From their marriage ONE and only ONE child was born named JOHN Bolling b. 27 January 1646 Virginia and he died 20 April 1729 Virginia. This son JOHN and his ONLY wife MARY KENNON had only ONE son and FIVE daughters. This lineage is known as "The RED Bolling's" i.e. Indian Blood descents. · Next, ROBERT Bolling 1646-1709 raised his son for three years after the death of JANE Rolfe six months after birth of John. She died of Typhoid, and had been looked after by visits of particular Indians related to Pocahontas, and they looked after baby JOHN with visits until after the third marriage of Robert Bolling in December 1681. Until this marriage happened, Robert raised John with a Nannie in his household. The third marriage for Robert happened with Anne Dade Stith, d/o John Drury Stith. Their descents are known as "The WHITE Bollings", NO Indian Blood. · Child and son JOHN 1676 married in 1697 to MARY KENNON 1676-1744VA, and the marriage is recorded. From this ONLY marriage one and only one son was born and he was named JOHN Bolling born 1700VA. There are 5 sisters to this JOHN Bolling, Jr. 1700 who grew up a privileged life in Colonial America. He did have one big vice and that was he John Jr. liked women. He also liked to drink and party, but he followed in his father and grandfather shoes as a Member of The House of Burgess, the ruling political body of Colonial America. · This John Bolling, Jr. inherited all his Father and Grandfather holdings and property which had become massive with thousand of acres, purchased and given by the Indian Nations to Robert Bolling 1646-1709 and wife Jane Rolfe, the Granddaughter of Pocahontas, and the only living daughter heir of her father Thomas Rolfe b. 1615 in America before any trip to England, but after death of Pocahontas in 1617 at Godsend, England, he Thomas was left to be raised by Uncle Henry Rolfe, the younger brother of John Rolfe, Jr. who lived in London. Henry raised Thomas and the Royal Crown of England then trained Thomas to be a military officer. At the age of 25 Thomas opted for a military career in Colonial America and was sent to Virginia in 1640 as a Lt. in the English Military. Thomas Rolfe had total of three wives, and the older brother of JANE ROLFE b. 1655 VA was THOMAS ROLFE, Jr. b. 1645 VA who had his death will probated in 1720, which mentions three children including a Thomas Rolfe III, Dorothy Rolfe, and a wife's nephew Wm. Roads. Thomas Rolfe 1615 had another son named William Rolfe born 1647 VA and JANE ROLFE born 1655VA. ROBERT BOLLING 1646 England-1709 VA married JANE ROLFE at her age of 19 just before her 20th birthday. She became immediately pregnant with baby JOHN who was born 1676. 1? There are no children by Thomas Rolfe 1615 named "Martha" or "Mary" Now back to baby JOHN BOLLING b. 1676VA, he was raised by a Nannie in the household of ROBERT for three (3) years before ROBERT remarried in December 1781 to ANNE DADE STITH, d/o John Drury Stith. During this three year period, and a few years thereafter, the Indian Nations have recorded relatives of Pocahontas that continued contact with ROBERT and his son, just as they did during the very short marriage of JANE ROLFE to Robert. JOHN BOLLING was the only heir to Pocahontas in 1676, as her ONLY living Great Grandson of this historical descent status. OTHER older TWO Grandsons of POCAHONTAS: Thomas Rolfe, Jr. b. 1645VA and William Rolfe b. 1647VA. These two Grandsons were by blood the UNCLES of baby JOHN Bolling b. 1676. They and JANE ROLFE b. 1655 were children of Jane Poythress the second wife of Thomas Rolfe 1615, and the first wife born in North America, as the daughter of his fellow military Lt. Francis Poythress and wife Alice Peyton. North American School Systems fail to educate anyone about the life of JOHN ROLFE, Jr. and his families except for POCAHONTAS as his wife, and the raising of TOBACCO to be exported to England. Back to baby JOHN BOLLING b. 1676VA he was raised by a Nannie and a Stepmother Anne D. Stith from 1681 until his marriage in 1697 to MARY KENNON b. 1676-d.1744 at age 68. JOHN MARY had only one son, and they named him JOHN Bolling, in 1700 VA. He became known as John Bolling, Jr. and later became known as (Major) John Bolling who grew up a privileged life in Virginia, loved women, and drank quite a lot. Yet, he inherited all his Grandfather and Father's land holdings which totaled in the thousands of acres in Virginia. Much of it lands given to Robert Bolling Jane Rolfe, his grandparents. This John Bolling, Jr. had two wives, the first being ELIZABETH LEWIS b. 1700-d.1756VA The second wife was ELIZABETH BLAIR b. 1709 or 1712 VA (never proven the actual birth year) she died 1775 in Chesterfield, VA.
