John J. Greever & Margaret Catherine Perry. Stephen S. Fox, s/o David Spangler Fox & Martha ‘Mattie’ Crabtree]. ADDED DATA: 1900 TAZEWELL CO VA CINSUS # 215, Clear Fork Dist, Robt A. Crockett, enumerator TAYLOR BOLING, 28, b. Aug 1871, farmer (all in home b. VA) .....Steven, 15, b. June 1885, at school, BROTHER LIZZIE BOLING 52, b. Aug 1847, had had 1 child,WIDOW/STEPMOTHER (sic)* * I have not been able to find the death of Barbary (Wynn) Boling or the marriage of Andrew P. Boling to a second wife. Andrew P. Boling died 22 July 1885 at Burke’s Garden, Tazewell Co., VA. Andrew & Barbary (Wynn) were married Dec 13 1860 in Taz. Co., VA. The fact that this census stated that Lizzie had had only one child would apparently mean this was not Barbary Wynn Boling. In 1880 there were seven children of Andrew P. & wife, Elizabeth, in theTazewell CO., VA Census report. Lizzie is a name of endearment for Elizabeth but I do NOT know if the 1880 Elizabeth is the same woman as in the 1900 census. Regarding the family of Mattie A.
