A cool morning; again it is much warmer in Yellow Knife than it is in Stirling; a good time to spend a few minutes discussing family history.

When Jane Rolfe grew up she married Colonel Robert Bolling.

We are descended from their son, Major John Bolling. Major Bolling served in the Virginia House of Burgesses from 1710 until his death in 1729.

You may want to google the significance of the House of Burgesses in U. S. history. It is an important chapter.

“We all grow up with the weight of history on us. Our ancestors dwell in the attics of our brains as they do in the spiraling chains of knowledge hidden in every cell of our bodies.” ~Shirley Abbott



Have a great week adding to our family history!

Best of everything,

Aunt Linda
