My maternal grandmother was Mary Bentley,  born in TN died in Laurel County, KY.  Her father was Francis "Frank" Bentley, born in TN died in Laurel County, KY.  He was the grandson of William Bentley 1789 GA and Barbary Zellner.  That William Bentley(married Barbary Zellner) is thought by the Bentleys to be the grandson of the "William Bentley with a will", who died in GA around 1790.  He had migrated to Georgia from North Carolina.  And before that..........I haven't gotten that far yet.  I'll have to see what the Bentley researchers say.

Who has the Bentley lineage.  I am curious if there is any possible link to Bentley's in Colonial Virginia in the late 1600s.

  I just last week checked the Quaker records in Hinshaw regarding some of
  these Clarks. Be sure you do for some bad info on the net. Check the
  following related names. Moorman, Terell, Hadley and or Hailey, Crawford,
  Bailey. Mostly Quakers, some intermarriage. On Clark's Creek in old Anson
  Co., NC now Montgomery Co., NC. Lynche family connected some of their
  descendants into same area.

  Regarding the name Drury Boling (spellings) he and a Sterling Bolden,
  both used the name Bolden, lived in NC and removed to SC where I think
  they used the name Bolden on the census. Only once were they listed as
  Bollings in NC. Usually the name was Bouldin (spellings).

  Mark Bolling, the name was from the Mark family, not the name Markus so
  far as I known. From Surry Co.

  Also the date 1796 birth year for a Mark Bolling may in fact be a son of
  an earlier son of Benjamin Bolling and his wife Sarah or a brother John
  or even a grandchild of either.

  This is why it's confused. A John Bolling who lived adjacent to Benjamin
  Bolling and Sarah "must" be the brother of Benjamin Bolling m. Sarah and
  would then have had children (group 6) and perhaps a son John born about
  the time Benjamin II was born.

  Be sure this is confused as I have looked at dates and names for these
  two men which is crossed up. For example Benjamin m Sarah did not have
  two children named John but dates of 1773 or 4 and 1785 have been found
  for John. That's a big range. Nor are all the children known. Charles
  Steed married a daughter of Ben m Sarah. Ben and Charles ran the Poor
  House till Ben died in 1832 in "Randolph Co., NC". Sarah died about the
  same time also in "Randolph Co., NC".

  It would be easier to sort these people if someone threw a wammy on the
  Bollings, (spellings) all of them  and get their DNA checked. Any witches
  out there? Ken

  This William Bentley may have been the son of my William Bentley and Barbara Zellner.  I descend through William and Barbara's daughter, Mary.  They move north from Georgia,  first to Grainger County, TN, then to Hawkins County, TN.  William evidently dies in Hawkins County, TN before 1860.

  On 1850 census it is just Martha Wren Bentley Bolding and James Bolding. Look right below that listing and you will see J. T. Wren as the next family. She was executor of William Bentley's estate and then married James Bolding, A minister and called General on the census. They had no children together, but she had three by William Bentley, they are James L., Nancy, and Franklin Evan Bentley. I have copies of the orphan court records. Contact me at sonja1938244 at aol.com. Franklin was made a ward of Moses Bonner. Also look on the Bentley family site done by A. Bentley.

              Arvina,

              My family has a widow Mary Wren Bentley as a wife to my James Bolding [Rev.] who was first married to Anne Pickens daughter of Captain Robert Pickens.  They are seen in 1850 census in Franklin Co. Ala. census...but their next door neighbors....[somehow kin] Lucy Bolding & her children did move north.  Lucy's children have male group 5 DNA so we don't know what happened to their father.

                Yes, Arvina - we have the "legend" of Native American Ancestry, but no proof.  I am pretty sure that many in both my family and my husband's drew back up into the hills and adopted "English" names.  My mother-in-law once told me about a young couple who fell in love - "she wasn't captured and he wasn't a chief - they just fell in love".  When I mentioned this after her death - the family jumped down my throat - they will deny it to this day, but I know what she said.  I also know that her grandmother was an Allen who was born in Running Water district of Marion County TN.  I also know that there were Allens listed as intruders in Indian Territory.  
                Our Boling DNA appears to be European, so chances are we don't have male Native American Heritage in this particular branch of the family tree. 

                Not even sure how my Harrison came to be a Boling - his DNA doesn't match beyond the 12 markers.  Oh well, however that became the name - after 200 years, I think we'll keep it!  LOL!

                Sheila,

                You posted an inquiry on 3/16/2010 asking, "Could John have been Native American?"  I tried to reply, but my e-mail bounced.  I had some technical issues to deal with at the time, but they may be resolved now.  In my mother's family, I found a similar situation.  In the census, there was the mother and child in the household, but no apparent father, starting in 1850.  Earlier, they had lived in a southern state.  They started moving north at the time of the "Indian Removal", eventually living in Clay County, KY.  That child in the household was Francis "Frank" Bentley.  His daughter was Mary Bentley Root, my grandmother.  My mother and aunt, shortly before their death (since 2000), admitted reluctantly, that their mother, Mary Bentley Root was 1/4 Cherokee.  I asked where it came from, her mother or father.  They said that they  did not know.  I asked, "If you were guessing, which side do you guess?"  Finally my mother said that if she were guessing, she might g
  uess the Bentley side.  The other side were Beckners and all accounted for.  Now, that still does not prove the Indian heritage.  The Bentley side has posted the family details from the southern state for the entire family, their spouses, and so on.  This daughter, Mary Bentley is simply listed as being born.  She lives with parents and they move north.  

                Arvina

    Ernie, The only thing that I can tell  you about Joseph Dawson is that he was born abt 1728, the son of John Dawson (born 22 Jun 1683, Isle of Wight Virginia) and Rebecca Martin (no info on Rebecca).  Joseph Dawson married Judith Dudley 20 Nov 1753, St. James Parish, Goochland, Virginia.  Judith Dudley is the daughter of George Dudley and Judith Armistead.  The George Dudley family (direct line) has been researched back to 15th century England.  Judith Dudley was born about 1732 in Amherst County, Virginia.  I do not have the names of her brothers and sister in my data base.  Yvonne

    Yvonne --
    I'm assuming this is your Cornelius.  Cornelius Sale is found later in Amherst County, Virginia.  He married in Amherst County, 20 October 1768, Jane Dawson, daughter of Joseph Dawson, formerly of Essex County, Virginia but Joseph lived in Amherst County at that time.  Jane Dawson and Cornelius Sale later moved to Wilkes County, Georgia.

    Now, can you tell me anything about Joseph Dawson? I just don't find him in Essex County.... my error??  Hazael has a close connection to the Dawsons in Halifax; perhaps not a direct connection, however.  You'll notice that as you follow this family back in time, they connect to Joseph Collins -- and to the Wisdoms -- the same folks who connect to Group 7 Bollings!

    Deed dated July 2, 1764, from Jacob Wright and wife, Elizabeth, of Amherst County to William Harris of Albemarle County, for ??70 15 shillings, conveying 590 acres on North side and adjoining Rockfish, being part of 990 acres belonging to Jacob Writh. Witnesses were James Nevil, Matthew Tucker and JOSEPH DAWSON.  Jacob Wright signed by his mark. Elizabeth Wright signed by her mark. Deed Book A, page 227, Amherst County, Virginia. 

    Did Joseph Dawson marry Judith Dudley?  Henry Gatewood married Dorothy Dudley, d/o Richard Dudley & Elizabeth Saxe --- of Essex County, VA. Of course, those of us who are interested in Blevins -- there is a Gatewood Blevins!  

    14. Richard Gatewood, born Abt. 1732 in King and Queen County, Virginia; died Abt. 1794 in Elbert County, Georgia. He was the son of 28. Henry Gatewood and 29. Dorothy Dudley. He married 15. Elizabeth Foster Abt. 1760 in Amherst County, Virginia. 15. Elizabeth Foster, born Abt. 1744 in Amherst County, Virginia; died 1807 in Elbert County, Georgia. She was the daughter of Edmund Foster and Tabitha Collins, d/o Joseph Collins and Susanna Lewis.

On November 6, 1750 he was promoted to Captain of Foot Soldiers. 

    Joseph Collin's Will: In the name of God Amen, I Joseph Collins of the county of Spotsylvania being sick and weak, but of sound and perfect mind and memory and calling to mind the uncertainty of this transitory life do make this my last will and Testament in manner and form following, first I commend my soul to Almighty God and my body to the earth to be decently buried, and as to what worldly estate it hat please God to bless me with I give and bequeath in the following manner:

  Yvonne --  You are a wealth of information! 

  Goochland Marriages:
  20 November 1753.  Joseph Dawson and Judith Dudley.  Sur. James George. 
  Wit. David  Murray. p 6

  Dudley's at this website: 
  _http://members.cox.net/wdegidio/ware/robertdudley.htm_ (http://members.cox.net/wdegidio/ware/robertdudley.htm) 

  The Georges mentioned above connect to Doris' lines  and the following 
  research is from Marty Grant: 

  _James George _ 
  (http://www.martygrant.com/gen/george/george-james-pittsylvania.htm) was born ca 1734 in Caroline Co, VA. He  was named in the Will of 
  his father John George (1784). Letters were found from  him to his brother 
  Reuben of Caroline Co, VA and he was mentioned in a letter of  his sister 
  Mary to their father John George. He moved to Pittsylvania Co, VA ca 1767.   
  James George married Elizabeth Noden ca 1759 in Caroline Co, VA.d/o Hugh Noden 
  (c1690s-1751) and Elizabeth, before 1759 in Caroline Co, VA.  Elizabeth was 
  born in 1738/1739 in Caroline Co, VA. She died in 1801/1802 in  
  Pittsylvania Co, VA.
  -------------------------------------------
  JOHN GEORGE 
  On 9 May 1734, John George was listed in Caroline Co, VA Court when  
  William and Mary Dillen acknowledge a deed to John  George. (Caroline Co, VA Order 
  Book 1732-1740  pg 140). [might be the ancestor of Dillon Asher???] 

  On 21 Feb 1735 John George "of Essex" sold 373 acres of land in Essex Co, 
  VA  to Francis Smith. This is probably when John moved to Caroline Co, VA. 
  (Essex Co, VA Deed book 20page 156).  
  On 13 Jun 1735 Robert George acknowledged his deed of land to John George.  
  This probably is the land John lived on. (Caroline  Co, VA Order Book 
  1732-1740 pg 297).  
  John George's name appears in the Caroline Co, VA Order books many times 
  over  the next several decades, often on Juries, and as witnesses to deeds or 
  wills.  Quite often his name was on the same records with his brothers 
  Robert George and  Richard George, his brother-in-law Robert Williamson, and his 
  nephew Robert  Mickleborough. John Dudley often appears on the same records 
  as  well. He may be the father of Ursula Dudley, John George's 2nd  wife.

  Mary Jordan George, the first wife of John George died sometime, no exact  
  date is know. It is thought prior to ca 1758. Around that time John  George 
  married Ursula Dudley. Ursula was born 20 Sep 1720 [per  John Brown family 
  Bible.] 
  According to W. O. George (1811-1869), Ursula Dudley was a daughter  of 
  John Dudley and Ursula Beverly as proven by the estate  records of John Dudley 
  (probably now lost due to the destruction of  many Caroline County records.) 
  John George made his Will on 7 Feb 1784. This Will was  thought destroyed 
  with many of the other Caroline records. For years the only  the only 
  reference to this Will was the summary made by W. O. George around  1860. However I 
  recently found a complete copy of the Will in the  Fredericksburg District 
  Court records. In the Will he names his son  Reuben George; son John George; 
  son James George; daughter  Ann Woolfolk and he mentions Robert Woolfolk 
  (her husband, though  that relationship is not stated); daughter Elizabeth 
  Baber; grandchildren  Mary Isbell, Daniel Isbell, Nancy Isbell, John G. Graves, 
  Benjamin Graves  and Frances Graves. He also mentions their mother, though 
  doesn?t give  her name, and mentions Beverly Graves (who is his son-in-law, 
  though that  relationship was not stated in the Will); daughter Sarah 
  George;  daughter Mary Mackhaney (McHaney); and daughter Catey Brown (Catherine 
  Brown). Son Reuben George is made sole executor. Witnesses were  James 
  Yarbrough, Gilly Yarbrough, and William Brown. He signed the Will as ?John  George 
  Senr? and the Will was proven in Caroline County Court in May  1784.
