Nancy, All day yesterday the name Jefferson Davis Bolding kept running thru my head. I kept thinking that I had an Uncle Jeff and Aunt Sarah,I have a good story about her) but the connection wouldn't come together-- my grandmother, MaryAnn (Known to her family as Annie)Elizabeth Bolding Rodden had an Uncle Jeff and Aunt Sarah Bolding(Maiden name unknown to me) where she lived after her mother died, who had a son named Kenneth Bolding. My mother was fond of Kenneth who was legally deaf. It was discovered after 1945 that he could hear with hearing aids in both ears. I faintly remembered that he had a sister whose name was Nola(Nola Kitchens?), and his wife's name, I think, was Nora. They moved to Oklahoma City around the end of WWII, we went to visit them several times. I remember Kenneth telling my mother that the hearing aids made the world too noisy. Kenneth was educated at the Oklahoma School for the Deaf and could read lips extremely well. So, if Uncle Jeff was my great-great-uncle, he had to be Annie's Uncle, which made him her father's brother, and if this is true, they were both Wm. Wesley Bolding's sons,(Arthur & Jeff) which could make Wm. Wesley Bolding my g-g-grandfather-does that sound right to you? Annie's father was Arthur Bolding, her mother was Minerva Martin who died when was Annie was 9 and her sister Charlotte was 4, but Arthur was married more than once & family legend has it that Wm. Wesley was married 4 times. Do you know where Wm Wesley was in 1850?
I certainly hope this is right and I have found a link(you) to my Bolding Family. Please keep in touch, I would love to share any & all info on the Bolding's with you.
Thanks for getting back so quickly.
Talk to you later.
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, we certainly did. I am going to set up a different e-mail, will send it as soon as it is set up.
Thanks again.
