Additional Curator's Notes:

Ann Stith who married Robert Bolling is NOT the same person as Ann Meriwether Bolling. Two of Ann Stith Bolling's sons married Meriwether girls and that is when Meriwether became a part of Bolling and Stith naming patterns.

Ann Stith (1660-1709) was the daughter of John Drury Stith and wife Jane Mosby. She was born in c.1660 in Charles City Co., Virginia and died at Kippax Plantation, Prince George Co., Virginia. Ann married Robert Bolling, Virginia planter and public servant, in 1681. She was his second wife. They had a large family -- nine children -- who went on to shape Virginia history.

Children of Ann Stith and Robert Bolling:

• Jane Bolling (b. 1682), died young.
• Robert Bolling Jr. (1682–1749), married Anne Mary Cocke. Robert was the grandfather of Beverley Randolph, the eighth Governor of Virginia.
• Stith Bolling (1686–1727), married Elizabeth Hartwell.
• Edward Bolling (1687–1720), married Ms. Slaughter.
• Anne Bolling (1690–1750), married Robert Wynne.
• Drury Bolling (1695–1726), married Elizabeth Meriwether.
• Thomas Bolling (1697–1734).
• Agnes Bolling (1700–1762), married Richard Kennon.
• Molly Mary Bolling (b. 1702), died young.
