This Jane is more than likely a “Blue” Bowling. No one knows were she came from. It looks like her father may have been a Benjamin Bowling born in 1704 but this is were the brick wall really begins. I will have to check the DNA and see what comes up, they have a fantastic DNA study.
I have been blessed with many lines of Indian Blood, and I do help people with their Native American Genealogy. I remember I used to laugh my tail off when someone claimed to be related from Pocahontas. The Pocahontas ancestry is a true ancestry through the Red Bowling’s, but no-one knows were these “Blue” Bowling’s came from. But one thing is a fact some of them were very well off.
Hi,I just posted on the share geneology part of the forum. My family is from Pike Co and Dubois Co.,Indiana. I live near Greenfield,Indiana. Anyway,I have Bolin links down there in Pike. They are cousins and the Bolin married into the Riley family,but there are tons of them down there. One is double cousin. I don’t know alot about them,but know that my g aunt Mary Ellen Hughes and her husband Kel Riley’s daughter m. a Bolin. She died in childbirth and they raised the little girl,Golden Bolin,as their own,along with their other 12 kids. Some place I have a book from the family renunion that we attended about 5 yrs ago that lists them all. I also have became very close to a couple of my second cousins that my mother and I met while there.
Several Bolen/Bolling families can be found in Clay County KY, follow link from Mildred Sizemore Family Page.

I never heard of Blue Bowlings, but I’ve heard of Blue Fugates, and RD mentioned a Fugate woman marrying a Bowling (in post #42 above). If that is of any relevance.

Hey, I’d like to refresh this thread, if I may.
I have two of these lines, still with variant spelling even among siblings. Both are from the Patrick Co, VA and/or Stokes Co, NC area. GG grandpa was George Frank Bouldin (son of William Bouldin and Joanna Collins). His wife (my GG grandma) was from the James Bowling line of the same area. Richard Haithcock lists this Bowling line and Joanna Collins’ relatives (Elisha was her uncle) as as “Occaneechi-Saponi and other HOH.
There was also a Thomas Bouldin in the same area (Henry CO) who is listed as Indian on one census, FC on another. Have not figured out if there’s a connection to him. I know his family believed they were Cherokee, as their rejected applications are on record (connected to the Quarles/Qualls family).
Seems like this area (Patrick & Henry Co aka Pittsylvania, Stokes, etc.) only gets a brief mention now and then, usually by me. ;~) Are there any other folks on SaponiTown poking around in these places? They are rich with native puzzle pieces. When I think about the Saura village covered by Philpott Dam in that area, and right down the road Occaneechi land covered by the Kerr Dam, it’s quite striking. Especially while driving down Hwy 58 (Philpott Hwy) to get to either of them.
I descend from Bolling Clark married to Winifred Buford .
Maybe you could look at the Wyndham Robertson

Hello, I joined this site because of my personal family ( Christopher Steen b. 1745 near Ft. Christina, Del. moved to Blackfoot Town ( later called Dagsboro). However, I am also helping a friend with her ( I had supposed Cherokee lines) in Ga. Her gandfather was Rueben Malachi Boling. They called him “Monk”. He was b. in Forsyth Co. Ga. in 1908. His parents were Reuben “Tip” Jackson Boling b. 1875 in Cherokee Co., Ga. Tip md. Maggie Tallet Edwards and they are both bd. in Forsyth Co. Henry Clay Boling b. 1839 in Ga. According to the 1880 Cherokee Co., Ga. census, Henry was b. in Ga., his father was b. in NC. and his mother in Ga. Henry Boling md. Emily Rebecca Green. I just started this family yesterday. There is no doubt that they were either part or married into prominent Cherokee families in Forsyth and Cherokee counties. I have not yet encountered Larkin. To be continued….
On anoter note, I fund a ref. to a Nelius Stan captured by Shawnee and being released in Fort Pitt in 1763. Steen is ( according to the family) a Norwegian name pronounced stan. This Nelius claimed to have families who were Meninists ( Mennonites) near Fort Christina Del.
Happy Hunting,
Marijo
