[Bolling5] Larkin

[Diane Jones]

I think Larkin was just a popular name at the time. There are too many of them for all of them to have a surname connection. Maybe there was some hero at the time by the name of Larkin that made the name popular (like Stokley Donnellson made Stokley such a popular name for boys in the early 1800’s).

I don't know of a Larkin last name...probably was one...but my line had a Larkin Camp connection and one of the Bolling groups has a Larkin Ballard brother to Mary Ballard m. John Bolling.  That wedding was in Orange Co. VA.

I welcome any information on Larkin and his ancestors.  If anyone needs a lookup in Randolph County NC I plan to be there in August and will be happy to do so.  I will look for a Bolling/Bolin file and copy it in case.
The library has records that are not in the state archives but this will be my first trip.  Moses Bell, husband of Nancy Bolin, was born in Indiana.  His great grandparents John and Rachel? Bell migrated from Randolph County and was a property owner by 1817 in Indiana.  Nancy and Moses had three sons, John Arthur, Walter Clarence and Charles Edward.  
How many generations back can you connect your Larkin?  Has anyone found Larkin as a maiden name somewhere?  It seems as thought there should be a connection generations ago.  I don't have a good grasp of DNA and have not had much luck with my dad's test for Bell DNA.
