I have a great grandfather that was born in
1858 in Tennessee along with a twin sister.
He was James Madison Boling and I understand
that he had an older brother named Frank.

It is possible that your 1873 ancestor might
have been related through the Frank Boling
family but I don't have any data on that.

Let me know if your family had any of the
following "fingerprints":

Names like James Madison Boling, Mary Maude
Boling or Frank Boling. Any occurance of
twins in the family? Any connection to
Rutherford County, TN?
