One of several Portraits I found of Robert Bolling (1646-1709)
Found this neat book describing the burial location of Robert Bolling (1646-1709). Robert Bolling married a lady by the name of Jane Rolfe. Jane was the grand daughter of John Rolfe & his wife, Pocahontas. Although Jane is not interred here, many of Jane & Robert Bolling's descendants are in this cemetery. Being the curious one that I am, we went in search of this masoleum. Mark's ancestral line interconnects with this line although not directly. We wanted to see if the cemetery & masoleum were still as pictured in the book I had found. The images you see below were taken in June 2006.
These images are from Blanford Cemetery, Petersburg, Virginia. Remember that clicking on the image will open a larger version in a new window. Using your browsers back button will return you to Genealogy Frame Of Mind.
All of the burials shown below are in the masoleum of Robert Bolling. If the images appear to be off center or off kilter, please keep in mind the photo's were taken thru the bars on the front of the masoleum. There were many other Bolling graves in the surrounding area's as well. If you are a Bolling descendant, I'd love to hear from you.
