My own life and my opinions are shared at When I was 69.

REMEMBER: In North America, the month of September 1752 was exceptionally short, skipping 11 days, when the Gregorian Calendar was adapted from the old Julian one, which didn't have leap year days.

Anne Meriwether Stith Bolling, my 8 times great grandmother

This week I'm focused on my George Rogers family tree

 a repost from 2018 (and earlier this year)



Anne Meriwether Stith Bolling, my 8 times great grandmother

1660–1709

Birth 25 JANUARY 1660  Charles City, Charles, Virginia, USA

Death 17 JULY 1709  Kippax, Charles City, VA



She's part of my father's family tree, George Rogers Tree.  I've had other posts about the Bollings of Virginia, Here for her husband, Col. Robert Bolling, and HERE for Mary Agnes Bolling Kennon, her daughter.

The Bermuda Hundred is described HERE 

Anne Meriwether Stith Bolling was the second wife of one of the wealthy influential colonials, Col. Robert Bolling. 


Though Anne had been born in America, her parents were from England, and there's some confusion who her mother Jane Stith actually was, a Mosby, Parsons or Gregory.  Her father was Major John Drury Stith, II.

She was one of 6 children growing up in Virginia.  

She and Col. Robert Bolling had 8-9 children.  Actually his oldest child, (by his first wife Jane Rolfe Bolling) John Fairfax Bolling was the grandson of Pocahontas. (See Here for more information on him.) 

Our relationship is through their daughter, Mary Agnes Bolling Kennon. The Bollings were the great grandparents of Lt. Spencer Clack of Sevierville, TN.
