Notes:

Have 2 separate accounts of letter from Goodman to Garrett Cornelison that mention various family connections to Rebecca King and Rachel Boling. Info mentioned for Uncle Boling King says he was brother to Rebecca King. Also mentions that a Charles Boling was a nephew to Rachel (Boling) Cagle as well as Gardner Boling as brother to Rachel, too.
I have Rebecca King as daughter to Peter and Susannah (Bolling/Boling) King. Peter as s'o Johnston King who was s/o Peter (II) King who was s/o Peter (I) King of Ulster, Ireland. Susannah Bolling as d/o Alexander Bolling and Susannah Bolling. These 2 parents were first cousins, their fathers (Stith and Robert, Jr. Bolling) being sons of Robert Bolling, Sr. and his 2nd wife Anne Stith (md. 1681).
I don't have parents for Rachel Boling. However based on the letter from Goodman to Garrett, Gardner Boling is mentioned as brother of Rachel Boling. If this is so, then I connect Gardner Boling to Benjamin and Patsy (Phelps) Bolling, Jr. Benjamin was a s/o Benjamin Bolling who was s/o John Bolling. John Bolling was the only son of Robert Bolling, Sr.'s (mentioned above)first marriage. Robert Bolling, Sr. married Jane Rolfe in 1675 in Petersberg, VA.
You may not recognize Jane Rolfe. She was the only granddaughter and descendant of Matoaka Powhatan, aka Pocahontas.
If these connections to Rebecca King and Rachel Boling can be proven, then Garrett and Martha "Patsy" Cagle Cornelison descendants are of the so-called "Red" and "White" Bolling lines. Would welcome any comments. Johnny Burl Cornelison

Notes:

"Revolutionary Incidents and Sketches of Character Chiefly in the 'Old North State'" by Rev. E. W. Caruthers, D. D. 1854 & 1856.
p. 104. " A man, by the name of John Cornelison, who lived near the gold and silver mines in Davidson County, was killed in his own house, and in a manner which indicated great barbarity. When several of them went in and fell upon him with clubs and swords, he got back under the mantlepiece, when they shot him down, and he fell into the fire; but his wife pulled him out. Next morning, Mrs Ann Briggs, the mother-in-law of Jacob Goss, Esq. who was originally a Miss Collins, from the neighborhood of Wilmington, went over and saw the body of Cornelison. The hearth was deluged with blood, and the house presented a most frightful scene. The man who shot Cornelison was known, and Cornelison had a relation by the name of Spirey, who was determined to revenge his death. He pursued the Tory who shot Cornelison, and followed his trail into Tennessee. At length he reached the house of a woman who was a relation of his; and thinking himself out of danger, he stopped there for the night; but Spirey was there and, with the stealthiness of an Indian, was watching the house, when he heard the murderer tell his relation, the mistress of the house, that he would pull off his clothes to sleep; for he had not had them off since leaving North Carolina. While he was stripping and preparing for bed; Spirey, being certain of his man, run the muzzle of his gun through a crack or opening between the logs, and shot him dead. Spirey then returned to his home in North Carolina; and this affair was the last of the kind that occured during the struggle for independence. Such scenes present to us the horror of civil war in a strong light, and while they were the price of our liberties, they should serve as a perpetual warning to guard, most vigilantly and strenuously, against everything of the kind to the end of time."

It is unknown at this time whether Jonathan was the son of Conrad or Cornelius.

Jonathan married COX. (daughter of Henry S COX and Mary BROWN) was born on 23 Sep 1751 in , Rowan, North Carolina, USA; died in Deceased. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Peter married Susannah BOLLING. Susannah (daughter of Alexander BOLLING and Susanna BOLLING) was born in 1760 in , , Virginia, USA; died in Deceased. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events:

• Name: Conrad Cornelison
• Residence: 1762, , Loudoun, Virginia, USA
• Residence: 1764, , Rowan, North Carolina, USA
• Will: Oct 1789, , Wilkes, Georgia, USA
• Probate: 30 Mar 1795, , Wilkes, Georgia, USA

Notes:

The children and marriages in these generations of this family are so sketchy that I cannot truthfully say that any of this is fact. Each researcher gives a different opinion. Conrad and Cornelius are especially embroiled in doubts and wonderment.
In Nancy Roberts' book, she says that Cornelius is the father of Garrett, Ann, John, William, and Andrew by an unknown first wife. She gives his second spouse as Margaret.
She says Conrad is the father of Garrett, Hannah, Anne, Jonathan, John, Conrad, Andrew, and William by Anne. Anne was named in Conrad's will.
