Biography

Origin

The Bollings (formerly of the Bollings of Bolling Hall) were an ancient family in Yorkshire. A Robert Bolling, in the reign of Edward the Fourth, of England, possessed Bolling Hall. This John Bolling, according to Robert Bolling, was a descendant.^[1] Bolling Hall finally passed to Sir Richard Tempest upon his marriage to Rosamond, daughter and heiress of Tristram.^[2]

John is assumed to have been baptized (or born ?) on 1 Jan 1615 at All Hallows, Barkin Parish, Tower Street, London, a son of Robert Bolling and Anne Clarke (Source is Millennium File).^{[citation needed]}

Marriage

On 23 Nov 1640 John Bolling of St. Clement Danes, Westminster, obtained a license to marry a widow, Mary Carie, of the same parish, at the parish church. Mary's maiden name is unknown.

The marriage is assumed to have taken place, as a child named Anne Bolling was baptized at the same church on 5 Sep 1641, as the daughter of John Bolling and his wife Mary. FamilySearch has no further baptisms for this couple in the same register, nor have any baptisms of any further children yet been found elsewhere. (However, the Church of England was entering a period of major upheavals)

His wife, Mary (or Marie) was widowed at the time of their marriage so it's not known if Carrie (Carie, Carey) is her maiden name or the surname of her first husband. Mary or Marie was born circa 1620, probably at London.^[3]. As per her marriage record to John Bolling, she was probably a widow; therefore her maiden name, technically, is unknown.
