William Bolivar & Ruth Ann Stafford

cbfamu — 2008-04-12 04:05:00Z

Hi,

I am researching William Bolivar & Ruth Ann Stafford (New York , early 1800s). They had one child: Albert Bolivar born in 1835 in New York. Albert married Sidonie Collette on Sept. 8 1870. They had five or six children.

I am trying to find out where William Bolivar and Ruth Ann Stafford were born or where they came to NY from.

Thanks!

Hello I'm a Bolivar who's family is also from Cuba. Supposedly related to Simon. 11th great grandfather. My father and family came from the Dominican Republic when he was 10 years old and settled in Tampa.I had heard family say we are from Simon's brother's blood line. Not sure, I also know that Simon had a girl friend in the Caribbean that he visited often. There is a movie being made about him coming out soon. I think starring Denzel Washington. Anyway, I'll ask my father about what he knows about the family and try to start documenting it.

If anyone else has any information on this line would love to talk with you and exchange information
By the way the Bolivar's came over from Germany about 1750 and settled in Nova Scotia.

AJL is my g-g-g-gfr. I have his father as George Lane, but no dates or locations. I have his mother, of course, as Margaret Bolivar, also no other info. I am running into a brick wall with both these names, which is surprising as AJL was a wounded and decorated CSA Colonel, commander of the Hancock County Pierce Guards. Please reply to my email address if you want descendents' information.

Are you having any luck with the Margaret Bolivar brick wall?

Louis Bolivar

2002-08-05 02:46:06Z

I am trying to find info on my great-great grandfather Louis Bolivar. Family history states he came here from France and settled in Mississippi, marrying a woman named Bessie. They had three children: Rubbie, Jasper, and Effie. Rubbie was my great-grandfather. I have looked at ellisisland.org and found two Bolivars of Columbian ethinicity who resided in Paris before coming to the states, but have not been able to find specific information about Louis. Can anyone help me?
Rubbie's surname was changed to Boliver when he joined the military.

My Grandfather was a Bolivar

fejones61 — 2002-05-15 19:54:59Z

My grandfather was I believed "Jacob" Bolivar. He immigrated from Amsterdam and my Father was told he was German. According to a 1920 census report my Grandmother Ola Bell Bolivar(Jones) reported my GGrandfather as being born in Germany. I do not believe this to be true because the name is Hispanic and we, our father and the 8 kids have olive skin.
My GGrandfather and his Father settled in Indiana and somehow moved to Mississippi where he is on record as being buried in Greene County.
Family stories, which I'm finding are sometimes changed to protect the innocent, mentions cousins, don't know if these are on GGrandmothers side or not. Cannot read death certificates because of the writing over and crossing out, this is why I'm not real sure if it is Jacob or if it is John as was always told.
My GGrandmothers name was Mary Frances and they had three girls, Virginia, Ola and Gertrude and one Boy John, it is Johns death certificate that I have gotten most of the information from but he died in 1935 and it was marked over and Mary's last name is not clear, nor is My GGrandfathers first name. is also spelled Bolever, which I have never found that as a common spelling or in any other data base.
Any help ?? I appreciate it in advance.

Fran

MY GGrandfather was a Bolivar/Bolever

fejones61 — 2002-05-15 19:54:59Z

Ola Bell
Gertrude

I have seen it spelled both ways , one of which is English the othe Hispanic.... Any relatives out there.

Re: Bolivar ancestry

kaosrus — 2002-03-18 15:24:44Z

My Bolivar relative is Margaret Bolivar, who is somehow related to El Libertador according to family legend. She married George Lane (b. Roanoke VA) and their descendent in my lineage was Col. Andrew Jackson Lane b. 1822 VA, d. 1886 Hancock Cty, GA. I've tried to research via Latino databases, but between the Spanish and the Latin name lineages, I wasn't successful. Any info at all would be appreciated, on Margaret or Simon (who I understand died childless).

Re: Bolivar ancestry

2001-11-14 15:47:15Z

Hi. I saw your posting. My name is William Bolivar, I was born in "Bolivar City", a small town, but very rich in gold, platinum, coffee and emeralds located in Colombia, S.A.
It was founded by Fernando Bolivar, nephew to "El Libertador" and who happens to be, according to my family tree line, my great grandfather. Simon himself, had no children with his young wife, for she died just 4 months after their marriage. However, he was reputedly a sort of promiscuos individual, and according to "the people's history" many countrymen, were honored by having their daughter "stay" with El Libertador. There are uncorfinmed accounts that Simon Bolivar, actually gave his name to some of the children he had during his era. There is also, one account (Unconfirmed) that Manuelita Saez, his mistress, did actually bear one of his children. The only known true is that Simon Bolivar's brother, had a few sons, one of them been Fernando, who was also a Lietunant in the liberation Army and
Simon Bolivar's personal "escriba". To this date, the only descendants proven come from his roots. Fernando Died in Bolivar Town and Simon Died in Santa Marta, both in Colombia.

Hi. My father Floro Bolivar was from the Philippine Islands, and resided and died in California. He used to say that he was one of five children, and the only one to emigrate to US (through the Japanese-Philippine war). He said our name was South American. Any ties to Bolivars in Philippines? I know records were destroyed during the war in a church fire. Looking for family and history.
