I have been looking more closely at old messages.
I am not familiar with "Red Bollings," nor had I yet come across John
Bolling in my unsystematic researches, but am connected to the Randolphs
and Blands, and thus to Pocohantos. I have the following Bolling names in
my family tree:
Agnes
Anne
Drury, June 21, 1696 -- September 24, 1726
Edward
Frances
Mary Molly
Robert, b. 1620
Robert, December 26, 1646 -- July 17, 1709
Stith
Thomas
Any connection?
