'Y:ie .tppearance of the house, however, has cvolved over the .,,cars to its ' ;~rcsrnCstate. AS originally constructed for William Boi; .,.g, tile house was a two-story Structurc with a side hall plan. Its outside dimensions were 34 oy 22 feet, Uy 1803 it had acquired an 18 by 18 foot one-story wing on che east end. An 1815 insurance policy of the Mutual Assurance ' Society of Richmond shows that by then the house had received a two-story ... 1 a~~dltlonon, its west side, causing the main part of the house to appear 1 zlcios t synime trical. Thc house was extensively remodeled sometime between 1 1845 and 1861 by Mary Uolling and iier husband Richard Skipwith. During I il~eremodeling the stair was removcd from the hall and placed in a new I 3rojrcting tower near the center of the house's north side. X one-story I wing was put on the end, and the east wing was raised to two full storie 1 A conservatory was also added to the end of the east wing. The pitch of !' the roof was lowered and the cornice was changed. In 1947 Bolling Hall was purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Dwight A. Xles who wl found the house in poor repair ixd being used as a barn. The Files -I carefuily renovated the house a;ld replaced the tower with a two-story ?or& with enclosed upper level. They also built a new stair in C hall, removed the conservatory, and put a one-story wing in its place. Despite the many changes that have taken place in the house, it retains.. C) much of its early sash, early'beaded clapboards,"and"sactions of. the original Flemish bond foundation. ~. .,. ,. , 3ie interior trim of Bolling Hall is quite fine but difficult to date. Z ;iie main room in the oldest szrtion of' the house is handsomely outfitted wl with a paneled end wall, consisting of a chimney piece with molded shelf and architrave surround. The chimney piece 1s. flanked by fluted pilasters and raised paneled doors. At the top of the wall is a wall-of-Troy cornice which surrounds the entire room. The room above the main room ' also has a paneled end wall, but it is treated in a more simple fashion. aecause the end walls in the circa 1815 addition are virtually identical in style to those in the earlier section it is open to speculation if aL1 the paneling dates from the same period, or if that in the addition was copied from the trim in the earlier section. In either case, all of the paneling is in the style of the eighteenth century rather than the nineteenth. ! 1 As late as 1879 Bolling Hall had retained its early brick kicchen, brick : smokehouse, and a number of slave cabins. ALL .of tliiser oarly..outbuildings 1 have disappeared, however. On a hill imediately to the southwest of the house is the old walled Bolling graveyard. I ~ !

John Bolling Sr.'s grandson William inherited the 1 land in 1757, and it was he who built,the earliest portion of the present house around the third quarter 6f the eighteenth century. William Bolling i i married his first cousin, Mary Randolph, daughter of Richard Randolph of ! Curles. Two of the children of this union: William Albert (born 1797) 1 anu Nary (born 1809), were born deaf. Congenital deafness has appeared in 8 the Dolling family before, more particularly in the children of William Dolling's uncle Thomas Bolling of Cobbs in Chesterfield County who had his children educated in Edinburgh under the direction of Thomas Briarwood, a noted pioneer educator of the deaf. Since William Bolling was unwilling to send his children abroad, he was pleased to learn in 1812 that John Brianuood, grandson of the famous teacher, announced his intentions of I establishing a school for the deaf in Philadelphia. The school failed to I j develop ,so Boiling, brought, Briayood, to Bolling Hall where briar wood^ taught not only ~olling'sdeaf children but his hearing children es well. 1 Briamood proved to be such agifted teacher that parents of other deaf 1 children requested that their children be allowed to come to Bolling Hall I and learn under him. Bolling was unwilling to turn Bollins Iiall into an institution, but consented to convert the old house it Cobbs, which-he ! i inherited from his mother, into a formal scnool. Cobbs then became the i first school for the educationof the deaf in the United States. ! I Bolling Hall is thus significant for its early associations with the deaf education in this county. It is also the earliest remaining house connected/ with this important early Virginia family since Cobbs was destroyed by fire i in 1829. Bolling Hall further survives as one of the few remaining i colonial plantation houses of the upper James region; one that retains much of its original fabric, as well as its unspoiled rural setting.

PREFACE. I offer to the narrow circle it may interest, as well as I have been able to restore it, the Tree of Pocahontas and Rolf e, as it has grown from them as its root to its seventh season (inclu­ sive) of fruitage. I accompany it with illustrative sketches of some of its notable products, within my reach, in order to relieve the blankness of it, by revealing something of its in­ ward succulence as well as its outward form. I have conden­ sed them as much as in my view consisted with my object, knowing how insignificant the whole matter is amid the great surges of the world it is thrown upon. The notice of Poca­ hontas is exceptionally long for reasons apparent on the face of it, involving, as it does, incidentally, the vindication of Captain Smith against the unfriendly strictures of some mod­ ern critics, and which all lovers of justice will thank me for introducing.

  • Webner 1 the Importance of Cemeteries and Their Connections to a Community a Case Study in Local History for Chesterfield County
    Webner 1 The Importance of Cemeteries and Their Connections to a Community A Case Study in Local History for Chesterfield County, Virginia By Teresa Webner, 2010 In Virginia, recently developed rural areas will probably have within their boundaries several small family cemeteries. This is the case in southeastern Chesterfield County. Cemeteries here are found in the middle of new housing developments built on former estates. Houses built in the nineteenth century were often the victims of fires, leaving cemeteries as the only remaining artifacts of an area’s first settlers. It is here, with these gravestones’ chiseled inscriptions, where we can find not only the names of the buried people, but also names that may correspond with nearby street names, housing developments, or even strip malls. The monikers chosen for streets or other municipal or commercial properties are not chosen at random. The names are chosen to connect the present with the past. Cemeteries are useful in connecting a community to its past. Graveyards are seen as endpoints in life; however, for making connections from present to past, they can serve as starting points. Beginning with tombstone sizes and inscriptions, one can discern who was prominent in a community. By starting with the name on a family cemetery’s grandest stone, one is led on a journey into the past as that inscribed name appears and reappears in connection with other historical events and important people. These farm cemeteries and the historical inquiry they inspire resemble a spirelli, a type Webner 2 of string art, leading us from one historical event to another, showing how connected we all are.

However, I can record those I know and to whom I am most grateful: Robert Hugh White; Sidney D. Smith; Anthony Joseph Smith; Derrell Heath; Thomas W. Smith; James Marshall Richardson; Jane Phillips Nixon; James Cooke; Walter A. Walker (Hightower-Andrews); Susie Colquitt; and Stephen Robert Renouf (Stevens-Powledge information via Ralph Phillip and Joyce Smith). A special and heartfelt appreciation is due Bradford Willis (“OLD WACO”) for his tireless “Find-A-Grave” crusade—Thanks, Brad! But no genealogical work can be error-free due to time and generational distances, thus an old legend may not be verifiable, and conclusions logically drawn from documents may be wrong (such as the “William and Robert Smith” error). But we have greater access to historical information than ever before and, therefore,“old” people/place/time data should be reviewed and corrected as deemed necessary. Otherwise, such errors accepted as fact generate greater errors. And bearing witness to such circumstance, that we descended from “William and Robert Smith” has been thus perpetuated from Robert Hugh White’s pioneering work.
