Leota Boling
I am searching for my gg-grandmother. Her name was Leota Boling b1866. She married Samuel Palmer in 1885. My source of information is a request for widows pension that she filled out when Samuel died, and information from family. Her parents are supposed to be Thomas Jackson & Mary Sparks Boling. However, she never shows up in any census record, and in fact, there is another MALE child showing w/1866 birth date. There is a family rumor that she was of African or Native American descent, and "passed" as white. Older family members who know refuse to discuss this. They swear to carry the secret to their graves! If anyone has any information, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!!!
