Thank you John  for reminding everyone that Daniel and I are still out here
with Bolling5  DNA and I guess you would say spinning our wheels and getting
no  Where.  
Just as a reminder My William (born abt 1813; died between  1900 &
1910)married Joanna Collins, daughter of Edward "Ned" and Hannah  Holt
Collins. I have found Joanna's grave but I do not know if William is  buried
there or not.  It is on their family's farm in Southern Patrick  County very
near Turkey Cock Creek which runs out of Stokes County, NC  which is where
Joanna's parents are from and  buried.
