BURNETT, FELTS,
JONES -
We are looking for the parents and siblings of George Washington "Wash" JONES who was born
5 Apr 1825 in Edgecombe Co., North Carolina. We have hit a dead end. He moved to Carroll Co.,
Virginia by at least 1847 when he married Eliza FELTS (dau. of Joshua FELTS and
Mary "Polly BURNETT). He died in Carroll Co. VA in 1910. "Wash" and Eliza had 12 children:
Ellis (1847-1865); Andrew (b. 1848); Belinda (b. 1850); Julia (b.1853); Ira C. (b. 1855);
Benjamin (twin, b. 1856); Franklin M. (Twin, 1856-1882); Thomas M. (b. 1858); Lafyette (b. 1861);
Stephen Montevielle (186601942); Albert Lee (b. 1869); and Robert E. (1869-1870). All the
children were born in Carroll Co. VA. We appreciate your help in looking for information about
his parents and brothers and sisters.

BOLEN -
I am researching the Bolen family. Daniel C. Bolen (1831-1904) moved to Fayette Co.
Va (now WV) probably just prior to the Civil War and served in the 7th WV Cav. (Union). I have
found William B. Bolen (1827-1862), who appears to be a brother to Daniel, who served and
died with the 29th Va Inf. (Confederate). If my research is correct, they were two of the sons of
Isaac Bolen, and may have been brothers to a David Bolen, whose son David served as
Judge of the County Court in Carroll Co around 1880. Isaac's father appears to have been
Benjamin. Has anyone else done research on this line, or have information that may confirm or
disprove my findings?

JENNINGS, LINDSEY, OGLE -
Am trying to find any information about William Lindsey (arrived in Montgomery/now Carroll
around 1780)and/or his family. This William acquired land on the Big Reed Island Creek that had
originally been settled around 1774 by William and Elizabeth (Ogle) Jennings. We
know that Henry Lindsey lived on this property later but have no firm evidence of his
paternity with William Lindsey, nor do we have any documented information as to anyone
else in William's family. Any info about where this William (who acquired the Jennings
tract) may have come from or who his people were would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
