John Bolling was born in 1615 in All Hallows, Barking Parish, London, England and died on November 11, 1648 in London. He was the son of Robert Bolling and wife Anne Clarke. He married Mary Carie on November 23, 1640 in London. She was born in 1620 in London England and died November 11, 1648.

Child of John Bolling and wife Mary Carie:

• John Bolling, Jr. (1644-1712)
• Agnes Bolling (1646-1709)
• Col. Robert Bolling - born in London on December 26, 1646, emigrated to Virginia in 1660. He married (1) Jane Rolfe, one child (2) Anne Stith, nine children.
• Infant daughter (1648-1648)
• Archelous (not sourced yet)

John and his wife Mary died on the same day. Their infant daughter died the same year, exact date not given. This leads me to suspect disease in the household. Their son, Robert, leaves for Virginia the following year, at age 14.
