[Bolling5] Easleys on the 1800 Greenville Dist. Census

No, Mike, and I think I would have noticed as one of my best friends is Kathy 
Aiken [m. Osborne].   But look at that date....1914.   They might have someone 
who could take a DNA test.

Hazael:

Ever seen the surname Akin/Aiken living around Easley, SC connected to Bolling?
"Lecie Aiken married Henry Eugene Bolling on 23 Nov 1914 in Pickens Co., SC. 
Henry was born 23 Jun 1892. He died 6 Jan 1938 and was buried in Easley 
Cemetery, Pickens Co., SC."

Lecie Aiken md. Henry Bolling is of the line of a Lewis Akins who was born in 
Henrico Co., VA and died in 1791 in Laurens District, SC according to this tree.

Yes, and then later, one of these Easley's moves over to Pendleton Dist. SC - 
around and about at the town Easley named for him and my James Bolling lives 
very very near to that area.  But I think it is not just the same list...yet my 
James Bolling's land deeds mentions land of Martin Hewlett.   The Griffin named 
person might connect to my Pickens who have Griffin connections but I haven't 
traced it out.  And the Greens connect to one of the Bolling/Borlan 
families....Someone of a "B" family married Martha Green I believe it was.   I 
think top of my head that it is the ones who connect to the Rammages.
