- "William Albert Bolling was born to Colonel William Bolling. As a Deaf child, he got private tutoring with John Braidwood, grandson of Thomas Braidwood who founded the Braidwood Academy. Private tutoring was at the Bolling Hall, his private home with his Deaf sibling, Mary. The private tutoring lasted from 1812 to 1814 along with his Deaf sibling, Mary. Later, he and Mary enrolled at the public school for the Deaf, Cobb School, on the Cobb Plantation, Goochland County, Virginia in 1815 and closed in 1816. He then enrolled again at Manchester School in Manchester, Virginia circa June 1817 to May 1819 (Braidwood left to become a barkeeper at a tavern nearby, while John Kirkpatrick remained as the instructor. William was then transferred to a new school, Cumberland School at Farmville, Cumberland County, Virginia from 1819 to circa 1821 under the instruction of Reverend John Kirkpatrick, who was ordained as a Reverend at the Cumberland County Courthouse May 1819. According to the Cumberland Church records, the daily school stopped in 1821 signed by Reverend John Kirkpatrick. (History will be possibly updated after a full research)"
