This has causedsome confusion over the years,as people do not listento the lineage,as they should,carefully. RobertBolling descendsfrom JohnBolling andhis wife, Mary Carielived in London. Robertwas born 26Day of December1646, and was baptized in the Parishchtnch of Allhallows. Johruhis fatherhad been the Eldestson of RobertBolling, andother sons of Robert andAnne, his wife are Edward,Thomas, Anne and Beatrix, who marriedlater ThomasCreswell. The will wasproven at Canterburyon the 136ofNovember, 1639. This Robertis buriedat ParishChurch of Allhallows,Tower Street,Barking-by-the- Tower, LondoruEngland. Anne, the wife of Robertand motherto JohrUwas Anne Clarke,daughter of ThomasClarke, also of London. Robert#2 emigatedto America andarrived 2nd of October1660. ln l675,he married JaneRolfe, daughterof ThomasRolfe, and shewas grand-daughterof Pocohantas. POCAIIONTAS and JOHN ROLFE r595-1617 r585-1622 M,4-5-t6r4 It is interesting for our family to know that when we trace our ancestry back to the thirteenth centuryr we have recorded historica-l facts to support our clai-m, i,n the form of letters, wills, deeds arrd history books. Such is true of Pocahontaq since her corurection and concern for the James- town settl-ers in :-607, is recorded j-n letters from Captain John Smith, John Ro1fe, and several of the early governors of the Virginia Colony and later historj-ans. The articles and documents I have found telL the story but I will- give you a rdsum{ of pertinant facts for eachr generation. Truly' Pocahontas was the reason the Jamestown Colony survived. She was the favorite daughter of Powhatan, who rul-ed the tribes of tidewater Virginia. She was intelli- gent, compassionate and apparently able to convince her father and the fndian nation that the new settlers should stay. She was educated and converted to Christianity by the Rev. Whittaker, a Colonist. Her marriage to John RoJ-fe in l-514 was a great al-liance politically, and it was too bad her life was so short, for that period was known as the Peace of Pocahontas. With a retinue of Indian relatives she accompanied her husband and young son to England.in 1616, where she was presented at the Court of King Jarnes I and Queen Anne. She was wel-l- received, entertained and admired, and handled herself with the dignity of a Princess. Her untimely death in England, 1617 at age twenty-two, left her husband, John Rolfe' with the sad deci-sion of leaving young Thomas behind to be raised by his brotherl Henry Rolfe. We can take pride in our 9th great grandfather. Besides John Rolfe's contribution to the tobacco industry and making the first shipment of tobacco from Virginia to England, (King James I remark in l5f7 about the tobacco shipment was "that filthy weed!") he was appointed in L6I? as the first Secretary and Recorder General of the Colony and in 161-9, he was made a member of the Counci]. Because of John Rolfe's "service to the King", I decided to prove our ancestry back to him for my Nationa-l Society of CoJ-onial- Dames of America membership, though severel succeeding Bollings qualified as well, John Rolfe became a successful planter, grrd l-and owrrer. He later remarried, bought additional l-and and thoug[ir. he died tn 7.522, the year of the terrible massacre of the Col-onists by the Ind.ians (Powhatan havi-ng died in 1518, a year after Pocahontas) his will dated l-0 Marcln 162?, states "being sicke in body", he may have died of natura-l causes rather than by by hls wife's people in the Massacre of 22 March 1622. In his will John Rol-fe bequeathed to his "small soru]e fnomas (aUout ?) a four hundred acre tract of land orf the south bank of the James, fifteen miles downstream from Jamestown.

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.

During the lovely Indian summer time, in the autumn of 1608, there was a marriage on the banks of the Pow­ hatan, where the English had laid the corner stone of the great fabric of Anglo-Saxon Empire in the New World. It was celebrated in the second church which the English settlers had erected there. Like their first, which fire had devoured the previous winter, it was a rude structure, whose roof rested upon rough pine columns, fresh from the virgin forest, and whose adornings were little in­ debted to the hand of art. The officiating priest was " good Master Hunter," who had lost all his books by the conflagration. History, poetry, and song, have kept a dutiful silence, respecting that first English marriage in America, because John Laydon and Anne Burrows were common people. The bridegroom was a carpenter, among the first adventurers who ascended the Powhatan, then named James in honor of a bad king; and the bride was waiting-maid to " Mistress Forrest," wife of Thomas Forrest, gentleman.

  • The First Halls in Virginia
    THE FIRST HALLS IN VIRGINIA In 1584, Queen Elizabeth I gave the English adventurer, Sir Walter Raleigh, permission to establish colonies in America. One of the most intriguing was THE LOST COLONY. They were the third group of Englishmen who tried to make a permanent settlement in this country and this group settled on Roanoke Island on the coast of North Carolina. The first few expeditions failed because the settlers did not have enough supplies, but this last group was supposed to have brought enough to be self sufficient until they could raise their own crops. They landed in 1587, but the next supply ship from England was delayed until 1580. Upon its arrival, the only sign found of the original 117 settlers was the word “croatoan” carved on a tree. The Croatans were the Indians who lived in the area. The mystery of the Lost Colony has never been solved. In 1606, the new king, James I, chartered the Virginia Company of London and in May 1607, a new group of colonists established the first permanent English settlement at Jamestown. They came on the ships Susan Constant, Goodspeed and Discovery. During the next winter, many colonists starved and the rest were ready to give up and return to England. During this time, John Smith made his famous trip up river to meet with Powhatan and the Indian princess, Pocahontas is reported to have saved his life. But springtime brought the arrival of a new fleet bringing supplies and new colonists….and by 1612, these settlers were established enough to begin to raise crops for export…namely tobacco.

  • William Thomas Eldridge
    WILLIAM THOMAS ELDRIDGE J HE character and capacity of men are almost uner­ ringly revealed by their achievements. In rare instances untoward circumstances or calamities against which no foresight can provide, and the results of which no extent of endeavor can avoid, may make the highest measure of efficiency of no avail, but though the standard is often hard, illogical and unjust, yet the fact remains that "success is the test of merit." When a boy of twelve, without means and with only a limited education, starts out upon his career in life handi­ capped by self-assumed family burdens and, without the aid of any political or financial influence, assistance or prestige, rises before he reaches the meridian of life to a recognized position of power and success in the business world, he has avouched him­ self as being dowered with inherent natural capacity for great achievements. On September 9, 1862, William Thomas Eldridge was born in Washington County, Texas, and at twelve years of age became self-supporting. Dependent upon his own resources, whether resting 'neath fortune's favors or her frowns, he was always brave, resourceful and self-reliant. Mere energy, unassociated with intelligence, is not a weapon wherewith success is won, but when it is coupled with a vision which reaches far, imagination that fashions future achieve­ ments, and intelligence which enables the possessor to translate visions into realities, his success is assured. W. T. Eldridge, before he attained his majority, moved to Eagle Lake, Texas, a town surrounded by a marvelously rich territory, and identified himself with every enterprise and interest of the community.
