Thanks Richard,
I got the dates off of LDS -- which have been known to be wrong.Powhatan's middle name is very interesting because many of my relatives have Marshall as a middle name. The Pocahontas connection is through Polly Bolling daughter of John and Sarah Bolling. Research in the past has pointed to Archibald Bolling as the possible father of John, but recently I have found possible parentage by Robert Bolling and Susanna Watson Bolling. John and Sarah had William L., Sally Bolling (married John C. Blanks),Susannah Attaway Bolling (married Richard Whitten), Nancy Bolling (married Reuben Rucker Burford), Polly (Mary)Bolling (married William Gilbert), Thomas H. Bolling(married Rhoda Campbell - my 3rd great grandparents),John D. Bolling (married 4 times went by Capt.), Elizabeth Bolling (married William Burford).Elizabeth and William Burford were the parents of Vincent F. Burford. Frances' illegitimate daughter was fathered by her first cousin. Bollings liked to marry their first cousins. My grandparents were Thomas Herbert Bowling son of Elijah Daniel Bowling, son of Powhatan L. Bolling and Ma-ri Susannah Massie. My grandmother was Ora Marshall Bowling daughter of Andrew Morgan Bowling, son of Powhatan L. Bowling and Ma-ri Susannah Massie. Are you from the Gilbert family? I would love to know what you can recall of the Pocahontas connection, if you are able. We have all heard stories but have not made the final connection. We don't even know the maiden name of Sarah (Sally), John's wife. He appears to have been born around 1769 and died in June 1827.Robert and Susannah have an unidentified son in 1769, that we (my cousins and myself)feel was John. Archibald had a son John R. Bolling living about this time but he married Elizabeth Powell of Nelson County. Thanks again for the information, I awaited any further information you may share.
James
