to the Anglo-Saxon or the Norman ? In answering this question we must mainly de- pend upon the names of the parties ; and although this test is very far from being conclusive, as the Norman lieutenants fre- quently took their names from the Saxon estates which they seized upon, yet in the main it is the most available which we can adopt. And the question arises, to which of the two great branches of the English race do the Boilings belong ? Evidently from the derivation of the name, which signi...fies "the sons of the Round Hill, " (from Boll, a round Hill, and ing, the plural of the Saxon for son, ) it is of Saxon origin. The name of Boleyn and Bullen belongs to the Normans ; but Bouldin, a Virginia name, is a corruption of Baldwin, at a time when the spelling of words was determinable by the con- sonants mainly, and when a different vowel would be used in writing the same word in the same sentence. The word Bald- win, or its corrupt form, Bouldin, signifies the Bald conqueror, or the victory of the Bald man ; and it would be amusing to inquire how far the heads of the present Bouldins are covered with hair.
