Note: Notes of Cle Clowney Hall indicate she collected much of the information for this document; typescript is same style as that of biographical sketches of various Clowney ancestors. Note: Full text of document is in notes for John G. Wolling, Sr. Text: ... John George Wolling (originally Walling) was born in Ocala, Florida, July 6, 1852, the son of James William Wolling and Frances Meredith Wolling... His paternal forbears were English having come to America from Wallingsford, England, settling in Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and South Carolina. His father served in the U.S. Forces during the Mexican War, enlisting from the State of Florida. Incidentally, thru an error in the enlistment proceedings, his name was written James William Wolling. He so signed his service vouchers -- thus the name of his branch of Wallings became Wollings... |
