Dan,
I don't have paper on him, but the following may help:
Betty Boultinghouse reported that at Pickett Fort, WVA, used to have (maybe still do) an enactment that had a Joseph Bollinghouse as a scout. Boultinghouse is often spelled Bollinghouse or Bottinghouse in transcriptions by people who don't know the spelling. He was also listed as a member of the militia of Zackquil Morgan in April of 1775. He was listed as a founding member of a Baptist Church in Stewartstown, WVA.
In 1788 in Monongalia Co PA court records he sued for and won 15 shillings, 222 pounds of tobacco, and 25/ costs and the sheriff ordered the lands of ____ attached.
He was in Indiana by 1807.
Joseph and a John Boultinghouse were discharged from service in 1788.
I have read a report on a meeting of a military group that was held in his home in PA; apparently he had a large house and was well known to the military brass if not one of them at the time. I think I saw that on a film at the David Library of the Revolution at Washington Crossing PA. I thought I had written it down but I can't find it.
He lived very near the current border between PA and Virginia: in his day they hadn't surveyed it and he was considered to be in Virginia which is why some of his records are in Virginia. In fact, after the border survey a county courthouse had to be moved out of PA.
These are snippets of info I've gathered; I don't have original documents to back them up.
