Penelope Bolling Clark

Aaron Furtado Baldwin, UE9006698 - does this interest you? I’m not sure what geni shows currently.

The link doesn’t help, it doesn’t define groups or haplogroups. And it’s Y DNA, how is that relevant to “ Penelope Bolling Clark”?

I don’t think it’s the “the Bolling Family Association with DNA” Private User mentioned, nor to the Clark family.

Descendants of the children of Robert and Anne (Stith) Bolling were called the "White" Bollings. (64) From this second marriage descend the Bollings of "Bolling Hill" and of "Bolling Brook", Petersburg, Virginia. (872) Robert Bolling was called Colonel.

https://www.bolling.net/_files/ugd/fe510c_6adbdef018224525a94fa032c... Shows the family of Robert Bolling & Anne Stith. No daughter Penelelope.

So - still lost.

It would be more relevant to track down her citation.

I added DNA info from the Bolling Family Association & from the FamilyTree DNA project.

I found the citation.

Series I. Lineage Files .
Boxes 1-12
Extent: 12 boxes.

The lineage files contain information provided by Association members that documents their Bolling ancestry, including family group sheets, pedigrees, descendancy charts, hereditary and patriotic organization applications, correspondence, genealogies, and published sources. Some of the material is contained on floppy discs. The information was entered into a lineage database maintained by the BFA. The files are organized alphabetically by member surname, and sometimes include the name of their Bolling ancestor and/or the member's state of residence.

Box 8 Folder 2
Hartline, Roger D. and Morgan R. (Penelope Bolling Clark) LA.

So it’s a submitted pedigree from Roger D. Hartine of Los Angeles.

From the finding aid we don’t actually know which Penelope Bolling Clark Mr. Hartline meant, do we?

It’s impossible chronologically for Penelope Clark to have been a daughter of Colonel Robert Bolling, II & Ann Stith, she’s a contemporary (although I don’t know where the birth data on Geni comes from).

Penelope (unknown)
BIirth: August 14, 1684 New Kent County, Virginia Colony, Colonial America
Death: August 14, 1760 (76) Louisa County, Province of Virginia

Going up a generation, there’s only one known child of Jane Bolling so there’s not a Pocahontas descent here, that I can see.

Geographically it’s not much of a fit either.

Her mt DNA haplogroup is DNA Markers: H4a1, which is a group associated with England & Ireland. So there’s no native origins on her mothers side.

There’s no name affiliation (Penelope as a frequently appearing name in the Bolling family).

There are several origin discussions attached to Penelope profile for review.

In 2016 Pat Rodgers posted to soc.Gen.medieval:

https://groups.google.com/g/soc.genealogy.medieval/c/F8qSFyXNAK4/m/...

Penelope Bolling (dau of John F.Bolling and Mary Kennon)who married Christopher Clark.My matches are on Gedmatch …

So we’ve been comparing wrong profiles.

Col. John Fairfax Bolling & Mary Bolling

From profile for John Bolling:

Two children may be daughters of John Bolling and Mary Kennon but they were not named in his will. If they are his children, the mystery is why they were NOT named in the will. If they are not his children, then what are their connections to Bolling? These two children are not attached to this profile, and have disclaimers on their profiles.

Penelope Bolling (c. 1700-1776), married Captain Christopher Clark (his ancestry is unproven), and had a son Bolling Clark, two grandsons Bolling Clark, a grandson Bolling Clark Anthony, and several other descendants named "Bolling," "John Bolling," or, indeed, "Rolfe Bolling."
