Many researchers confuse this William A Boling with the other Morgan Co, KY William A Bowling who married Elizabeth Morgan. There are a lot of similarities: They both married in Jan 1856 in Morgan Co; my GGrandfather William A Boling, son of Henry & Ellen Boling, married Celia Cock on 29 Jan 1856, and the other William A Bowling, son of Benjamin & Nancy Bowling, brother to Henry Boling, married Elizabeth Morgan on 24 Jan 1856, both by the same minister in the same church; they both had a daughter in December of 1856: To my GGrandfather William A & Celia Cock Boling was born Armilda Boling on 20 Dec 1856 in Grassy Creek, Morgan Co, KY, and to the other William A & Elizabeth Morgan Bowling was born Frances H. Bowlen on 3 Dec 1856 in Blackwater, Morgan Co, KY.
William A Bowling who married Elizabeth Morgan was the brother of Henry Boling and uncle to Henry's son William A Boling who married Celia Cock, Polly Lockhart, Nancy Jane Mullins, and Julina Stepp. My GGrandfather is said to have "had a wife on every hillside" so he could have had other wives but these are the only four of which I have documentation.
A descendant, Vincent Ratliff, a grandson of Georgia Bowling, said that William had two houses on the Dogleg Farm and that he was a Mormon and at one time he had two wives that lived with him on the farm, one in each house, which I'm assuming was Nancy and Juliana, he said all the kids would share the chores and they would have dinner together and go to their separate houses to sleep, and he said William would choose which place he stayed each night. So if that is true Nancy should be buried in the same cemetery.
