BOLLINGER

Dr. Jacob M. Bollinger of Camden County was the grandson of Jacob and Sarah (Moreland) Bollinger. The grandfather was of German nationality and moved from Tennessee to Illinois and to Camden County in 1833 and finally located in Polk County where he died about 1837. Wright Bollinger, father of Jacob M. was born in E. Tennessee in 1812. Jacob M. spent his childhood in Hickory County Goodspeed’s History of Camden Co, p. 892.

David H Bollinger and his wife Annette E. are buried in the Marlow Community Cemetery, Milam County, Texas. This cemetery has been neatly transcribed and alphabetized by Perry C. Holder in 150 Years of Cemetery Records (Houston, TX: D. Armstrong, c1991), pp 245-247. Four others by the name are in the grouping include one Pete Bollinger (1791-1879) who one would be tempted to link to David H. David, however, is the son of Joseph and Carmina Bollinger (1880 census of Milam County, Texas, p. 221, dwelling #322. No link has been found between Joseph and Pete Bollinger. Then, why are David and Annette in the Marlow Cemetery? They are buried with her mother Artemise W. Worcester (proof of relationship in Milam County, Texas, Deed Book 21:156), who is nearly as far from her daughter Bollinger (alphabetically) as she could be.
