Bollee Spelling Variations

Spelling and translation were hardly exact sciences in Medieval Scotland.

Spelling variations are thus an extremely common occurrence in Medieval Scottish names. Bollee has been spelled Bully, Bulley, Bullie and others.

Migration of the Bollee family

Such hard times forced many to leave their homeland in search of opportunity across the Atlantic. Many of these families settled along the east coast of North America in communities that would become the backbones of the young nations of the United States and Canada. The ancestors of many of these families have rediscovered their roots in the 20th century through the establishment of Clan societies and other patriotic Scottish organizations. Among them: Captain Bulley who settled in Boston Mass in 1763; Mathew Bulley settled in Maryland in 1727; John Bulley arrived in Philadelphia in 1866. But perhaps the first settler was Nicholas Bully who settled in Maine in 1630. George Bully settled in Maryland in 1730..
