Doris & all,

We do know that Elizabeth (maiden name unknown) was the wife of John Bolin of 
Sullivan County. She is mentioned in at least 2 deeds – one in 1835 and one in 
1838. John Bolin Jr is also often in the deed records and he is not the same guy 
as your John Tarpley so we do know for sure that John of Sullivan is not John 
T’s father. John Jr was still in Sullivan county in 1840 census. There is never 
a James associated with John of Sullivan either, and John of Sullivan was never 
in South Carolina where your guys were. He went directly from Henry Co., VA to 
Montgomery Co., VA to Sullivan, TN and likely arrived in Sullivan county 
sometime before 1800. I believe John Jr died sometime between 1840-1850. None of 
us have figured out exactly how we relate to John of Sullivan yet, but we know 
we do! I think it is possible John of Sullivan is the son of the older John 
Bolling in Henry County tax lists who had a son John.

Here is the 1838 deed:
Sullivan, TN Deed Bk 12 pg 136-138

This indenture made this 15th day of January in the year 1838 between John 
Boling Junr of Sullivan County and State of Tennessee of the one part and 
Benjamin A. Boilas of the other part witnesseth that the said John Boling Jur

whereof is hereby acknowledged hath granted bargained and sold and by these 
presents doth grant bargain and sell to the said Benjamin A. Beelar and his 
heirs and assignees forever a certain tract or parcel of land lying and being in 
the county aforesaid being the tract of land on which the said John Boling now

Arvina, I will need to dig back through my binders, but I believe Kathy McKown’s 
book “Just Call Me Cousin” is part of some of the materials she shared with me.  
Then too, I have the impression that she never really completed the book, just 
parts.

This first cousin is of interest to me, in that I would love to share with her 
my exchanges with Kathy.  Also I can share with you and her the data which I 
have collected from what Kathy knew of her Bolling/Bolin families.

Once we can learn just who John’s wife or wives are we will have made great 
progress in this long time search for mine and Hazael’s families.  One of our 
sources claims this John Bolin of Sullivan Co. TN to be our ancestor, father to 
my John Tarpley Bolling/Bolding and Hazael’s James Marion Bolling/Bolding.

Where the Camps connect is the mother to Mary Tarpley is Mary Camp, whose 
husband is Thomas Tarpley.
Let me hear further should you or this first cousin to Kathy are interested.
Doris

This is a cut and paste from an email I just received from Kathy McKown’s first 
cousin.  She is a Family Finder Test match.  She and I share over a dozen 
surnames.

Where can I find Kathy McKown's research? I have tried unsuccessfully to locate 
her book "Just Call me Cousin" about the Bollings in Sullivan County TN. I have 
a few notes from several years ago that I found on Ancestry.com, however they 
have now been deleted from there. Kathy and I are first cousins but I never was 
able to meet her. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me. Billie Owen

If you can direct me where to locate the book for her, I would appreciate it.  
Have you all read or heard of it?

Thanks,
Arvina

S. Kathryn McKown was a nurse who died several years ago.  Fortunately, she left 
us her findings on the web.

Well, I’ve emailed her.  What I’ve run across when I try to contact my matches 
is disinterest and suspicions(how did you get my email address?  and what do you 
want?)  Some never answer because they are suspicious and/or lazy.  Some know 
their family back to 1900, almost.  Lots do not know the name of their 
grandparents or where they were born.  It is disheartening.
