Here is the write up that I am working on for BFA. It still needs some
tweaking. It contains the documentation for my James Bolling which connects to
James Wofford and his wife Katerina Haupaugh. It is not clear of some
mistakes. Needs more work. Hazael
The Reverend James Bolding/Bolling of Virginia and Pendleton District. S.C. and
Franklin Co. Alabama.
Born in Virginia 1780-81:
This sketch of what is known about the Rev. James Bolding/Bolling of Virginia
and Pendleton District, South Carolina; McMinn County, Tennessee; and Franklin
County, Alabama is understood from just the small amount of documentation that
can be found about him. Compared to other more famous Bollings, it is,
indeed, a very scanty amount of information all together. Yet a picture of the
man does emerge when you search for information.
While we can make some assumptions as to his ancestry and his place of origin in
Virginia...to begin with it will only be said that in the 1850 census of
Franklin County, Alabama he was yet living and gave Virginia as his
birthplace. His date of birth from the census was about 1780/81 in Virginia.
However, his death was inscribed in a family Bible Record which states that he
died on March 27, 1863 and his age at death was 81 years 4 months and 3
days...giving a calculated date of birth as November 23rd, 1781. Judy McCalpin
of Franklin County, Alabama was the heir of this old family Bible and it is in
possession with copies in the library at Florence, Alabama.
Sometime between James Bolling's birth and the first census where he is
documented, he moves down into Pendleton District South Carolina and marries
into a fairly important and influential family of the area. Gen. Andrew
Pickens of South Carolina had been a General in the American Revolution and had
been a very important leader in the Indian Wars before and after the
Revolution. He helped to make treaties with various Indian groups. During
the Revolution, his nephew [the son of his brother William Pickens] Captain
Robert Pickens serves under him. This Capt. Robert Pickens is the father of
Anne Pickens who becomes of wife of James Bolling. This fact is known from the
Will of Capt. Robert Pickens in Pendleton District S.C. Anne's sister, Dorcas
Pickens, marries a William Paris and it is this association that helps us to
identify James Boling in the 1810 census of Pendleton District South Carolina.
We have not been able to determine for sure if James Bolling's father has also
moved to South Carolina...but family tradition has it that he had and that he
was a John Bolling. Since there are several John Bollings in Pendleton District
in 1790 and also several in Lauren's and Greenville Districts,...it is assumed
that one of them might be his father. Also because this line of Bollings bears
DNA Group 5 with numerous descendants tested, the James Bolling in question
might be the son of John Bolling and Rebecca Rhea of Henry County, Virginia to
Greenville County, South Carolina...but several known facts make that not such a
clear assumption. It had been given in family records that his father was John
Bolling who married Mary Tarpley, but John himself is the only person that has
been documented other than family records. He is in both the 1840 census and
the 1850 census of Franklin County, Alabama. He gives his date of birth as
1760-70. There are various opinions as to whether this John is the father of
James or his brother. If he is his brother, they are both still given as sons
of a John Bolling with a wife named Mary Tarpley.
Methodism:
Sometime after the American Revolution, the family of Captain Robert Pickens
were converted to Methodism from Presbyterianism. It is possible that James
Bolling came to know Anne Pickens somehow at church as in the 1850 census he is
given as Methodist Preacher. But when he is first documented living in
Penfdleton District he is not called Reverend, and is identified by living
adjacent to his brother in law William Paris.
It has been determined by researching the names of the folks given with him in
the census that he probably lived on Brushy Creek of the Saluda River which is
north and east of present day Easley, South Carolina. Here are the names
adjoining him in the 1810 census:

Brushy Creek of Saluda.} See deeds in footnotes.

between 1748 & 1754 in Lunenburg Co. Virginia. His father was David Wimpy born
in Johnston County NC.] footnote #1

What makes James Bollings ancestry so hard to figure out for sure is that some
named in this very short list tie back to Halifax and Lunenburg Counties,
Virginia, and others tie to Maryland and yet others to other possible Bolling
families. And since it is not known how long James had been in South Carolina
at this time, it is hard to tell with whom he might have traveled. It is
pretty clear that he is not very near to the Group 5 DNA John Bolling and
Rebecca Rhea families in Greenville, but he could still be their son James.
Two things stand out when looking at this list...the John & George Oldham
families [read the articles about the disputed wife of Thomas Camp [whether Mary
Tarpley or Mary Oldham] and the names Wiggington - two John Wiggingtons & one
George Wiggington. One John Wiggington is adjacent to James Boling. One Anne
Wiggington married an Archibald Bolling.

According to early historians the first church to stand on the site, a log
structure built about 1785, was called Richmond Church. The church was built on
land belonging to Capt. Robert Pickens, one of the sons of Robert Pike Pickens
who had come to America

from Ireland in the early eighteenth century.
Capt. Robert, it is said, had settled here after the war, having brought his
aging father with him to live at the headwaters of Three and Twenty Creek. The
father, a cousin of general Andrew Pickens of Revolutionary War fame, was the
first person to be buried at Pickens Cemetery
C.T. Martin, an early editor and publisher of The Easley Progress, described the
split between the two churches in his history of Carmel Church written for The
Presbyterian Church in South Carolina. He said, "About the year 1802 the log
church situated on Three and Twenty was torn down and removed to the present
site on 'Indian Creek.' Tradition says that the removal

was caused by a division in the church, several members having withdrawn and
joined the Methodist, a new sect that made their first appearance in the state
in 1785.
"It is stated that a little girl daughter of one of the Pickens families
appeared before the Session of the church for admission. On account of her age,
the Session failed to receive her, which offended the child's mother, causing
the family and others to withdraw from the Presbyterian Church and join the
Methodists."
Dr. A.L. Pickens, in a book called "Skyagunsta" referred to the split at Carmel
in this excerpt from the book: "At old Carmel the Methodists had drawn off a
large part of the congregation, establishing a new church just far enough away
for the shouting and book board thumping not to worry the more staid
Presbyterians. Captain Robert's family was invaded by the schism, and tolerantly
he contributed more land, both churches using the same cemetery for years. He
saw to it that it was one of the best kept anywhere near, and hence a little
company of twenty-odd Revolutionary soldiers, with the captains and majors among
them for good measure, lie here."

to lament their irreparable loss, and an extensive circle of relatives and
friends, who will long appreciate her worth."
During the slavery period of the 1800's many faithful slaves shared a burying
ground with their masters. One such testimonial to the devotion of master to
slave can be found at Pickens Cemetery. In one corner there is a grave marked
simply, "Aunt Jemima."
According to the June, 1933 issue of The National Genealogical Society
Quarterly, the names of the Revolutionary War soldiers who are buried at Pickens
Chapel are:
James Dickson, John Hamilton, Peter McMahan, Alexander Oliver, Benjamin Smith,
Joseph Smith, Charles Wilson, William Wilson, James Watson, Robert Henderson,
Job Smith, Laban Mauldin, Rucker Mauldin, John Arial, Samuel Barr, Edward Boggs,

Please read all of this. You will note several things. Mention of Broad
River, Wofford, Camp & Tarpley....and a connection to Rayburn's Creek in
Laurens where John Bolling who married Rachel Tarrant lived. I am wondering if
that John Bolling [Rachel Tarrant] might not be connected to the wrong family
tree. We know that Group; 5 DNA Rev. John Bolling w. Nancy Shaffer were
strongly connected to the Tarrant family.

1781- "The Sullivan Independent Company of Volunteer Scouts - 1781 was organized
when 96 Dist., S.C. was being terrorized by Tories and Redcoats. After the fall
of Charleston and loss of Lincoln's Army, there were no Americans in arms in the
state except a few, small detached bodies of patriots, mostly old men and young
boys. Men of the regular army had become prisoners of war, or had escaped from
the state. Rapacious plundering, outrages, and murders were the order of the
day. Volunteer bands sprang up like mushrooms, many of whom are not mentioned in
history, but it was these who played a large part in the salvation of the state.
The Sullivan Scouts was organized among relatives, friends, and neighbors, It
was a loose organization of some 100/150 men, with 4 co-captains, each of whom,
in an emergency would call together the men nearest him or whom he could reach,
and go at once into action, while the rest of the company was being assembled by
signals or courier. each of the captins was directly responsible for defending a
certain territory. Sometime the farm bell, the cow-horn, or a woman on horseback
sounded the alarm. The women were placed on alert and used their ingenuity to
warn neighbors of impending trouble, sometimes the call of bird or a smoke
signal was used . The men working th fields or elsewhere, would at once drop
everything, gather their arms, mount a fleet horse and rush to the assembling
place. Many of the Tories were caught and hung. the site is a ford on Reedy
River, to the rear of the Prospect Baptist Church (colored) where baptisms took
place in the river. This place was near an old tan yard and about 2 miles from
the old Lebanon Methodist Church of Today. There is a list of men who were hung
here and some their families are very prominent today. " [Mrs. Sara Sullivan

I have been to the Smith Cemetery and have seen the graves of Job and Nancy
Camp. I could not find the grave of Susannah Waggoner Camp. Also in one of the
Mann Books, I failed to mark which Vol , but pages 132-135 discusses Thomas
Camp. They state he may be buried in Tennessee. Another source states he died in
1823 and is buried outside Winder. Records in Walton are of the older Thomas . I
have not read them, but I believe this Thomas is buried in outside of Winder ,

her son, Job Smith who m. their daughter Nancy Camp.There are deeds where John
Camp, Thomas Camp, Jr. as he was referred to although he was not , Jr.as we know
it and Nancy Camp signed . Susan lived until 1818 at least.
Found in this record from an article published in Walton Co 1924 entitled
"Another Stroll" by C. M. Thompson. which describes a walk through lands on
Marbury Creek which is where the Camps, Whaley and Smiths lived. "Now down this
stream may small streams flow into it every hundred or more yards. We more than
likely now passing thru the Baker land grants and approaching the Marbury
grants. We have crossed state route No.11 and find a stream known by some as the
Still House branch, and about a mile up this stream is buried all alone the body
of Thomas Camp who came to this section in 1803 and took 450 acres of land. His
wife, says a genealogy , was Mary Tarpley . This Thomas Camp was a brother of
Abner Camp and his sister Annie m. John Hill. (John Camp, his father was there
by 1798. )
The article goes on to say "A Half mile from this single grave nearly north is
the grave of John Camp at the Old Jones Cemetery.( When was John who married.
Mary Tarpley body moved to S.C?)
Down the creek and near the crossing of the old way to Bethlehem was James Smith
lands ,all of these are probably descendants of Job Smith or his father.This
brings us down to the T.K. Smith farm Here in time passed lived one Alfred
Whaley who moved to a western state." Alfred(Alford)m. Mary Caroline Smith, dau.

Susan is buried in the yard of her youngest daughter , Mrs. Job Smith in Jackson
, now.Walton-- think Grandsire Tom died in Tennessee. They settled in Jackson
1798 and built a nice large frame house and there being no paint in those days ,
covered it with pitch which looked like black paint I stayed all night in that
house in 1886(then perfectly sound,had been built almost 100 years) with my
cousin Jim Thompson who was baptised with me and another cousin, Archibald
Stroud, at the same time by our circuit preacher, David Garrison. We (three
sisters sons) were born in the same year, 1811. We prayed we might all become
preachers. My cousin , Archie and I became preachers and my cousin James became
a classs leader and official of the Church James' mother , Aunt Drucilla
Thompson, lived and died in that house a short time after I was there in 1886,
at the age of 93 years
