I think this email I sent five people really ought to be posted here and in the Bolling Genforum. Something really looks to be opening up here. This is an addendum to the previous posting:
We have this guy William's kid named Marion J. Bolding who moved to Hill Co. for a couple of years. That was James P.'s adopted county in Texas as you all know so very, very well by now. Then we have James P.'s daughter Amelia marrying a guy who lives in Frost, Texas where another unidentified Bolding lived (or thereabouts) before the Civil War.
We find particular Bollings in Pontotoc Co., MS changed their names around the same time. I think this Marion guy is related somehow and maybe there was somebody they knew or associated with in common. See Marion went to Hill Co. in 1866 or so. He moved away. Then James P. came in about 1875-1882. I don't know when he actually settled there or if he went there before he actually settled. (Remember he lived in Navarro Co. in 1880.) But...James P.'s brother-in-law Alfred P. Fisher was there by at least 1875. Did Alfred Fisher and Marion Bolding have a common contact? They weren't related by blood but they must have known each other, you suppose?
On this page you will find some of Elizabeth Fisher's family right around the corner or so from her and James P. Bolding: http://www.rootsweb.com/~mspontot/1860_census/663.HTM
The Raymonds and the Trices at the bottom of the page were from Ann Scott Walker, Elizabeth's grandmother. Ann Scott Walker appears on the next page: http://www.rootsweb.com/~mspontot/1860_census/664.HTM
She was living with the Raymonds and the Trices at this time. Just four houses down or so are the James P. Bolding clan.
Then on the next page so very, very near is Sarah Bolding: http://www.rootsweb.com/~mspontot/1860_census/665.HTM
She must have been a widow, married to maybe a brother of James P. and/or William Bolding? Judging by her age, we could surmise maybe there was a brother inbetween the ages of James P. and William. Just maybe.
I have just done a word find on all the names in this census and don't you think it just a wee bit odd that of all the Bollings in the 1850 census, only these families I have mentioned appear to have changed the name to Bolding? Now let's see, of these three main families, two went to Hill Co. at some point and one lived around the corner from the other. Hmmm. Somebody needs to take another hard look at this elder James Bolding and do a serious observation of the spacing of his sons if they can be ascertained by the older censuses. I was ready to give up this James Bolding but now I wonder. Somebody--maybe at least two people--are wrong about this guy.
What think? I'm sending this dear lady a copy of this email. I think she needs to be in on this if she's that closely involved.
