John Bolling

Uncommon card · No. 132320

John Bolling (January 27, 1676 – April 20, 1729) was an American merchant, planter, politician and military officer in the colony of Virginia, who served several terms in the House of Burgesses, all representing Henrico County. The earliest of four related men of the same name to serve in the Virginia General Assembly, he was the great-grandson of Pocahontas and her husband, John Rolfe. He is often confused with his firstborn son of the same name (who also held the same militia rank of major), John Bolling (1700-1757) who at various times because of the creation of new counties and his own establishment of "Bolling Hall" plantation in Goochland County, represented Goochland, Henrico and Chesterfield counties.
