Bolling Hall Yorkshire to colonial Virginia
The Bolling trunk. Documented from William de Bolling, lord of Bolling Hall Bradford Yorkshire in 1316, down through ten medieval generations to Robert Bolling the saddler of London (1586 to 1639) and Col. Robert Bolling who emigrated to Virginia in 1660 at age 14. Our line is the junior White Bolling branch through Anne Stith (not the Pocahontas-descended Red Bolling line through Jane Rolfe). Brant's sixth-great-grandmother Susannah Bolling (1764 to 1820) is doubly descended because her parents were first cousins.
Origin region: Bradford, West Riding of Yorkshire, England
