Good explanation of the Bolling line:
Thursday, January 18, 2001

· First let me say with absolute conviction that no girl child of Robert Bolling 1646 England-1729 VA and his first wife JANE ROLFE the granddaughter of Pocahontas and John Rolfe, Jr. has ever existed. From their marriage ONE and only ONE child was born named JOHN Bolling b. 27 January 1646 Virginia and he died 20 April 1729 Virginia. This son JOHN and his ONLY wife MARY KENNON had only ONE son and FIVE daughters.
This lineage is known as "The RED Bolling's" i.e. Indian Blood descents.

· Next, ROBERT Bolling 1646-1709 raised his son for three years after the death of JANE Rolfe six months after birth of John. She died of Typhoid, and had been looked after by visits of particular Indians related to Pocahontas, and they looked after baby JOHN with visits until after the third marriage of Robert Bolling in December 1681. Until this marriage happened, Robert raised John with a Nannie in his household. The third marriage for Robert happened with Anne Dade Stith, d/o John Drury Stith.
Their descents are known as "The WHITE Bollings", NO Indian Blood.

· Child and son JOHN 1676 married in 1697 to MARY KENNON 1676-1744VA, and the marriage is recorded. From this ONLY marriage one and only one son was born and he was named JOHN Bolling born 1700VA. There are 5 sisters to this JOHN Bolling, Jr. 1700 who grew up a privileged life in Colonial America. He did have one big vice and that was he John Jr. liked women. He also liked to drink and party, but he followed in his father and grandfather shoes as a Member of The House of Burgess, the ruling political body of Colonial America.
· This John Bolling, Jr. inherited all his Father and Grandfather holdings and property which had become massive with thousand of acres, purchased and given by the Indian Nations to Robert Bolling 1646-1709 and wife Jane Rolfe, the Granddaughter of Pocahontas, and the only living daughter heir of her father Thomas Rolfe b. 1615 in America before any trip to England, but after death of Pocahontas in 1617 at Godsend, England, he Thomas was left to be raised by Uncle Henry Rolfe, the younger brother of John Rolfe, Jr. who lived in London. Henry raised Thomas and the Royal Crown of England then trained Thomas to be a military officer. At the age of 25 Thomas opted for a military career in Colonial America and was sent to Virginia in 1640 as a Lt. in the English Military. Thomas Rolfe had total of three wives, and the older brother of JANE ROLFE b. 1655 VA was THOMAS ROLFE, Jr. b. 1645 VA who had his death will probated in 1720, which mentions three children including a Thomas Rolfe III, Dorothy Rolfe, and a wife's nephew Wm. Roads. Thomas Rolfe 1615 had another son named William Rolfe born 1647 VA and JANE ROLFE born 1655VA. ROBERT BOLLING 1646 England-1709 VA married JANE ROLFE at her age of 19 just before her 20th birthday. She became immediately pregnant with baby JOHN who was born 1676.

1? There are no children by Thomas Rolfe 1615 named "Martha" or "Mary"

Now back to baby JOHN BOLLING b. 1676VA, he was raised by a Nannie in the household of ROBERT for three (3) years before ROBERT remarried in December 1781 to ANNE DADE STITH, d/o John Drury Stith. During this three year period, and a few years thereafter, the Indian Nations have recorded relatives of Pocahontas that continued contact with ROBERT and his son, just as they did during the very short marriage of JANE ROLFE to Robert. JOHN BOLLING was the only heir to Pocahontas in 1676, as her ONLY living Great Grandson of this historical descent status.

OTHER older TWO Grandsons of POCAHONTAS: Thomas Rolfe, Jr. b. 1645VA and William Rolfe b. 1647VA. These two Grandsons were by blood the UNCLES of baby JOHN Bolling b. 1676. They and JANE ROLFE b. 1655 were children of Jane Poythress the second wife of Thomas Rolfe 1615, and the first wife born in North America, as the daughter of his fellow military Lt. Francis Poythress and wife Alice Peyton.

North American School Systems fail to educate anyone about the life of JOHN ROLFE, Jr. and his families except for POCAHONTAS as his wife, and the raising of TOBACCO to be exported to England.

Back to baby JOHN BOLLING b. 1676VA he was raised by a Nannie and a Stepmother Anne D. Stith from 1681 until his marriage in 1697 to MARY KENNON b. 1676-d.1744 at age 68. JOHN & MARY had only one son, and they named him JOHN Bolling, in 1700 VA. He became known as John Bolling, Jr. and later became known as (Major) John Bolling who grew up a privileged life in Virginia, loved women, and drank quite a lot. Yet, he inherited all his Grandfather and Father's land holdings which totaled in the thousands of acres in Virginia. Much of it lands given to Robert Bolling & Jane Rolfe, his grandparents.
This John Bolling, Jr. had two wives, the first being ELIZABETH LEWIS b. 1700-d.1756VA
The second wife was ELIZABETH BLAIR b. 1709 or 1712 VA (never proven the actual birth year) she died 1775 in Chesterfield, VA.

1? JOHN Jr. 1700 has (5) SISTERS, none of whom married a BAKER.
2? JOHN Jr. 1700 has 22 children, none of whom married a BAKER.

· JOHN BOLLING 1676-1709, had a 1 / 2 blood brother named ROBERT Bolling b. 1682 - d. 1749 who married his wife in 1706, MARY ANN COCKE b. 1688 as d/o Richard Cocke & Anne Bowler. This ROBERT became known as (MAJOR) Robert Bolling. His mother was Anne Dade STITH b. 1677VA
· The first child born was MARY (Mollie) Bolling b. 1708 who married (Capt.) WILLIAM STARKE and had two children:
1? Rebecca Starke who married #1 a Mr. Ravenscroft, then married #2 George MacMurdo
2? Elizabeth Starke who married Capt.) Robert Walker

· The second child was Elizabeth Bolling 1709
· The third child was Ann Bolling 1713 md. Mr. John Hall 1709 Scotland birth
· The fourth child Lucy Bolling 1719 md. (Col.) Peter Randolph, the Grandson of Wm. Randolph 1651 England-1711 one of the Co-Founders of College of William & Mary
· The fifth child Jane Bolling 1722 md. Hugh Miller from Scotland birth
· The sixth child MARTHA Bolling 1726 md. Richard Eppes, s/o Mr. Francis Eppes
· The seventh child Susannah Bolling 1728 md. Alexander Bolling 1721VA-1766VA (1st cousins) son of Stith Bolling & Elizabeth Rodgers.
· ROBERT BOLLING 1730, the eighth child, who had TWO wives:
1? IN 1751, Martha Bannaster
2? IN 1758, Mary Marshall TABB, and she gave birth to a son named ROBERT BOLLING in 1759.
· This son Robert had FOUR wives
There are no descents named MARTHA or MARY or MOLLIE who married a BAKER.

AMONG ALL the ROBERT BOLLING 1646 England descents of his blood lines that have a BAKER marriage is that of his GREAT GREAT GRANDSON, JUSTICE (Justus) BOLLING born 1751 who married MARTHA "Patty" BAKER, d/o JAMES BAKER 1774-1843. This MARTHA is the GRANDDAUGHTER of Morris Baker 1750-1812 & Patsy Smith.

James Baker 1774-1843 is son of JAMES BAKER sq. c 1729 PA
· James Baker c 1729 lived in Culpepper & Amelia County, VA before going to Granville County, NC & later to Ashe County, NC (formerly Surry County)
· James BAKER Esq. c 1729PA was the first person to own land in the new formed ASHE COUNTY, NC

The first child of JUSTICE (Justus) BOLLING born 1751 who married MARTHA "Patty" BAKER, was named:
· ANDREW L BOLLING b. 1783 (Reverend) md. Temperence Johnston d/o William Johnston a descent from Scotland.

JARED BOLLING born 3 June 1732-died 1780NC , father of Justice (Justus) was a son of (MAJOR) JOHN BOLLING, Jr. 1700VA, a GREAT GRANDSON of POCAHONTAS and JOHN ROLFE, Jr. JARED BOLLING married first wife, MARTHA (Maxene) MOXLEY, mother of JUSTICE 1751 who md. Martha "Pattie" BAKER

I hope this helps clear up the false data being passed around about certain MARY (MOLLIE) BOLLING marriage to a BAKER. Every Mary or Martha child of ROBERT, JOHN and JOHN, Jr. has been proved beyond a shadow of a doubt to whom they married and there are no BAKER marriages of these descents named herein.

Needham is listed in the 1850 Census as follows:
Needham Coward 32 male Planter 400 Louisiana
Elisa Coward 20 female Louisiana
Samuel Coward 13 male Louisiana
Willis Coward 12 male Louisiana
Libbey Ann Coward 10 female Louisiana
Emilie Coward 8 female Louisiana
Lacritia Coward 6 female Louisiana
Catherine Coward 3 female Louisiana
Jeane Coward 8/12 female Louisiana
With Elisa in the census being just 7 years older than Samuel it is unlikely that this is Elisa Perkins that he married....OR that she is the mother of all of these children. More research needs to be done on this family. per Cowart Ancestors by Rick Cowart on Gencircles.com

Patterson Pulliam who died in Spotsylvania Co. VA in 1758. There is reference to his Administration Bond in Will Book B, page 363 and his Inventory and Appraisement in Will Book B, page 368. No indication about the name of his wife.

Elizabeth 3rd, (daughter of John 2nd, senior, Thomas 1st.) Married Patterson Pulliam. He died prior to April 6th, 1758, as on that date John Holloday and Joseph Hawkins act as Adm. for Patterson Pulliam, deceased. (p. 60).

She married (l) Patterson Pulliam, son of Thomas Pulliam about 1730. They had at least 2 children - Patterson and Joseph.

3. I discovered that there was a Patterson Pulliam who died in Spotsylvania Co., VA in 1758.
