Article on Ancestral Home

Rev. Frank Kingdom of Harmony
formerly of England is responsible
| for the appearance of the following
article in a Maine daily 1t is taken
from the Bradford (Eng) Observer
! and is as follows:
Last week we gave the story of the
connection with the Bollings of Brad
/ ford of Mrs. Norman Gait, the future
wife of President Wilson. This week
We give further details sof her ances-
| tral home-Chellow Grange. now the
headquarters of the West Bradford
Golf Club. Mrs. Gait. it will be re-
membered. is descendant of Poca-
hontas, the daughter of the Indian
chief Powhatan. The story of Poca-
hontas is we'll known to readers of
American history. She saved the life
of Captain John Smith, the English
man. when her father Powhatan had
determined to take the explorers life
At his daughters supplication the
chief relented. Pocahontas was
made IA prisoner on the suppositon
that Captain Smith had been murder
ed. AT jamestown she met John
Rolfe, fell in love with him. and mar
ried him with the full rites of the
church about April |. 1914. Mrs.
Calf is a descendant in the ninth gem
GRAFTON of Rolfe and Pocahontas, The
latter came to England in 1916 and
died at sea in the following year.
1t is when Mrs. Cats family his
tory comes to be associated with the
Bollings that our interest in the story
increases. Towards the end of the
fifteenth century, Rosamund, the
daughter of Tristram Boiling. of Boil
ing Hall, was married to Sir Richard
Tempest of Bracewell 1t was
brilliant match. and fittingly to cele-
brate it the father Of the bride gave
Boiling Hall to the couple. He him
self being a widower. and. ii is pre-
sumed. getting on in years. went to
live at Chellow Grange. which had or
iginally been built by the monks of
Selby Abbey. The Grange then
came into possession of the Bollings
and was a sort of dover" house.
While living here Tristram Boiling
married again. and had three sons
and nj least two daughters. One of
the descendants OF this second mar
riage was Robert Boiling. who, fol-
lowing the troubled days of the Stuart
Kings. migrated to America when 10
years OF age. He settled In Virginia
and fifteen years later. in 1875, mar
ried Jane Roife. the daughter Of
Thomas Rolfe. who was the son of
John and pocahontas Rolfe II is

Cali with the Bollings. aud gives her
claim to regard Chellow Grange as
her ancestral home.

AS her husband has been on

with which he helps her in many
ways. He is able to drive her to
