[Bolling5] What do you make of these Bouldings in McMinn?

[Hazael Taylor]

Wow, Diane, what good sleuthing!   No Joel, though, huh?  That seems strange.  I 
don't know who Walter is yet,  nor, Jacob Bolling;  but suspect that both are 
from the/a  Blevins/Bolling marriage.   Whether it is Ernie's or not, I don't 
know.  Perhaps there were several of those interfamilial unions.

Way to go!

Hazael,

I found the information about the cemetery on John M. Blevins land – it is now 
called the Shipley cemetery. One of John M. Blevins daughters was married to a 
Shipley so that’s how that name came into being.

The paper you are referring to was dated 21 June 1836 & contains the names of 
subscribers who were to pay for building a plank fence around the John M. 
Blevins cemetery (now known as Shipley). Amongst the names of subscribers were:
Toliver Boling – $1
Walter Boling – $1 (who is he??)
Isaac Boling, Jr. – 50 cents
Jacob B. Boling – 50 cents (also a son of Isaac – Jacob was born 1821)
William D. Blevins – 50 cents (Wm D. Blevins made an affidavit for John Bolin 
Sr’s pension app. and I believe he also wit. some Bolin deeds)

There were lots of other names on the list, but these are the ones we would 
recognize.

Diane,

Something that Doris sent today mentions a fence around the Blevins family 
cemetery.   Perhaps that is the one that Joel contributed to.

Hazael,

No proof that’s who Joel is, just like a lot of stuff we do, we have to try to 
figure out what the situation might be. It’s also possible Joel was a son of 
John Jr.  We don’t know the names of John Jr’s children, so that is certainly a 
possibility.  Joel witnesses several deeds in Feb. 1835 along with William D. 
Blevins – the deeds involve John Jr., John Sr. & Isaac. An indenture from 1838 
with Benj. Beeler putting up $500 to guarantee the appearance of John (Jr.?) who 
is in jail – this must be like bail money Beeler put up. John (Sr?), Tolliver, 
Isaac & Joel all put up land & livestock as collateral, to guarantee that John 
Jr will make his appearance in court or they are obliged to turn these assets 
over to Beeler. I guess if Joel was not in the immediate family, he might not be 
likely to put up valuable collateral like that. That lends some credence to his 
possibly being the son of John Jr.

The only James I know of is Larkin’s son James. Larkin is a son of John Bolin, 
Sr. James Bolin was born in 1827 & went with his father & family to Indiana when 
they moved there before 1850.  James Bolin died in the Civil War at Knoxville, 
TN on 13 Dec. 1863. I have never seen a document in Sullivan County with a James 
mentioned so would like to see it if it exists.

By Bolling Cemetery, are you speaking of Rooty Branch Cemetery where many of the 
Bolins are buried? I don’t know of a Bolling Cemetery. I also don’t recall 
Kathryn saying that Joel helped fence a cemetery. Do you have that somewhere?

Is there a document that proves that?   If so is there a James too...as I am 
pretty sure Kathryn  states that Joel helped to fence the Bolling cemetery in 
Sullivan Co. Tenn.
