This Sally (Bolling / Bowling) White is on my son's patenral lines and nothing I've seen actually seems to document her parentage. The list of children of Mary Kennon and John Bolling don't include her:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bolling

I see that she is connected here to a father with the surname Edwards and there are no parents connected to her mother, so was her mother Mary Kennon the same Mary Kennon who was married to John Bolling or just a same-named person? And if her father's surname was Edwards, wouldn't she be Sally (Edwards) White? It's all pretty confusing.

I Googled Thomas Nathaniel Edwards, Sr. and Mary Elizabeth Kennon and didn't find anything for that couple.

Aside from all that. photography wasn't available in Sally's lifetime. So this can't be her photograph attached here.

I'm wanting to use the application on Ancestry to make a family book as a gift for my son, so I'm going back through his lines on both sides to try to get everything as accurate as I can, because it's $75 and I'd hate to discover after the fact that I have glaring errors in it.

So, any assistance to try to better document these connections would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any assistance on that.

While on the subject of the book, I'm pretty excited about giving it a try. I'm not trying to promote Ancestry's products, but this is awesome...even though expensive...https://www.mycanvas.com/ancestry-book

If I can make as certain as I can on all the info and have time to get all of it done, I hope to give it to him this Christmas. I just got started on this one line tonight, so I have many more to go. Wish me luck! lol

I accepted your request so your now a manager 🤗

Thanks, Polly.
