I need help on the following passages at the end of this e-mail that I took from the page that Peggy C Fuller Keen provided a link to on the Bollings. Some researchers with online trees have Jerret Bolling in here between John II and Benjamin. I'm confused. Can anyone tell me where I can find an accurate linage from John II down? My Great Grandfather was William Alexander "Dogleg" Boling, born in Tazewell Co, VA, who married Celia Cook in Morgan Co, KY in 1856. He is commonly confused with the William A Bowling who married Elizabeth Morgan in the same year in the same county, who was probably a cousin. The issue is further complicated by the fact that they both had a daughter that same year in Morgan Co in December; Armilda Bolen born to William A & Celia at Grassey Creek, and Frances Bolen born to William A and Elizabeth at Red River. My Great Grandfather's parents were Henry and Elender Blankenship Boling, originally of Tazewell Co, who relocated to Morgan Co. My Great Grandfather later married my Great Grandmother Nancy Jane Mullins about 1866, supposedly in Floyd Co, KY, to whom my Grandfather Horatio Seymour Boling was born in 1868 in Wayne Co, WV. Nancy's parents were Benjamin Mullins and Deborah Hall who were married in Tazewell Co. Any cousins on the list or other researchers with information or pictures would be very much appreciated. Thanks, christine "...

I have a Sarah Bowling born 1829 died June 7, 1879 Powel River Wise county and her father Lindsey Bowling born 1803. Sarah married 26 Nov 1850 Tazewell, Va. Amos Lensey Cowden born 12 Mar 1816 Smyth County, Va. Died 8 Dec. 1879. Their daughter, Mary Ann Cowden born 15 May 1864 Tazewell, Va. died 1920 in Wise County. She is buried in the Highland cemetery in Norton Va.was. She married Geo. Washington Beverly and these are my great grandparents. Could these Bowlings be the same family as your Bolling/Boling/etc.?
