[Bolling5] The Bolling Amoss/Amis connection of Southam Parish Goochland, , Cumberland, Powhatan

Mon Oct 24 08:53:24 EDT 2011

Since no one has commented on what I sent as attachments, I will try to write 
some of it out so you can just read it without opening the attachment...but I 
sent the original pages scanned in from Blomquist's book.

First of all I sent that Southam Parish is first located in Goochland, and then 
when Cumberland is formed it is there, and later when Powhatan is formed it is 
located there.  So later lands if they still lived on the same land they would 
be in Powhatan.

Ernie,

No, I don’t agree that James Bowling’s land was on Bowens Creek. Joseph’s land 
was, but not James’. James most definitely lived over in the Marrowbone area of 
SE Henry county when he died. His land was always adjoining Merry Webb, not 
David Haley. His will said land on Bowling Creek, not Bowens Creek.

The date of Joseph Bowling’s survey on Bowens Creek was 1784. James was already 
dead by this time.

Here is that 1770 tithe list from SE Henry county area shortly before James 
died:

Diane --
It looks like David Haley's wife didn't sign this deed. It looks like they say 
David's land was on Bowings/Bowing Creek.  {Same creek mentioned in James 
Bolling's will [1771/72].  Again, what was the date of Joseph Bolling's land 
sale?  Michael Rowland witnessed this; John Rowland lived next to John/James 
Blevins [can't remember which].
