I personally find it interesting that the father of the above Stith Bolling was Maj. John Bolling, the latter who was Great Grandson of John Rolfe and Pocahontas. This John Bolling also brought my ancestor, Richard Dean(e), b. 1698, from London, England, to Henrico Co., VA, in 1714. Richard, still a young teen age boy, was raised by John Bolling, and lived next to him for several years, when the Bollings lived at Bolling Hall, in Henrico/Chesterfield, VA. I have more documents and a detailed map of the above.
