Ladies:

I really admire your persistance.  Remember I am always looking for  
interesting stories for the BFA newsletter.

I am a descendant of Joseph Glover of Charleston, SC in the late  1600s.  
Do you have any info on the Tenn. Glover?

Hazael,

I think Callaway is another son of John  Bolin?s, but I don?t know for 
sure. Callaway was born in 1808 in Tennessee and  married Susan Carrier, dau. of 
Jonathan Carrier and Abigail Glover. There is a  Glover connection to some 
of the Sullivan County Bolins. Callaway and Susan  had a bunch of children. 
The last I find of Callaway is in the 1850 & 1860  census records in 
Sullivan County. His widow Susan is head of household in  1870:

1870 Sullivan Co., TN:
p. 11 [398]; 26 Jul 1870

HH  71/71 
BOLING, Susan 54 hsekpr 200 694 TN

____ Jane 19  TN
____ Hugh 18 farm laborer TN
____ Andrew 15 TN
COMBES William 9  TN

____ Mary E. 9?12 TN

The above census was from  the Combs site.
------
Hazael, I have never seen a James Bolin in the  records of Sullivan County. 
If you happen to have a citation of such, please  share it when you get 
home!

I have this index citation for Callaway,  but not the actual document, so I 
don?t know if there are other names in the  deed for witnesses or whatever, 
but it seems awfully late to have anything to  do with your James:

I wonder where Calloway Bolin fits into these  folks.   He is just the next 
page in the census...1840 I  think....and it is his deed that a james 
Bowlin signed I am thinking top of my  head this morning.

Hazael,

Yes, Larkin who was born ca 1800  and his wife Sarah and their children 
left Sullivan County after the 1840  census and went first to Floyd Co., IN., 
then Washington Co., IN, then back to  Floyd. Here are his census records:

1830  Sullivan Co., TN census:
Larkin Bolin
1 male under 5
1 male 15  to 20
1 male 30 to 40
1 female under 5
1 female 5 to  10
1 female 10 to 15
1 female 15 to 20
1 female 20 to  30
Isaac Bolin is next door.
------------------------------
1840 Sullivan Co., TN census:
Larkin  Bolin
1 male 10 - 15
1 male 20 - 30
1 male 30 - 40
1 female under 5
3 females  5 to 10
1 female 10 to 15
1 female 30 to 40
Tolliver Bolin  lives nearby (6 doors away) & thus John Bolin Sr since he 
lived with  Tolliver. 
-----------------------------
1850 Floyd Co.,  IN, Greenville twp:
Household 125
Larkin Bolin, 49, M, Farmer, b. TN, Can't read &  write.
Sarah Bolin, 51, F, b. VA, can't read  & write
James Bolin, 23, M, Farmer, b.  TN
Elizabeth Bolin, 21, F, b. TN
Susan Bolin, 15, F, b. TN
-----------------------------
1860 Washington  Co., IN, Jackson twp, Martinsburg
Household  193
Larkin Bowlin, 60, M, Farmer, $300 real  estate, $200 pp, b. TN
Sarah Bowlin, 63, F, b.  VA
Susanah Bowlin, 24, F, Spinster, b.  TN
Nancy Bowlin, 2, F, b. IN
-------------------------------
1870 Floyd Co., IN, Greenville twp, P.O. Greenville
Household 261
Larkin Bolin, 69, M, W,  Farmer, $390 Real estate, $800 pp, b. TN, can't 
read & write
Susan Bolin, 33, F, W, Keeping house, b. TN, can't read  & write
Nancy Bolin, 13, F, W, b.  IN
----------

The child Nancy is Diane2?s ancestor. There were Group 6 Bolings as  well 
as Group 5 Bolins in Washington Co., IN. Remember that James Luke Bowling   
who married Sarah Nowling from Patrick, VA also were in Washington County.  
>From census records, it would seem that Larkin lived the majority of the time 
 in Floyd County.

By the way, this Larkin?s  son James died in the Civil War & is buried in 
the Knoxville Tennessee  National Cemetery. James married Mary Ann Critchlow 
and they had a son named  John Larkin Bolin.

It is the yellow underlined statements that have  me confused.  John of 
Sullivan Co. Tenn. the father of Diane2's Larkin is  group 5....but you say 
Washington Co. Indianna.  

Hi Diane2,

Yes, this is the John Bolin of Sullivan Co., TN  that is the father of your 
Larkin. Wasn?t Nancy Bolin, Susan Bolin?s daughter  by an unknown father, 
your ancestor? (Susan being the dau. of  Larkin)

You might have  to check the county court records in hopes that the father 
is named in a suit  for child support. I identified the father of a baby 
born out of wedlock in my  line that way. That case was in Monroe County, 
Indiana. The father of the  unwed mother sued for support for his grandchild, as 
mother & child were  living in his household.

Since Larkin lived in Washington and Floyd counties, IN, you would  
probably have to check both counties.

All,
I found some interesting stuff on Sullivan  County on a Hopkins mail list ? 
several connections to Bolins and also a  Patrick, VA connection. Glovers & 
Hopkins both connect with the Bolins in  Sullivan County. Several Odells 
lived near to Callaway in  1840.:

Subject: [HOPKINS-L] Hopkins/Sullivan Co., Tn.

properties including 25 acres belonging to Richard  Hopkins, Dec'd.. Ack. 21
October 1880, Reg. 22 October 1880 @ 4  pm.

In the periodical "Holston Past Finder" Vol. 50, page 7, I learned  Richard
Hopkins had a land grant (#785) for 200 acres on Holston River,  which was
not recorded at the Register of Deeds Office. I will try to track  down a
copy. Here Richard Hopkins operated "the first blacksmith shop and  grist
mill on Hatcher's Creek. He finnished and dressed his own mill  stone,
leaving one unfinished as the Civil War had started" according to  Hazel W.
Morrell of Bluff City, Tn.

I thought his being a miller was  interesting as his father-in-law, Obediah
Burnett, was a miller in Patrick  County, Virginia.

In the 1837 Tax list for SCTN, Richard Hopkins was  listed with a property
value of $202.00.

1850 Census, Sullivan Co.,  Tenn.

#81 Hopkins, Richard 64 Miller $250 Virginia

Boling,  Hugh 31 Day Laborer Tennessee {Note: is Hugh a grandson of John of 
 Sullivan???-DJ}
" Mary 30 House Keeper "
" Jacob 8 "

Tradition holds that Richard Hopkins died in 1864 at age  84. I could not
find Elizabth Hopkins listed in the 1870 census  either.

-----------------------------------
Makes me wonder if both the  Hugh Boling and Susan Boling who both married 
Hopkins are grandchildren of  John of Sullivan, and possible children of 
Callaway who were married before  the 1850 census.
