Hi, all.

My great-great-grandmother was Jennie Louise Jolls, daughter of William Robinson Jolls (page 10 of the "Jolls Family in America" document).

Jennie Louise married Abraham Lincoln Colborn; her sister, Belle, married Abraham's brother John Colborn. Jennie and Abraham were the parents of four children: Bruce, Frank, Jerry, and Nettie Louise (my great-grandmother).

Jennie was an avid photographer; she also owned a milliner's shop. My family is in possession of a few photographs of her Jolls relatives; also some of the photographs that she took near her final home in Lava Hot Springs, ID. (Others have been donated to the county museums in Lava Hot Springs and Soda Springs, ID).

If anyone is interested, I can provide a few more details on this line.

I am also curious about a "family rumor" concerning a jewelry store in New York. I think that it was owned by some member of the Jolls family, and I believe (though I'm not certain) we may have a picture of this building. Does anyone know anything more about this?

I am further curious about the "pirate" legend, and about Thomas Jolls's career as a sea captain. Has anyone managed to document facts or find out further information about his activities?

Regards,

Angie Eborn
