Thanks for your addition, Diana!

I'm not much of a genealogist and haven't done anything since the passing of Linda McNeil. Neither of my two sons seems to be interested at this time. Only one married and has three daughters, so the Boling name will be lost in my stem.

Blessings,

You are welcomed Paul.

Here is the original book by Rev. Philip Slaughter.....

Cool!

This profile should be editable?

Benjamin Bolling

Erica Howton I think Diana Collins means she would like to add notes to this one Rev. Benjamin Franklin 'Flat Gap' Bolling.

Thanks Andy.

That’s a controversial profile that caused great pain and personal difficulty for curators. I respect the lock. It’s not being a “know it all” to end personal abuse.

Discussion is the way to present New or additional information, and all are welcome to add their view on how the Geni tree is best shown. In some cases there really is no “right” or “wrong” decision, but we’ve learned better to err on the side of the conservative presentation.

I agree with that approach.

I had addressed this subject in the past....with NO response whatsoever from the curator. Ben Angel responded to me....and so did Andy (Thank you, Andy). I believe there are enough documents to "fix" the tree. If I were a manager of Benjamin's descendants profiles, I would switch my stuff to the Benjamin profie listed above.....period.

Start a discussion from the profile preventing the evidence. I think you will find that The Bolling Family Association has much of the family as “work in progress.”

Part of the point of discussion is to de personalize curating, as we’re all volunteers of varying availability. For Colonial America we have several curators willing to review evidence along with any interested member, and the discussion makes it transparent in a way messages do not.

Oh, by the way, did you notice that someone added a Benjamin to the John Bolling and Elizabeth Blair tree again?

Rev. Benjamin Franklin 'Flat Gap' Bolling

I’m really not very involved with Bollings, and anyone can merge ....

I am more confused than ever, has it been proved that Benjamin Group 3 Benjamin Bolling 1734-1832 Fh 110 is the child of Benjamin born 1710? because I was under the impression that this was just a theory.

​

If this is true ,why has this been such a mystery? it just doesn't make sense, between the story his son ; Jeremiah Bolling (Fh325) in 1853 writes "My father was John Benjamine Bolling, (known as Ben), he was borned in ol Virginy June 30, 1752. His father was Issam (sic) Randaloph whom he never seed (sic). His mother was Polly Bolling who died at his birth. He was reared by his grandmother Betsey Bland. She first married his grandfather John Bolling who had died. Ben Bolling said that his grandmother Bland's husband turned him out when he was 15 and his grandmother gave him enough money to buy a farm in North Carolina on the Yakin River. He lost it to the rebels during the war. He returned to Virginy to see his grandmother but she was dead. He found work at his sister Jane Jeffersons farm helping to build a new house. He earned enough to recover his farm on the Yakin River. My father met my mother Elizabeth Christy Bolling on the Editso River and married her there. She was much younger being borned January 17, 1768. I can remember her father Squire Lariman. I, Jerrimah Bolling Sr., was borne in Southern Carolina on the Editso River Dec 18, 1786 (the six was handwritten while the other was typed in the transcription). and his tombstone that said he was the child of Major John Bolling and Elizabeth Blair.

Edward died 24 years before Benjamin Bolling was born... what is the evidence to support such a claim as he being the father of Benjamin?
