Robert Bolling Memoir of a Portion of the Bolling Family in England and Virginia

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. To the courtesy of Judge R., I am indebted for the use of the ms. And the privilege of printing a small number of copies; and by the kindness of gentlemen well informed in the history of our State, I am enabled to add, in the notes, much informa tion which I am satisfied will be acceptable and instructive to all who are interested in such studies. Having been prohibited from using their names in connection with the work, I cannot express my obligations in a more definite manner. To Mr. Thomas Bolling, of Bolling Hall, to Mr. Richard M. Bolling, now of Baltimore, and to Mr. H. Q. Holliday, of of Bolling's Island, I am indebted for the use of the family por traits and coat of arms, (now kept at the last named place,) and the privilege of having them photographed. It is a matter of deep regret, that no portrait of Mr. Robert Bolling, the author of the Memoir, is in existence.
