between 30-40 - his wife is the same age. There are 5 children 3 males and 2 females - all under 15 years of age. Harrison died in Blount Co, circa 1842. I understand he and his family attended the Ellejoy Baptist Church. The administrators of his estate were: Andrew Peery, Thomas R. McKenry, William McTee (?), and James Thompson. Harrison obtained land in Blount Co in 1835 - the land was deeded over to him by William Gamble and William Wilson in lieu of a debt they owed to Andrew Peery. Mr. Peery gave Harrison an additional 11 months to pay the debt. I have identified two of his children: Mary Jane, b. circa 1833. She married Gordon Cloyd Conley in 1854 in VA Andhers (or Andrew) P., b. circa 1835. He married Barbary Wynn in 1860 in VA. I need to know Harrison's parents - Martha's maiden name and her parents - names of the other children. Sorry for the length of this message - but didn't want to leave anything out - sometimes a little clue helps identify someone. Any clues would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Sheila
