Notes
Col. John Blair Bolling, of "Chestnut Grove", Chesterfield Co., VA, sometime representative for Goochland Co. in Virginia House of Burgesses and Sheriff of Goochland Co., VA.
He was of "Chestnut Grove".
Dabney Carr, the son of John, was the rising orator of Revolutionary times, mentioned by Wirt in his "Life of Patrick Henry". He married Martha, sister of Thomas Jefferson. He lived in Goochland, but died in 1773 in Charlottesville, where he had gone on business. He was buried at old Shadwell, but in consequence of an agreement made in youthful friendship, Thomas Jefferson had his remains removed to Monticello, where it was the first of a long list of distinquished interments in the present cemetery.
Mary Polly Carr died unmarried.
