Diane,

There were several Larkins....really quite a few Larkin Bolin/Bollings.    There 
was Larkin who was in Randolph Co. NC, and there was Larkin son of Joseph [and 
Val]Bolling  who was also in Sullivan Co. for a time period then moved...can't 
remember where in Tenn. and then the Larkin who was in Sullivan Co. Tennessee.  
guess you have to Bolling to test for DNA if you were from a daughter's 
daughter.

I think he is the John of Sullivan Co. Tn.  The census says he was born in 
Tennessee, daughter Susannan was born Tn. abt. 1835, her daughter (illegimate, 
bn
1857 Indiana, died 1882 in English Indiana.  That is all I have.  My dad started 
this research in the 1960s and I took it over, rashly promising I would complete 
it. 

So far not making much progress on his paternal line!

Diane,

Is your Larkin the son of John Boling of Sullivan Co. Tenn?; or the Joe & Val 
Larkin?  PS  If John you match my man 67/67....but I cannot find my original man 
before that.

Arvinia,
 
You have given one of the best definitions of testing I have seen and you are 
right that the Bolling  Group 5 is doing well.  They are fantastic!  I can offer 
no research but follow the posts with interest.  I enjoy the cooperation and 
speculation and wish my Bell research was doing as well.  The DNA 67 match is 
yielding few responses and fewer results.  I am envious and happy to add 
information about Nancy Bolin, gd of Larkin (Tn. 1801).  Kudos to all of you and 
thanks for letting me "listen in."

First of all.  The Bowling Family Association.  It includes many groups where 
their only connection is having the same surname.  They are in different 
haplogroups.  There is no paper trail even.   They are not even non paternal 
events.   Some surname groups will not include you under those circumstances.  
It would be unlikely for the many different unrelated groups of the Bowling 
Family Association to be united in research and finances for the unrelated 
ones.  As Group 5 has found, it is quite a task to find your own line and to 
keep track of it..  I think Group 5 has done very well.  


What the Sizemore Group has established is that the Native American ancestry is 
from the male line and that the female line is European.   They have established 
which lines are related and which lines are not.  As you can realize, there will 
be no paper trail on the Native American ancestry.   They have researched and 
posted all earlier Sizemore records, for this is the line of their maternal 
descent.  Records for lines of maternal descent are very hard to come by in the 
1600 and 1700’s.  


My Reynolds Surname Group(which I can’t join) is from my father’s maternal 
grandfather.  I participate in discussions.  After each one had researched their 
own Kentucky and elsewhere relatives, a Reynolds DNA testing group was 
established.  This was to discover if there was any connection between these 
lines and to establish a connection in the 1700’s.  In the 1600’s and 1700’s, 
the records are so sparse, that is a real waste to research a line that you do 
not belong to.  When a descendant of a particular Reynolds was desired, but 
could not be found, I said that I had a cousin that I would contact out West, 
who was a fit.  I got the cousin in touch with the group, he paid for his own 
testing, and yes, our line is closely connected.  Proof is established

For Bowling Group 5, the DNA testing has really help me in my research.  Testing 
to 67 markers and deep clade testing(on my part) has established that Bowling is 
my maternal line of descent and where the occasion took place in time, 5 greats 
back.  I have paid for several others(they had no interest) to test to either 
eliminate or to connect them.There are 4 of us Bowlings descending from sons of 
John/Jack Bowling(1790  VA), son of Ann(1749 Pittsylvania County, VA)  There are 
2 descendants of Robert Bullington(1747 Pittsylvania County, VA) who have been 
tested and they are a match to us.  One was tested with Sorenson and the other 
with Family Tree.  Those two match each other AND share a paper trail.  They are 
each from a different son of Robert.    The Family Tree tested one is a 65/67 
match to my brother.  This is what I’ve accomplished in the short time that you 
all have known me, while staying at home caring for an invalid husband.  I first 
tried solely the paper trails and there was something strange there.  The DNA 
testing revealed what it was.  You, Group 5, are really on to something, with 
your research of related families and their connectedness.  Deep Clade Testing 
on at least one Group 5 testee would establish the earliest known point of 
origin for this group for when you go to look for your European ancestry.  Has 
anyone had this done?  Mine has been tested as far back as Family Tree can do at 
the present and I’m awaiting the results of the last test at this moment.  What 
Group 5 is doing that is different from Sizemores and Reynolds is that there are 
more Chiefs in this operation.  In other words, there are more capable 
individuals collaborating in the research, instead of just a few.  Group 5 is 
the best run group that I’m associated with.  They work together like ants 
without a commander or leader.

I noticed when I researched George Alves, that he transported another individual 
at the same time as our James Bowling, and there was a little online story about 
the fellow and where he came from in England.  I’m going to look at the others 
in that group of transports and see if there was any connection between them 
like you are doing with the Bowlings on this side of the ocean and the families 
that they traveled with.

Arvina
