    Notes:

    "Bolling Hall" is located on the James River, about 35 miles west of Richmond. The land was claimed by John Bolling in 1714 and was inherited by grandson, William Bolling. William Bolling built the original Bolling Hall in the late 18th century and the house remained in the Bolling family from 1714 to 1872. Bolling Hall was the original site for one of the first schools in the United States to educate deaf children. Congenital deafness ran in the Bolling family. William Bolling had three siblings who were born deaf. Since there were not any schools for the deaf in the United States at the time, William’s deaf siblings were sent to Scotland to learn under acclaimed teacher, Thomas Braidwood. In 1760, Thomas Braidwood opened 'Braidwoods Academy' in Edinburgh, the first school for the deaf in Britain, which later relocated to Hackney, England. He made early use of a form of sign language, which continues to be used today. William Bolling married Mary Randolph and they had 4 children. One of their children, William Albert Bolling, was born deaf. William hired John Braidwood, grandson of Thomas Braidwood, to come to Bolling Hall and teach all his children. Thus, Bolling Hall became the first place in Virginia where children with congenital deafness were taught. Later, William opened a larger school for the deaf at Cobbs, another Bolling family plantation, which was large enough to accommodate deaf children from other families. The Cobbs school operated from 1812 until 1816. Bolling Hall fell into disrepair in the 1940's but has undergone a rejuvenation in recent years. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, noted for its significance in architecture, education and social history.
