• Notes

  Parents of Robert Bolling were John Bolling and Mary Cary who resided in Bolling Hall, Bradford, Yorkshire,England. Robert was baptised at All Hallows, Barking Essex. Emigrated to America, arrived on October 2,1660 at age 13. He married Jane Rolfe in 1675. Jane Rolfe was a descendent of Pocahantas and John Rolfe. His wife died the next year in 1676, leaving one child. Robert remarried in 1681 to Jane Anne Stith. They had 7 children. Robert, Edward, Anne, Drury, Thomas, Agnes (1700-1762), Mollie (1702) in Virginia. Descendents of Jane Anne Stith-Bollings were referred to as the "white bollings" and descendents of Jane Rolfe were known as the "red bollings". Robert died at Kippax, Virginia on June 17th, 1709. Robert Bolling, founder of the family in Virginia, was the son of John Bolling, of "All Hallows," Backen Parish, Town St., London. This John Bolling was descended from a younger branch of the Bolling Hall. His son, Robert, b. December 26, 1646, arrived in Virginia, October 2, 1660, when not quite fifteen years old. He lived at Kippox, sometimes called Farmingdale, a large estate below Petersburg on James River. His dwelling house is now in ruins. Robert Bolling grew up, and early attained prominence in the colony and married Jane Rolfe, daughter of Lieut. Thomas Rolfe and Jane Poythress, and granddaughter of John Rolfe and Pocahontas. They had one son, Col. John Bolling, b. 1676, the same year his mother died. He settled, lived and died on his plantation called "Cobbs," on the Appomattox River, below Petersburg, hence his sobriquet "of Cobbs." Col. John Bolling engaged in commerce and soon became very wealthy. He is described as gay and social in his disposition and eminently adapted for society. Judge Windham Robertson, a descendant of the Bollings, in his "Biographical Sketches," relates the following anecdote of him: "Col. Robert Bolling, in England, at a feast given him by a kinswoman, met a Yorkshire lady, who hearing him talk, exclaimed, 'Oh, mine Got, you no hear dat man, an he talk English as well as me.' 'Aye, madam, and a good deal better, or I would not talk at all,' was the Colonel's quick and not over gallant rejoinder." Volume IV Chapter XII Bolling Family.
