Surnames: Bowling/Bolling, Mattox Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3AC.2ACE/1534 Message Board Post: I am originally from Bedford County and am looking for any Bowling/Bolling relatives in the Pittsylvania County area. Our Bowling family has participated in the DNA study that is being conducted through the Bolling Family Association. We are in Group 6. I am trying to find out if Joseph Bolling married to Rebecca Mattox in Franklin County, VA were my 3rd great grandparents. They lived in the mid to late 1700's. I found them in Bedford County, but believe they lived in Franklin County once it was formed from part of Bedford County. I understand that Pittsylvania County was also a part of that formation. I'm planning a trip to that area March 10-17 and would like to find any potential Bowling/Bolling relatives and share info. My great great grandfather was William Bolling/Bowling (all spellings) married to Julia B. Stiff. They lived in Bedford County. Thank you for any assistance anyone might be able to provide.
