From Jones_Family;
William is the brother of three Deaf siblings, John, Thomas Jr., and Mary "Polly." His Deaf children are, William "Albert" and Mary Randolph. He was involved in the four mainstreamed programs that included the Deaf education and normal school mixed in one at different locations in Virginia:
1. Bolling Hall, Chesterfield County, private tutoring by John Braidwood with William's Deaf brother , Thomas Jr. as an assistant, 1812-1815.
2. Cobbs, Goochland County, 1815-1816. Braidwood Institute for the Deaf near Petersburg, Virginia'
3. Old Masonic Hall, Manchester, Chesterfield County, 1817-1819.
4. Cumberland Church, Prince Edward County, Farmville, 1819- circa 1823.
William was devoted to his children and had been sure they are well-cared. He was a curator (archaic word for interpreter), advocate, and a push for Deaf Education in the colonial area. (Source, Kathleen L. Brockway)

Suggested edit: There may be a problem with this William Bolling and I have not a clue and to were to start or to fix it. If you go to the Sons of the American Revolution it lists William Bolling born 1731 died 1778 Married to Mary "Amelia" Randolph born 1735 died after 1776 married 1755. The tombstone has the correct information for a William Bolling and also for A Mary with no maiden name listed on the tombstone. The parents of THIS William may need to be proved. Thank you for all you do and so very sorry to not be able to fix the errors. Vicki (Texastee) 47304759
