ANDREW J. BOLLINGER,
(BELOW ARE A LIST OF BOLLINGER MARRIAGES)
Bio-Pen Pictures
SURNAMES: TININ, HAHN, STIGER,
one of the pioneers of the Doyle
District, resides on the Stevens Creek road, six miles west of San
Jose. Mr. Bollinger was born in Perry County, Missouri, in 1837. He is
the son of A. J. and Sarah Bollinger, who were former residents of
Bollinger County, Missouri. The founders of the family were of Swiss
origin.
Henry Bollinger, to whom the
subject of this sketch traces his descent, was a Swiss emigrant, who
first settled in Pennsylvania, thence removing to South Carolina about
the middle of the last century. To him the numerous families of that
name owe their origin, and probably fully 1,200 of his descendants are
now living. His name is now borne by one of the prosperous counties of
Missouri. Mathis Bollinger, the grandfather of our subject, was one of
the pioneer settlers of that county. A. J. Bollinger, Sr., with his
family, March 29, 1852, left Missouri, and commenced the overland
journey with ox teams. The Fourth of July was spent in crossing Green
River. It snowed that night. Soon after arriving in the Santa Clara
Valley Mr. Bollinger bought a squatter's right to a part of the land,
which his son (the subject of our sketch) now owns and occupies. His
first home. was just across the Stevens Creek road from the present
family residence. The present residence was established in 1854, and
with it Mr. Bollinger purchased the farm of 160 acres, for which he
paid $1, 500. Ever since the purchase, in 1854, it has been the family
home, and there the father died, March 29, 1885, at the age of
seventy-four years and nine months.
He had been an active,
hard-working man through all his life, and, by his many excellent
qualities, had won the respect of those among whom he had so long made
his home. His widow survives, and lives with their son, whose name
heads this sketch. Although seventy-seven years of age, she yet
retains, to a great degree, the mental vigor of earlier years, but is
somewhat enfeebled physically. Her seven children, except one, were all
born in Missouri. Their names and
present residence are as follows: Mary Lovina, the wife of Christian
Bollinger, is a resident of Santa Clara; Francis Marion lives in Contra
Costa County; Sarah E., the widow of A. C. Tinin, lives in Merced
County; Andrew J. is the subject of this sketch Quintilla P. is the
wife of William Tinin, of Contra Costa County; Morgan D. is a resident
of this county; and Samuel P., born in Santa Clara County, August 19,
1853, lives in Alameda County.
Andrew J. Bollinger, Jr., has lived, since fifteen years of age, in
Santa Clara County, and here, on the fourteenth of October, 1860, he
married Miss Mary Hahn, also a native of Missouri. She is the daughter
of Frederick and Chaney Hahn, who came to this county in 1857. Both of
Mrs. Bollinger's parents are now deceased. To Mr. and Mrs. Bollinger
have been born nine children, viz.: Adam J., who lives with his
parents; George and Theodore, residents of this county; Mrs. Mary Jane
Stiger, of San Jose; Luke R., Martin, Sarah N. and Chaney E. (who are
twins), and Louie A. J., who are members of their father's household.
Mr. Bollinger is the owner of the homestead established by his father
nearly thirty-five years ago. The work of cultivation and improvement
he has faithfully carried on since the property came into his hands,
and the land is now profitably devoted to general farming. A long
residence in the county; necessitating the witnessing of such wonderful
changes and rapid development, has thoroughly identified Mr. Bollinger
with its interests. Politically he is fully in accord with the
principles of the Democratic party.
