BENJAMIN BOLLING (1734-1832)
Benjamin Bolling born June 30, 1734 has proved to be a mystery to the legions of descendants seeking to prove definitively the identity of his parents. One fact that most researchers agree on is that Benjamin on 20 Jun 1753 married Patsy/Pattie Phelps/Felts in Albermarle County, Virginia. Pasty/Pattie was born in 1737 in Albermarle County Virginia and died on 8 Mar 1767 in Rowan County, North Carolina due to complications arising from the birth of daughter, Elizabeth. Benjamin later married Charity Larrimore. Most researchers agree that he was born in Henrico County, Virginia and moved to North Carolina while a young man. From North Carolina, he and his family moved to Wise Co., VA in 1794. He soon became dissatisfied and moved back to North Carolina.
In about 1820, he accompanied his son, Jeremiah, and his family to Wise Co. where he remained until his death on 20 Jan 1832. He is buried in the Ben Bolling Cemetery, Flat Gap, Wise County,Virginia. Later descendants erected a marker near the location of his grave. (The History of the Pound, edited by Rhonda Robertson and Nancy Clark Brown, 1993.)
According to a generic Bolling database provided by Ken Poole through the Baker-Bolin mailing list, the children of Benjamin Bolling and Patsy/Pattie Phelps/Felts were:
· Benjamin Bolling, Jr.
· William Bolling born about 1755 in Henrico County, Virginia
· John Bolling born about 1756 in Henrico County, Virginia
· Jesse Bolling born on 22 May 1758 in Orange County, North Carolina
· David Bolling born about 1764
· Hannah Bolling
· Levi Bolling
· Elizabeth Bolling born on 8 Mar 1767 in Rowan County, North Carolina.
According to Harley Tucker Bolling in his book, The Bolling Family of Eastern Kentucky, Benjamin was the son of Jonathan Bolling II and Elizabeth Blair. He attributed the following children to Benjamin and his two wives:
· Benjamin Bolling b 25 Apr 1754 married Sarah Hancock
· John Bolling b 1755
· Jesse Bolling/Bowling b 22 May 1758 married first Polly Green and second Mary Pennington
· Justice Bolling married Pattie Baker
· William Bolling/Bowling born 1757(?)
· Delaney Bolling born 1764
· Hannah Bolling born 1766 married Solomon Osborne
· Elizabeth Bolling born 1767 married William Short
· Jeremiah Bolling born 7 Feb 1782 married Sarah "Sallie" Ward
Five other people were listed as possible children including: Charity, Bennett, Isaac, Levi, and James.
According to Judge Zelma Wells Price in her work, Of Whom I Came, From Whence I Came, states that Benjamin was the son of Major John Bolling and Elizabeth Blair, was married at least twice and moved from VA to NC in 1760 and later from NC back to VA. The following children were identified as belonging to Benjamin Bolling and Pattie Felts:
· John
· Jesse
· William
· Benjamin married Sallie Hancock
· Hannah Bolling married Solomon Osborne
The following child was identified as a son of Benjamin and Charity Larrimore:· Jeremiah married Sallie Ward
According to e-mails from the BFA, evidence exists which prove that Benjamin was not the son of Major John Bolling but was descended from Edward Bolling. Edward Bolling (1687-1710)was the son of Robert Bolling and Anne Stith. He married a Slaughter girl at a very young age and made his living at sea. A letter from a Col. Byrd mentions that he recently lost two of his "beautiful young men" at sea one of whom was Edward.
Edward's widow took her family to North Carolina including her son Benjamin who married Charlotte Ward and later fathered Benjamin (1734-1832).
As this quick review of the existing literature reveals, very few proven facts are available to positively identify Benjamin, his parents, and descendants. Perhaps a search and compilation of census and court records would help separate facts about this Benjamin Bolling (1734-1832) from others of the same name including his son, Benjamin Bolling, II and provide firm evidence for his parents.
