From Genforum.com post:

"IN RE JOHN BOLLING, MARRIED MARTHA JEFFERSON, POCAHONTAS, P. 32" "I desire to correct an inadverdent error of the above heading on page 342 of the October number of the Magazine,and thus continuing the Pocahontas error."

"John Bolling married about 1761 Mary Jefferson, the second daughter of Peter Jefferson and Jane Randolph. The Douglas Register, on page 159, evidences the birth of six oldest children of John Bolling and Mary Jefferson as follows: 1. John, born March 24, 1762. 2. Thomas, born February 11, 1764. 3. Jane, born September 17, 1765. 4. Ann, born August 28, 1767. 5. Martha, born ____, 1769. 6. Edward, born September 17, 1772."

Martha Jefferson, a younger daughter of Peter Jefferson and Jane Randolph, married (July 20, 1765) Dabney Carr, a classmate at College of Thomas Jefferson and possibly his closest friend as well as his brother-in-law, who died at Monticello, and was the first to be buried there."
