Your W.G.Bolar was one of at least 13 children of Bennett Bolar and Mary Ann Rail. He is listed in the 1850 census for Anderson Co, KY with "Bennett Boler" and the 1860 census for Anderson Co, KY with "Bennett Bowler". In the 1860s Bennett and family moved to Harrison Co, MO. On 3 Dec 1868 he married Angeline Smith in Harrison Co, MO (see Book B, p. 147 of the county marriage records). I'm not sure where you got the surname Boyce -- W.G.'s older brother, William H Bolar married Evelyn Boyce.
Also in the 1860s, Mary Ann Rail died, and Bennett Bolar married Mary Shumard (King). She and her first husband, John King, were my g-g-g-grandparents.
I have information on others of Bennett's children, but have barely scratched the surface of the family in Kentucky. I'd love to have what you have on W.G.'s branch. Please contact me at "[email protected]".
