Solomon Samuel Bolin & Catharine "Catey" Bolin of Wilkes, NC
This is long, but it all ties together... I'm looking for information on the family of Solomon Samuel Bolin b. 1790 of Wilkes, NC.He and his family also lived in Ashe, NC in 1830, but were back in Wilkes in 1840.In 1820 he had four children, in 1830 he had nine children (one of those possibly being a boarder) and in 1840 he had six children in the home.They possibly had eleven children total.His wife's name was Catharine "Catey" b. 1788 and I know with certainty that they had children named Susan b. 1827, Elijah b. 1828 and Aaron b. 1834.In 1846 Susan Bolin married John Dillard b. 1825, son of Thomas Dillard of Ashe, NC and in 1850 Elijah Bolin married Rachel Dillard b. 1833, also the daughter of Thomas Dillard of Ashe, NC and sister of John Dillard.William Dillard b. 1826, son of Thomas and brother of John and Rachel Dillard was the bondsman for Elijah and Rachel's marriage.I believe also that Wm. Bolin b. 1816 and James Bolin b. 1824 were the children of Solomon Samuel and Catharine "Catey" Bolin.Here is where I'm searching: William Dillard mentioned above, of Ashe, NC, married Nancy Bolin, b. 1831.I believe that Nancy Bolin was also a daughter of Soloman Samuel and Catharine "Catey" Bolin.In 1850, Soloman Samuel and Catharine "Catey" Bolin were living in Wilkes with son Elijah, daughter-in-law Rachel and son Aaron in their home.Next door was Susan (Bolin) and John Dillard.Wm. Bolin was living in Ashe, NC three houses away from Thomas Dillard.William Dillard and wife Nancy Bolin Dillard were not far from Thomas and James Bolin was living just beyond them.William Dillard and Nancy Bolin Dillard named their second son Thomas Aaron Dillard.I believe he was named after William's father Thomas and Aaron Bolin, probably Nancy's younger brother.James Bolin and Aaron Bolin also married sisters who were the daughters of Theophaulus Woodie.I'm looking for help in tying Nancy Bolin Dillard into this family.On the 1850 census, there is only one other Bolin family in Wilkes, NC.That was a Sophia Bolin and her children.I believe her husband, who had died by then was named Joseph.I do not believe, however, that this is Nancy Bolin Dillard's mother and father, but cannot positively exclude them.I would be grateful for any help.
