My great grandfather, Jesse Bolling, came to Kentucky in 1810. My grandfather, Elijah Bolling, was born at the Three Forks of Powell River in Lee Co, Virginia in 1798, and when he was 12 years old his father removed to Perry Co, KY. Daniel Duff baptized by great-grandfather at the Blackwater Church, now Hawkins County, Tenn. My great-great grandfather was Major John Bolling. He had 19 sons. I do not know that there were any daughters. One of these sons, William Bolling married Martha Jefferson, sister of Thomas Jefferson, President of the US. Other sons were Jesse, above mentioned, Benjamin the oldest born in 1752 or 3. Jesse was born 1765. Roberta, the wife of US Senator Archibald Dixon. (Roger Cornett, son of the original Wm Cornett built the home where Hamp Coldiron lives, in 1802, he married Zilpha Callahan. This makes the date of the Cornett's coming to Kentucky 1796-1799 probable. Men from Crug's Ferry at the mouth of Sexton were at the raising. Roger Cornett was into slaves and land. He owned the Coleman Survey, patented in 1783 of 5,600 acres.
There are some Bollings in western Kentucky. One went to Congress some years ago,, perhaps 1870 or 1872/ The first Boling who came to America was Colonel Robert Bolling of London, England. I think old Cava Baker made the rhyme on the "Cattle War", I have always heard it that way. Old Julius Bob Baker and William Neal were in St. Clair's defeat. Baker held a Major's commission. They are both buried at Buffalo, Owsley County. Neal requested to be buried beside Baker. John Gilbert and John Amis married sisters of James Bowling. From Eli, John (grandfather of Judge Josiah Comb's wife), Christopher, William, Joseph, Nancy (Sizemore), another sister of these, have descended most of the Bollings in Clay County.
Jesse Boling, my great grandfather married Mary Ennington of Lee Co, VA. He was born in North Carolina at Hillsboro. His father was born in Virginia. David Pennington, her brother was living during the War of the Rebellion. My grandfather, Elijah Bolling stayed with him in Lee County during the late war. Jesse Bolling had 10 children as follows. Hannah married Huff; Mary married Abram Barger, Justice married ???; John married Polly Lewis; Jesse married Lewis for his second wife; William married a daughter of Daniel Duff; Elijah married Roberts; George married Lewis; a daughter married Joseph Spencer; Betsey married Abel Pennington; another married Maggard; another died single. A P Hill and Basil Dake married sisters of John Morgan. His mother was the daughter of John Hunt, the first millionaire in Kentucky. Dr Foster of Kentucky was reared by Mrs. Hunt.
He may have married 1st Hettie Green and 2nd Mary Pennington.
