PREFACE
SOME years ago I discovered a paper which mentioned
the home town in Ireland of a well-known New England
family. A member of this family went to County Tyrone
to see the village and to gather records. He came back a wiser
man. He had found one sandy road with cabins on either side.
There were no men of education except the parish priest, and
no records. This is not a picture of all Ireland, but it does
convey a hint of the difficulties to be encountered by a genealo-
gist in rural districts.
Since the destruction of deeds, wills, and many church
registers in the Four Courts Record Office in Dublin in 1922
the task is doubly hard. Fortunately part of the Bolton material
at the Four Courts was copied before 1922. This material
may help families other than the Boltons, who are primarily
involved. In order to keep some semblance of chronology I
have often used the phrase " born about," but the year which
follows is merely an approximation to truth.
Every one engaged in a quest like this must record his debt
to " Burke," but corrections and additions are possible even in
this invaluable volume. The living Boltons in Ireland have
been helpful and courteous in their letters to me.

THE BOLTONS OF COUNTY DUBLIN
THE BOLTONS OF COUNTY DUBLIN
IN treating of this family, Burke has run into some diffi-
culties which are beyond solution where records are not to
be had. Fortunately several wills were copied from the
Four Courts Record Office before it was burned, and of these
free use has been made. The many men named Edward and
Richard make for confusion, and the Tullydonnell line is still
far from clear.
On 17 Sept. 1902, a recorded pedigree was copied by H.
Claude Blake, Athlone Pursuivant of Arms. This has been
helpful. It was sent to me by John Marshall Bolton, Esq., and
is here referred to as the official pedigree or " Off. Fed."
This family, and perhaps all the families discussed in this
book, descended, it is supposed, from Ughtred de Bolton, whose
effigy, cut about 1 165, is still over the north door of the church
at Bolton, Westmorland.
Rogers Bolton, born about 1472, is called in Some Funeral
Entries "third son of Bolton of Bolton in Lancashire." He may
therefore have been the third son of Roger Bolton, lord of the
manor of Little Bolton, who was born about 1430 and dead in
1483. The Rev. James Bolton, " late vicar of Audley, Staf-
fordshire," in 1477, may have been this Roger's brother. From
Roger, dead in 1483, the ancestry can be traced back for many
generations in Mrs. C. K. Bolton's unprinted charts. Roger's
descendants hold a conspicuous place in Burke's Landed Gentry
of Ireland, but there are some omissions and inaccuracies in the
printed account, as well as many problems yet unsolved.
Child:
2. i, James^ of Great Fenton, County Stafford, a village
south of the pottery town of Burslem.
2] BOLTON FAMILIES IN IRELAND
2. James- Bolton {Roger^), of Great Fenton, Staffordshire,
was born about 1502. Nothing is known of him beyond men-
tion in Some Funeral Entries. He married Agnes, daughter and
co-heir of Richard German of Great Fenton, Gent.
Children:
2a(?) i. [Rogers], hving about 1580. Died without issue.
3 ii. John, " 2d son and heir."
3a(?)iii. Thomas. He and his wife Alice were defendants
in a case against Roger Bolton concerning land in Audley,
about 1580. Contract for a sale was violated.
3. John^ Bolton (lames'^, Roger^), born about 1525-30,
was the " 2d son and heir." He held the manor of Audley in
1580, and a few years earlier was in a controversy over a pas-
ture there called " Swan Hays." He married Margaret, daugh-
ter of Richard Ashe of Ashe, County Stafford. She married
for a second husband Thomas Allen and by him had " many
children." She died at Dublin 11 Oct. 1620. His arms: Or on
a chevron gules 3 lions couchant.
Children:
4. i. Sir Richard*, born about 1570. Chief baron of
Ireland.
(?) ii. John. He may have been father of Roger of
Dublin who married in 1638.
iii. Jane, married about 1600 to William (Walter
in Official Pedigree) Weldon of Weldon, County Stafford
(of Athy in County Kildare in Official Pedigree).
4. Sir Richard* Bolton {John^, James-, Roger^) was born,
it is said, about 1570, probably at Audley, Staffordshire. He
married first Frances, daughter of Richard Walter of Stafford.
His second wife was Margaret, widow of Luke Netterville and
daughter of Sir Patrick Barnwell of Turvey. Val Savage wrote
2 April, 1646 : " It is reported by both protestants and papists
that Sir Ri. B. has married Luke Nettervill's widow." Sir
Richard began his career in England, and was defendant in a
BOLTON FAMILIES IN IRELAND [3
suit about land in Fenton Calvert, County Stafford, three miles
from Newcastle-under-Lyme, in Queen Elizabeth's time. He
is said to have removed to Ireland to avoid results of censure
by the Star Chamber. As early as 1619, when he was Solicitor
General in Ireland, his name was brought to the notice of the
King by his " very loving friend J. Buckingham," for his " car-
riage in the business between the Earls of Ormond and Des-
mond," Buckingham having received " testimonies of his worth
and abilitie to do his Majestie service." This is referred to in
a letter dated 2 Oct. i6ig\ His rise to eminence may be sum-
marized from the Dictionary of National Biography as follows :
1607. Recorder of Dublin.
1613. Member of Parliament.
16 1 8. Knighted (4 July).
1 61 8. Solicitor General of Ireland. Authorized 31 Dec.
1 62 1. Compiler of the " Irish Statutes."
1622. Attorney General to the Court of Wards and
Liveries at Dublin.
1623. Permitted to practise in other courts.
1625. Lord chief baron of His Majesty's Court of Ex-
chequer in Ireland.
1638. Author of "A Justice of the Peace in Ireland."
1639. Chancellor of Ireland (6 Dec).
In 1637 Sir Richard and the Chief Justice were authorized
by Charles I to take four shillings in the pound between them for
every thousand pounds yearly increase of rent to be obtained
from compositions for defective titles. The order was dated
7 April in the twelfth year of his reign. Sir Richard was effi-
cient, but not unmindful of his own interests.
Sir Richard had an active and stormy career. Having as-
sisted the Earl of Strafford in the introduction of arbitrary
government into Ireland, articles of impeachment for high trea-
son were drawn up by the House of Commons and sent to the
House of Lords on 4 March, 1640. The next year he filed his
' " Extract from the writings of Sir Win. Ware, the antiquarian."
4} BOLTON FAMILIES IN IRELAND
several answers, but no notice was taken of the matter. In
1642 it was ordered that " Sir Richard Bolton, Knight, Lord
Chancellor, shall stand hereby absolutely dismissed of the said
articles and from the said cause and accusation." In 1661 the
proceedings w^ere expunged from the records.
Sir Richard's home was at Brazeel, County Dublin, until
toward the close of his life\ Mr. Joyce in his Neighbourhood
of Dublin (191 2) speaks of the mansion as a gaunt ruin on
high ground close to the cross roads. In the official Pedigree
he is called " of Courtduffe." With the triumph of Cromwell
in 1 641, Sir Richard lost his estates, and was in great poverty.
(See Marquis of Ormonde's MSS. Hist. MS. Commission,
2d series, vol. II, p. 215.) On 26 October, 1642, his friends
petitioned the King for funds to send him to England, he and
his family being " reduced to so extreme poverty as they will
be very suddenly in danger to perish through mere want." In
August, 1644, Sir Richard was authorized by King Charles to
remove himself to England, there to receive " all and singular
the fees, profits, rents, revenues, commodities, perquisites and
emoluments whatsoever to him our said chancellor any way
belonging," regardless of laws relating to non-residence.
In the rebellion, Luke Netterville, second son of Nicholas,
Viscount Netterville, was killed, a lawless and ruthless rebel.
His widow, who became Lady Bolton in 1646, had lands at Cor-
bollis, County Dublin or County Louth ; Baltray, County Louth ;
Kilcrea, County Dublin; and Palmerstown, County Dublin; this
was by an agreement with her first husband, made in 1 623 . Val
Savage wrote 22 February, 1647 : " My Lord Chancellor about
half an hour since took coach in company with [General
Thomas] Preston's daughter [Mary, wife of Colonel Francis
Netterville, Lady Bolton's second son] to go to Corballyes.
He hath kept his bed two days last week." Sir Richard died in
November, 1648. His will was dated 22 Jan. 1634, and was
proved in 1648. A portrait of him, erroneously said to have
' Now a ruin near Brackenstown.

been destroyed by fire, was owned ( 1932) by John M. Bolton
of Carrickmacross, County Monaghan, when a photograph was
made\ Lady Bolton petitioned in 1661 for the recovery of
her lands, having lived for several years on the bounty of Chris-
tian friends in England while the Harcourt family enjoyed her
property. See also under Edward Bolton, No. 50,
In 1 62 1 Bolton published at Dublin, in a folio volume, a
selection of statutes passed in parliaments held in Ireland,
under the title The Statvtes of Ireland, beginning the third yere
of K. Edward the second, and continuing vntill the end of the
Parliament, begunne in the eleiienth yeare of the reign of our
most gratious Soueraigne Lord King lames, and ended in the
thirteenth yeare of his raigne of England, Fraunce, and Ireland.
Newly pervsed and examined with the Parliament Rolls; and
diuerse Statutes imprinted in this booke, which were not for-
merly printed in the olde booke. Anno Dom. M.DC. XXI.
Bolton published in 1638, at Dublin, a folio volume with
the following title : A Ivstice of Peace for Ireland, consisting
of two bookes: The first declaring th' exercise of that office
by one or more lustices of Peace out of Sessions, The second
setting forth the forme of proceeding in sessions, and the mat-
ters to be enquired of, and handled therein. Composed by Sir
Richard Bolton Knight, Chief Baron of his Majesties Court
of Exchequer in Ireland. Whereunto are added many presi-
dents of indictments of treasons, felonies, misprisions, pra-
munires, and finable offences of force, fraud, omission, and
other misdemeanors of severall forts, more then ever hereto-
fore have beene published in print. . . .
Children of Sir Richard and Frances:
5. i. Edward^ born 1592; "aged 15 yeares" in 1607.
6. ii. Richard, born 1593 ; aged 14 in 1607.
^This portrait was secured by John M. Bolton "with other pictures and all
Sir Richard's papers from Vine of Grafton Street, Dublin, who purchased them
from the last of the Bective [Boltons] on his going off to South Africa. He called
them scripts or receipts from Charles I for money lent to him." — Letter from
J. M. Bolton, dated 7/1 [Jan., i9]34.

11. ix. Benjamin, born about 1608.
5. Sir Edward" Bolton {Sir Richard*, John^, James^,
Roger^) was born in 1592. He entered DubHn University in
161 1. Sir Edward became Solicitor General 5 Dec. 1623, was
knighted by Lord Wentworth, lord deputy of Ireland, at Dub-
hn in 1636, and was appointed chief baron of the Exchequer
and a member of the Privy Council 6 Dec. 1639. In 1637 he
had the demise of the prebend of Swords for 43 years, the
town and lands of Lissenhall, and of the tithes and glebelands
from the archbishop of Dublin. He obtained also by purchase
the town and lands of Colomyn and Kingmalston, County
Dublin, the same year; also the manor of Bective, County
Meath. He was made Commissioner for the Administration
of Justice at Dublin in 1651 at a salary of £200 a year.
His estate was at Brazeel, County Dublin. He married
Isabella, daughter of William (Sir George in Off. Ped.) Ayloffe
of Chissell, County Essex, sergeant at law (Visitation of Cam-
bridgeshire). She was buried at St. Brides Church, Dublin,
4 Feb. 1674. A prerogative grant shows that he died intestate
before 4 March, 1701, which would make him over a hundred
at death. Administration was granted to " Lady Isabella
Ransford als. Bolton wife of Mark Ransford of Dublin Knt.,"
BOLTON FAMILIES IN IRELAND [7
his granddaughter. The Irish Record Office Pedigree says that
he died 5 Sept. or 18 Feb. 1659, aged 66, when Isabella was
only two years old. John M. Bolton, Esq., in 1936 had a por-
trait of Sir Edward.
Children:
12. i. Nicholas'', born perhaps about 1625.
13. ii. Edward, born about 1628.
iii. Anne, born say about 1630; married (i)
Thomas Adderley; (2) Alexander Pigott of Inishowen,
County Mayo, and left issue by him.
iv. Jane, married Patrick Nangle, son of Thomas
Nangle, Baron of the Navan. They had a daughter Frances,
wife of Dudley Loftus, LL.D.
6. Richard'' Bolton {Sir Richard*, John^, James^, Roger^)
was born in 1593. This Richard is probably referred to in
1649 ^s an officer entitled to £74-10-0 " arreares pay."
Nothing more is known of him unless he was the father of
children here set down to his brother James. Perhaps referred
to as of " Tulloghdonnell Townland " in 1659/60.' E. R.
Bolton's chart says d. s. p.
7. JoHN^ Bolton {Sir Richard*, J ohn\ James-, Roger^) was
born in 1596. According to Some Funeral Entries he as " son
of Sir Rich*^ Boulton " married Elizabeth, daughter of Nicholas
FitzWilliams of Baldongan, County Dublin, near Lusk. (Irish
Record Office Pedigree says Nicholas Nangle.) John was of
Drogheda. Will dated 24 April, 1644, and proved 13 May,
1644. Burke's Landed Gentry, 6th edition, confuses this John
with John of Little Bolton.
Children:
14. i. Edward^, born about 1625. Said to have married
Honora. But see 19a.
ii. Bridget.
* Tullydonnell is S.E. of Drumcar, which is north of Drogheda.
8] BOLTON FAMILIES IN IRELAND
8. Thomas^ Bolton {Sir Richard*, John^, James-, Roger^)
was born in 1599. He was of Knock^ and Tullydonnell, County
Louth, and he or a son of the name was a merchant of
Drogheda, County Louth, in 1683, importing coal that year.
{Archaological Journal, Vol. 3.)
Children:
i. MARY^ baptized at Dublin, 19 May, 1641 or
1642, as " daughter of Capt. Thomas Bolton."
ii. Elizabeth, born about 1645. Married Kings-
mill Pennefather, of Ballover, Old New Park, County Tip-
perary, M.P. for Cashel, etc. High sheriff 1703 and 1708.
In 1698 he and " his wife Elizabeth Pennefather alias
Bolton" were defendants in a controversy over land; in
1 712 one of the plaintiffs was Richard Buckworth, pos-
sibly a brother of her brother's wife. Burke is evidently in
error under Pennefather.
15. iii. NICHOLAS^ born 1647.
Note: The Official Pedigree adds: Lancelot, Anne, and
Frances, omitting Elizabeth. There was a Lancelot Bolton
in Ireland at about this time but not of this family.
9. James^ Bolton {Sir Rich ard*^, John^, James-, Roger^) was
born in 1602. His wife's name was Anne, and his niece was
Susanna Brennan. O'Hart's Irish pedigrees has an account of a
prominent family of the name Brennan. Captain James Bolton
lived at Drogheda, where he was Mayor in 1636, and had
lands called " Tullaghdonnell." He commanded a Foot Com-
pany under Sir Henry Tichborne, and at the siege of Drogheda,
in September, 1643, he may have been wounded, for he died
the next year. His will was signed 24 April, 1644, and ad-
ministration granted on May 13th. He is probably referred
to as entitled to £480-12-8 in " arreares pay." He equipped
and perhaps raised his own company, and from his extensive
farm fed the soldiers with " corn " and beer, for which large
' Knock is between Louth and Dundalk.

sums were due his estate. His executor was his " dearely loved
ffather S'^ Richard Bolton." He mentions without names his
children. The names iii to v below are from the Official Pedi-
gree, but the authority is not given.
Children:
16. i. Thomas, born about 1630.
1 6a. ii. Richard, born about 1632.
iii. Anne.
iv. Susan.
V. Isabella.
and possibly
1 6b. vi. Gregory, born about 1630. Of Dundalk, 1689,
when attainted by King James's Parliament.
10. Carroll^ Bolton {Sir Richard^, John^, James^, Roger^)
was born about 1606. His wife Jane is mentioned in his will
which was signed 27 Feb. 1678/9 and proved by the widow
12 April (29 March in Off. Ped.) (31 March in Ir. Rec. Off.
Ped.), 1 68 1. He married Jane, daughter and co-heir of the
Rev. John Symonds of Killevy, County Armagh. She died
perhaps in 1684. He frequently appears in the records of the
time as Major Bolton. He was sergeant major of a regiment
of foot, and called adjutant. His father, when about to die in
1648, nominated him to the office of clerk of Recognizances
and Decrees in Ireland. In 1661 he stated that the office by
an error had been granted to another. The same year, 1661,
he was appointed receiver of quit rents due to the King in
County Armagh. About 1666 he had lost his position as sub-
Commissioner to adjust claims, and in 1667 was appointed to
plant madder and licorice in Ireland in order to take the trade
from the Dutch.
He mentions his property in his will: — the manor of
Killeen, County Armagh, that is the town of Ballylis, Lisnadill
Parish or Killevy Parish near Armagh, the town of Seefin,
King's County, the half town of Bally Temple and the sessiogh
lo] BOLTON FAMILIES IN IRELAND
of Tawnatbane. He leased the manor of Dyneham and Mar-
shallstown, County Dublin, where he seems to have lived. He
had also in the city of Limerick " 49 arreares " of pay due
officers in 1649. One debenture due him amounted to £1608—
ii-i. He laid claim to several other townlands in County
Antrim and elsewhere. His executors were Sir George Rawdon,
Bart., and his son-in-law, Richard Chapell. The Major seems
to have acted in a confidential capacity for the great family of
Butler. In the " Ormonde papers " a letter of his to Lord John
Butler, dated 24 July, 1 674, shows his powers as a matchmaker.
Children:
17. i. JoHN^ born about 1638.
ii. Mary, born perhaps about 1640. Married Rich-
ard Chapell, 1 67 1. Her will was proved in 1740. " Eldest
daughter." Dorothy Chapell, perhaps his sister, married
Mary's brother John.
iii. Anne, born perhaps about 1642. She married
Mathew Lord.
iv. Dorothy, born perhaps about 1644.
V. Jane, born ; married Walter Hitchcock.
Her daughter Elizabeth is mentioned in her father's will.
vi. Hill, born perhaps about 1646. A daughter. She
married Jo. Childermas.
The Official Pedigree adds vii. Frances and viii. Elinor.
The Record Office Pedigree adds ix. Arthur, x. Caryl,
xi. Frane.
1 1 . Benjamin^ Bolton {Sir Richard*, John\ James', Roger^ )
was born about 1 608. He received £30 by the will of his brother
James in 1644. He married (i) Christian, daughter of Rev.
Luke Usher; (2) Mary Jacob; (3) Juliana Tulle. Perhaps
the man who died intestate at Dublin in 167 1 ; administration
granted to Juliana Bolton relict.
Benjamin and Christian had:
i. Richard.
BOLTON FAMILIES IN IRELAND [ii
Note : At St. Nicholas Without, Dublin, Marie, daughter
of Benjamin, baptized 23 Jan, 1641. Perhaps daughter of
Mary Jacob.
12. Nicholas^ Bolton {Sir Edward", Sir Richard^, John^,
James", Roger^) was born about 1625. He married about
I May, 1649, Anne, second daughter of Nicholas Loftus of
Fethard, County Wexford, born 8 Feb. 1630. They lived at
Brazeel, County Dublin, and Bective Abbey, County Meath.
She was a witness with " Mrs. Bolton als St. Lawr " in 1655
at a christening by Dr. Lightburn. In 1669 he was sheriff of
the county, and M.P. for County Dublin. He died i Aug. 1692,
and administration was granted in 1 705 ( 1 6 Nov. ) , his daugh-
ter Frances Hamilton and his son Edward Bolton of London
being his administrators. Mrs. Bolton had died 2 Jan. 1690.
An agreement between Mr. Bolton and the Rev. Andrew Hume
of Trim, County Meath, has been preserved, dated 21 June,
1687. Mr. Hume agreed to serve the cure of Bective for the
small tythes and tythe hay.

Theophilus Shawe, Esq.
1 6a. Richard*' Bolton {James^, Sir Richard*, John^, James-,
Roger^) seems to have been the ancestor of the Boltons at TuUy-
donnell and " Calga," County Louth. The line here is very
uncertain, but they were all associated with TuUydonnell.
His wife's name in the Irish Record Office Pedigree is given
as Tulle. (See No. 11.)
Possible children:
23. i. Edward\ born about 1660. Had a son Richard,
and lands at TuUydonnell.

all his property to his wife for life and then to this son, he to
pay all legacies and debts. He was of " Killeene." " He mar-
ried Dorothy, daughter of Richard Chapell," writes John M.
Bolton, " and had a son John. Of the daughters I am not cer-
tain." The Irish Official Pedigree says he married Margaret
Beauchamp of Kilwer, County Carlow.

See below.
iv. A daughter.
Anthony (No. 21) may have been the father of the fol-
lowing, but the seal of Thomas below suggests a Lancashire
origin If it has any significance.
(?) V. Anthony, born 1731; died at New York 31
May, 181 1. Buried from Trinity Church. "The great
shoemaker of N. Y. before the Revolution." He lived at
118 Broadway (Walter Barrett's Old Merchants of N. Y.,
Vol. 3, p. loi ; Vol. 4, p. 207). Moved in 1796 to No. 20
Broadway. His wife, Martha, died 12 Feb. 1808, aged
76 years (Trinity Church record of tombstones). The
New York Evening Post of Saturday, 20 Feb. 1808, says
that she died " this morning."

Master in Chancery. Assistant Alderman 1818-27.
Clerk of Common Council. Agent for Havre pack-
ets. Bookplate described in Bolton's American
Armory. The arms thereon would suggest that he
was an oldest surviving son, and that he came from
a Lancashire family.
3. Elizabeth Roberts, '* daughter of Anthony," died
9 April, 1807. (A^. Y. Evening Post, 10 April.)
22. Theophilus^ Bolton {Nicholas^, Thomas^, Sir Richard^,
John^, James', Roger^) was born at Burrishoole, County Mayo,
about 1678. He graduated at Dublin University in 1698, and
married, but died without issue 31 Jan. 1744. Will dated 27
July, 1743/4. His widow died " in advanced age " about May,
1773. He was ordained deacon at Dublin 26 Sept. 1703. His
career may be summarized as follows :
1707. Prebendary of Monmohenock.
1707. Prebendary of St. Patrick's, Dublin.
1707 and 1 7 13. Prebendary of Stagonil.

1729. Bishop of Dublin.
1729/30. Archbishop of Cashel (6 Jan.) ;
Primate of Munster and Privy Councillor.
The Archbishop was a preacher of great eloquence, learned in
ecclesiastical history and the canon law, and known in literary
history as a friend of Dean Swift. The improvement of marsh
BOLTON FAMILIES IN IRELAND [ 19
lands and the repair of churches were among his activities. His
manner was gracious and considerate, but in politics he was a
vigorous defender of the Irish party against Primate Hugh
Boulter, champion of the English. (See Mant's History of the
Church of Ireland.) One of his sermons (1721) is in print.
He left his 8,000 books to the Archbishops of Cashel forever.
23. Edward^ Bolton {Richard"^, James'', Sir Richard*, John^,
James^, Roger^) was born about 1660. The Irish Record Office
Pedigree says that he married Miss Donaldson.
Child:
i. ELIZABETH^ born about 1690. In 1738 the wife of Mr.
Richardson. Mrs. Bolton (nee Corker) in her will, 1738,
says: " To my step-daughter Elizabeth Richardson £10, as
a token that I remember her kind and obliging behaviour
to me."
Edward Bolton married (2) Elizabeth Corker of Dublin,
daughter of Thomas Corker, merchant, and sister of Chambre,
Edward, and Thomas, of a family recorded in Burke. He lived
at Tullydonnell, County Louth, and was dead in 17 17 when his
widow made an agreement with James Bolton of the same place
in behalf of herself and her children, all minors, and with her
brother Thomas Corker of Dublin for an annuity of £30 a year
out of the lands of Tullydonnell and Scobagh. She died before
15 Sept. 1740, and was buried at Drumcar, County Louth. In
her will she calls herself of Drogheda. She left £10 to the
Rev. Mr. Henry of that town, and to the Rev. Henry Smith
of Clonkeehan, County Louth, £2 for the poor. The will was
signed i March, 1738.
Children:
32. i. RICHARD^ born after 17 10. An executor of his
mother's will. Received her silver spoons and £6 for his
services. Iron founder of Church Street, Dublin ; died 1 802.
Perhaps the Richard Bolton of St. Mary, Dublin, Gent.,
20] BOLTON FAMILIES IN IRELAND
who married (lie. 5 April 1735) Elizabeth Baker. A
daughter (?) Barbara married in 1796 Gerald O'Farrell,
counsel to the Barrack Board.
ii. Corker, born about 1 7 13. Living 17 17. Dead
in 1738?
iii. Brazeel, born about 17 16. In 1738 the wife of
Randall Young of Atherdee, County Louth, who was an
executor of the will.
iv. Abigail, born about 1718. The wife of George
Elliot in 1738.
V. Mary, born about 1720. Not married in 1738.
vi. Sarah, born about 1722. Not married in 1738.
vii. Arabella, born about 1724. Not married in
1738.
24. James^ Bolton {Richard^, James'% Sir Richard*, John^,
James^, Roger^) was born about 1662. In 171 7 he was of
Tullydonnell, County Louth, Gent., when he entered into an
agreement with Elizabeth, widow of Edward Bolton (No. 23 ) .
If Edward's family died out in the male line, as seems probable,
the Boltons of County Louth who appear in the list of wills
would seem to be descended from this James or his brother
Charles. Called in the Irish Record Office Pedigree " Mer-
chant of Bucklane." No record of children has been found.
He appears to be the James Bolton of " Colga," County Louth,
whose will was probated in 1736.
Possible children:
33. i. James^ born about 1690. Apparently the James
of Clonkeen, County Louth, who in 17 11 had license to
marry Margaret Robinson. If of " Calga," County Louth,
in 1763 he made his will then. He was possibly the father
of (a) James, who married in 1750 Margaret Izod, and
(b) Edward of Louth, who died 19 Jan. 1796, aged 76.
34. ii. THOMAS^ born about 1685 ? of " Calga," County
Louth. A girl, Mabel, recorded as daughter of Thomas
BOLTON FAMILIES IN IRELAND [21
Bolton of " Colga, County Louth," married Rev. Monsell
Hewson (born 1704) and had George and John.
Possibly also:
35. iii. Boyle, born say about 1692. Of Carrickbagott,
County Louth, Gent, (near Drogheda), when he made his
will in 1760.
27. Edward^ Bolton {Richard', Nicholas^, Sir Edward^ Sir
Richard*, John^, James', Roger^) was born about 1695. ^^
was reported i Dec. 17 19 as already married to Wilhelmina
Letitia, daughter of Robert, Viscount Molesworth. " Ned
Bolton " made so many improvements at Brazeel, such as open-
ing springs in his hillside, that Lord Molesworth grew impa-
tient, and wrote to Lady Molesworth : " Let him make Brazeel
a wilderness if he pleases." In another letter he wrote that
some way must be found " to take down this young man in his
high shoes." In 1723 he was sheriff of County Dublin, and in
1727 M.P. for Swords. He died 5 Aug. 1758 and was buried
at Swords near Dublin. His will, dated 31 May, 1758, was
proved 11 May, 1759.

28. Thomas* Bolton ( Thomas'', Nicholas^, Thomas^, Sir
Richard*, John^, James-, Roger^) was born about 1708. Per-
haps the Thomas who married in 1734 Alicia Forster (called
Knilton in Burke) of Dunleer, County Louth, spinster (he. 3
March, 1734), who died 2 Jan. 1798 in Berkeley Square, Lon-
don. He was a scholar at the Cathedral School, Dublin, in
1720, and if the Thomas son of Thomas, Generosus, he was
born in County Tyrone, and entered Dublin University 1721/22,
aged 16. He lived at Knock, County Louth, in 1734, and died as
" Thomas Bolton Esq. of Dublin " in 1741 (admin. 16 Oct.).
His widow, Alice of Dublin, was the administratrix, and the
two children were mentioned by name. Lodge's Peerage calls
him " Councillor Thomas."
Children:
40. i. Theophilus®, born about 1736. He was of
Grange in 1773 when he died at Genoa unmarried (admin.
1 1 Dec. 1773). His sister was the administratrix, appointed

Official Pedigree) Page. He was a church warden in Dromiskin
in 1765, 1770-73, and died 17 Sept. 1779. Lodge's Peerage
says that he married Catherine, daughter of Hugh Massey.
Children:
41. i. Theophilus®, born about 1737. Died unmarried.
42. ii. John, born 1753.
43. iii. Chichester, born about 1742. Possibly the
Chichester who married at St. Anne's, Dublin (lie. 28 April,

County Down. He died without issue in 1783.
iv. Sydney, born in 1744. Married 1771 Charles

See Burke's Landed Gentry, 9th ed. 1898, vol. 2.
31. Charles^ Bolton {Anthony'', Nicholas'', Thomas'% Sir
Richard*, John^, lames'^, Roger^) was born perhaps about
1720. According to Burke's Family Records, 1897, page 83,
he married Sydney, daughter of Thomas Bolton of Knock,
County Louth (No. 20). This is evidently an error. He was
of Dundalk, Gent., and married at St. Michan's, Dublin (lie.
26 Nov. 1771 ), Sydney, daughter of Richard Bolton (No. 30)
of Dromiskin, born in 1744. The marriage settlements were

44. i. Richard, born 1772. Farmer of Castle Ring.
45. ii. John (mayor of Louth in 1806?).

THE BOLTONS OF COUNTY WEXFORD
THE BOLTONS OF WEXFORD
ALTHOUGH this family appears in Burke's Landed
f-^k Gentry of Ireland, 1899 and 19 12, the pedigree is
'*- -^ little more than an outline. Attempts to get details
have been successful only in part. Authorities at Harrow School
were unable to learn the history of William Gordon Bolton
(No. 38). William Bolton (No. 18) and wife are pictured in
Dorothea Herbert's Retrospections (1929).
" Island House," the home of the Boltons, is two miles
west of the small village of Kilmuckridge, and ten miles from
Enniscorthy which is in the centre of the county, on the River
Slaney.
Beaumaris, whence came the Wexford Boltons, is eighty
miles west of Liverpool. Long before Liverpool grew to im-
portance families of Bolton lived in the vicinity at Childwall
and West Derby. They were influential and built a Hall, part of
which is preserved in a museum in Liverpool. In 1609 Richard
and William Bolton were pew-owners in Childwall, now a sub-
urb of Liverpool, and Humphrey, who married Janeta Lee in
1603, had a pew at Little Woolton, four miles south of Child-
wall. Henry Bolton in 1609 was church warden at Childwall.
These names are significant.
In May, 191 2, G. LI. Bolton of Curragh Camp copied a
pedigree from the " Irish Record Office " which is referred to
here as "Wright's Notes"; Rev. W. Ball Wright in 1887
made researches.
The church registers were removed from Ballinastraw to
the Four Courts, Dublin, for greater safety, but were burned
there in 1922.

It was his wife perhaps who as Jonett Bolton proved the will
of her mother Anne, widow of Thomas Williams of Beaumaris,
15 July, 1650. Richard probated the will of Arthur Williams

THE BOLTONS OF COUNTY WATERFORD
THE BOLTONS
OF COUNTY WATERFORD, IRELAND
THE parentage of Major Francis Bolton, Captain
William Bolton, and Captain Thomas Bolton of
Waterford has never been given in Burke's Landed
Gentry of Ireland. Dugdale, however, stated that they were
sons of William Bolton, living at Ripon in the time of King
James I, and of Henrietta Barton ; grandsons of Thomas Bolton
of Doncaster and his wife, a daughter of Henry Morton of
Tickhill, near Bawtry. There is no evidence that the statement
is true. The only person of the name in Ireland who could
have been their father (if their father lived there) is the Rev.
William Bolton, Dean of Ross in Cork, the adjoining county to
Waterford. The Dean was ordained at Peterborough, Eng-
land, 20 March, 1602, when he is referred to as a man from
Magdalen College, Oxford. This William of Oxford came up
from Warwickshire in 1585 and was a chorister in 1585-89.
He was aged 12 in 1585 and therefore was born about 1573.
The beautiful countryside between Worcester in the county
of that name and Warwick to the eastward is famous as the
" Shakespeare country." Here lived the Pritties, the Foleys,
the Boltons, the Beaumonts, the Knightleys, and others like the
Shakespeares who were even better known. At this time Peter
Bolton, of county rank, was living at Warwick; Rev. William
Bolton (with wife Mary), probably a brother, was at Beau-
desert, between Worcester and Warwick, both sons it is sup-
posed of William Bolton, lord of the manor of Little Bolton
in Lancashire. The rector of Beaudesert (which village with
Warwick and Stratford-on-Avon forms a triangle) had been
rector of Berkswell, County Warwick, 1570-73, of St. Mary's
Warwick, 1572-73, of WoottonWawen, 1579-80, and of Beau-
desert from 1573 to the day of his death in 1580. He was a

Master of Arts and a " Professor of Sacred Theology." His
will is missing, but it is reasonable to suppose that William,
Dean of Ross, was his son/ If Captain William Bolton was the
Beaudesert rector's grandson it would show why Colonel Henry
Prittie took all three Boltons — Francis, William, and Thomas
— into his regiment in Ireland, for Prittie married a Wor-
cestershire girl and probably came from the Shakespeare
country himself. Captain Bolton later married Colonel Prit-
tie's daughter, and may have been connected by other family
ties.
I. The Rev. William^ Bolton of Warwickshire became
treasurer of Ross, County Cork (not far from Waterford)
24 Feb. 16 14/5, and was rural vicar of Creagh and Miros,
1614-1638. He had been ordained 20 March, 1602, by Dr.
Thomas Dove, the Bishop of Peterborough, and in the record
it is stated that he was from Magdalen College, Oxford. Mr.
Bolton was probably the William Bolton, a land owner in
County Cork recorded in 161 7, and became Prebend of Desert-
more in the Cathedral of Cork from 1619 to 1627. He con-
tinued as treasurer of Ross until 1631, became Vicar Choral
also, and was instituted Dean of St. Fachtnas's Cathedral
Church, Ross, 8 Jan. 1630/31. The Royal Visitors on a cer-
tain occasion in 1634 pronounced him " an auncient and paineful
preacher." His successor as Dean was chosen 12 Sept. 1638,
when he was presumably dead. Nothing is known of his chil-
dren, but as the Rev. Henry Bolton, a student at Dublin in
1623, would naturally as a boy have a father in Ireland, the
Dean seems the most likely candidate. Indeed I can find no
^Possible brothers of the Dean of Ross were: Lawrence Bolton, Lord of the
Manor of Grandboro, County Warwick, 1612; in General Conway's troop in Ire-
land, 1613 ; married Anne, daughter of Edward Knightley; and Richard Bolton,
who married Ursula Knightley. Lawrence's son Edmund married Mary Newdigate,
whose aunt Mary Fitton was perhaps Shakespeare's " Dark Lady." See Miscel-
lanea Genealogica et Heraldica, June, 1934-

section of Ireland who may well have been his children are :
2. i. Rev. Henry', born about 1608. Of Ratoath,
County Meath and Corbally, County Waterford.
3. ii. Major Francis, born about 1 6 10. Of Colonel
Prittie's regiment. Descendants in County Tipperary.

Meath.
Note : One of these men is by tradition the ancestor or kins-
man of the Boltons of the Bann valley. North Ireland.
2. The Rev. Henry- Bolton {Rev. William^) was born
about 1608. He received his B.A. at Dublin in 1625, and was
vicar at Ratoath, County Meath. He was also prebendary of
Corbally, County Waterford, from 14 Dec. 1636. In 1661
Joshua Boyle said of Corbally: " It belongs to my friend Mr.
Henry Bolton: the tythes are worth £20 yearly." He died
vicar of Ratoath and intestate in 1675 (admin, granted 21
March), leaving a widow Katherine.
Children:
8. i. JoHN^ born 1655. Dean of Derry.
9. ii. Thomas, born about 1658. The Lord Mayor of
Dublin in 1717.
54] BOLTON FAMILIES IN IRELAND
3. Francis- Bolton {Rev. WilUam^) born perhaps about
1610. His wife may have been a member of the Barnes family
of Hadleigh and West Ham in Essex. See Muskett's Suffolk
Manorial Families. R. Dunlop in his Ireland under Cromwell
(vol. 2, p. 360) describes Major Bolton as a " brave and dili-
gent officer " who aided in the capture of Ballinasloe Castle in
1 65 1. He was a strong parliamentarian and was sent with his
troop of horse to Londonderry. He appears occasionally from
1653 to 1657 on the records of Templemore Cathedral at
Londonderry as a witness at weddings. In 1659 he was sent
to England with the Irish brigade. The vessel foundered and
he, with other officers and men, was drowned. If his widow
received land in Tipperary as compensation for her husband's
services, or if she joined her father in Cashel, the following
may have been his issue.
Children:
10. i. Francis^, born about 1650.
11. ii. Stephen, born about 1653.
12. iii. Thomas, born about 1660.
13. iv. John, born about 1655. He was a soldier at
Kilkenny in Capt. Josias Haydocke's Company in 1681,
and is called a trader. In 1675 ^ John " Gent " and Honor
(Prittie?) had a daughter Grace baptized in Dublin.
A John of Waterford's will was probated in 1687.
14. V. Edward, born about 1657. This Edward was a
soldier of Kilkenny in Capt. Joshua Helsham's company in
1690. An Edward married Ann Holmes at St. Anne's in
Dublin 4 Nov. 1686.

BOLTON FAMILIES IN IRELAND [55
4. William^ Bolton {Rev. William^) was born In 1613. A
soldier in Cromwell's army, he was chosen by lot on Friday,
20 April, 1649, by Cromwell himself to go to Ireland. When
Waterford had surrendered to the Parliamentary army, Faith-
legg (or Fatlock) castle, with its estate of 827 acres, was owned
by John Aylward, a Roman Catholic friend of Cromwell, who
offered to let Aylward retain his property, provided he would
outwardly conform to the religion and politics of the conquer-
ing host. Through Mrs. Aylward's influence he was persuaded
to refuse the offer. Captain Bolton was then sent to storm the
castle in October and took it.
Faithlegg is five miles down the Suir from Waterford, on
the inside of a bend in the river and on a hill, overlooking the
Nore and Barrow, two streams which join the Suir at this
point on the outer side of the bend. The view is very fine. In
1655 or 1656 it was decreed that the men of Captain Bolton's
company in Colonel Prittie's regiment were to be " satisfied "
(for arrears of pay) with lands in Tipperary and Waterford.
By various means officers got control of these " rights " of
their men. In any case the Captain secured Faithlegg as a
Cromwellian, and had this estate and a grant of 2,834 acres
" in the Barony of Gaultier in County Waterford " confirmed
to him by King Charles II on 19 May, 1666.
He was mayor of Waterford in 1662, and showed himself
a forceful but contentious politician. In 1665 he was lodging
by the Castle Gate in far-away Barbados, where on 6 Febru-
ary he wrote a letter to his friend Sir George Lane (Ormonde
MSS., new series, volume 3, page 205) to plead for help, as
he was a fugitive, branded as a murderer, having suffered in-
dignities before his escape from Ireland, unable now to hope
for justice, and deprived of his wife and children. He seems to
have won the ear of the King, for he was back the next year
with a confirmation of his estates. In 1 669 he was elected mayor
of Waterford and raised a storm by refusing to appear before
the Council. He retired to the country and in September was
56] BOLTON FAMILIES IN IRELAND
fined £20 (Downey's Story of fVaterford) . He was suspended
from his office of alderman, 26 Feb. 1668/9, for saying that
the mayor and council had ruined the city. The council accused
him of trying to overturn the government, and destroy the
liberties and privileges of the city.
He was a fanatic, and as far back as Cromwell's time had
preached in the pulpit of the Cathedral where he shocked the
reverent by appearing in his " jack-boots."
Captain Bolton married about 1655, Abigail, daughter of
Col. Henry Prittie, High Sheriff of County Carlow, 1650, and
of Tipperary, 1659, ancestor of Baron Dunalley. He died in
1704, Mrs. Bolton was living in 1681 when she was plaintiff
versus Henry Bolton in a House of Lords appeal from the
Exchequer in Ireland. Her will was probated in 1709.
Children:
15. i. Cornelius", born in 1656.
16. ii. Charles, born 1658.
17. ( ?) iii. Hugh. Called in Burke's Landed Gentry the
Dean of Waterford, but as the Dean was born about 1682
he was probably the son of William, No. 22, Probably he
was a lieutenant at time of death in 1705.
18. iv. Daniel, born about 1660. Died 1737.
1 8a. V. Henry, born about 1660.
19. vi. Michael, born about 1663.
vii. Catherine, born about 1668. Married John
Hawkins, Ulster King-of-arms.
5. Thomas- Bolton {Rev. JVilUam^) was born about 161 5.
His wife was Elizabeth to whom he refers in a will written by
his own hand as his " dearly beloved wife." He was an Alder-
man of Waterford, and Mayor in 1671. On 11 Feb. 1673,
he asked the Council for 40 shillings for hire of a horse ridden
in city business. The request was refused, perhaps as a result
of party strife. His excellent will, dated 21 Aug. 1682, gives
an impression of the man, kindly, religious, and successful,
BOLTON FAMILIES IN IRELAND [57
probably less erratic than his brother William. He wished to
be buried in John's Abbey in Waterford, near his deceased son
Benjamin. His signet went to his son Thomas. He wrote the
will " but afterwards ye sd Thom. was grown more weak and
not able to write his name." It is printed in Miscel. Geneal. et
Heraldica, New Series, vol. 2, p. 133. Seal has on a bend be-
tween 2 fleurs-de-lis 3 leopard faces. Crest: a stag's head hold-
ing an arrow.
Children:
20. i. Thomas^ born in 1654.
21. ii. Benjamin, born about 1656. Died early, and
buried in John's Abbey. Mentioned In his father's will.
Hi. Elizabeth, born about 1658. Her father in his
will says: " I beseech [my Trustees] to take care of my
poore crippled girle."
22. iv. William, born about 1660.
23. V. Benjamin, born about 1662.
6. Charles- Bolton {Rev. WiUiam^) was born about 161 8.
He had a stone house In 1641 at Brantry wood near Caledon,
County Tyrone. (Lord E. Hamilton's /n'^/i i?^/?^//io«, p. 271.)
He seems to have lived in Dublin, in County Down and In
County Westmeath. In the 1642 muster rolls for Northern
areas he appears as Captain in a regiment controlled by the
Chichester family.
Children:
I. Elinor, burled at St. John's, Dublin, 26 Aug.
1642.
24. ii. John, born in 1658 In County Down. Entered
Dublin University In 1683 as the son of Charles.
Perhaps the " Captain John " of Dublin, mentioned by
Charles (No. 16) In his will In 1718.
25. Hi. William, born in 1664 in County Westmeath.
Entered Dublin University in 1683 as the son of Charles.
58] BOLTON FAMILIES IN IRELAND
7. Samuel^ Bolton {Rev. JVilliam^) was born perhaps
about 1620. He was a land owner in Cork in 1681 when he is
referred to as " Gent." Perhaps he held lands owned in 161 7
by William Bolton who is here supposed to be his father.
8. Rev. John^ Bolton {Rev. Henry\ Rev. William^) was
born in 1655. He entered Dublin University in 167 1/2, aged
about 16. He was ordained a priest 23 Dec. 1677, ^^'^ Per-
haps soon after became the minister at Ratoath, County Meath,
the Rev. Henry Bolton, vicar there, having died in 1675. On
22 Oct. 1684, he had license to marry Dorcas Tomlinson of
Drogheda, and at St. Michan's the next year their daughter
Catherine was baptized 23 September, he being recorded at
the time as minister of Ratoath. St. Michan's was then a
fashionable Dublin church. Mr. Bolton became an M.A., and
on 7 Feb. 1690/91 he was collated a prebendary of Dunlavin
(St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin). On 25 Sept. 1700, he was
instituted Dean of Derry, and was installed 16 October. Here
he remained until his death. His will was dated 29 May, 1721,
and proved 15 Feb. 1723/4. He leaves to his son Thomas his
estate in Aughton near Ormskirk (Query: from his mother?),
part of his Freehold estate in the Barony of Dunboy, County
Meath, purchased from Nicholas Punkett, lands in Ratoath
with " all right to the advowson and presentation to the vicar-
age of Ratoath," and several other tracts of land. To his son
Richard he leaves a lease of the town and lands of Little
Lagore, County Meath, with other property. To his son
Joseph 26 acres in Crackanstown, County Meath; likewise all
benefit of a mortgage made to him by Alderman Thomas
Bolton of Dublin of several houses, etc., on the Blind Key. He
also provides for his daughter Elizabeth, then a minor. To
Joseph he leaves a house in Ship Key Street, Londonderry, and
*' two thirds of what money he laid out in building a new Dean's
House in Bishop's Gate Street adjoining the churchyard of
Londonderry." It appears to have been sworn to at Dublin.

(license 10 Nov. 1692). Also he was probably the alderman
in 1704 and Lord Mayor in April, 17 17. He or another Thomas
had many business dealings with John Bolton, Dean of Derry,
and is mentioned, 1 721, in the Dean's will as alderman of Dub-
lin. The goldsmith died in 1736 (admin. 20 Feb.), leaving as ad-

ministrator his son, Rev. John Bolton, clerk. A Dublin maga-
zine says: " 1736 Dec. On Sunday last in the Four Courts,
Marshalsea, Thomas Bolton, formerly an alderman." A large,
handsome silver tankard made by him was recently offered for
sale in Boston, U. S. A.^
Children:
i. John*, born at Dublin in 1707. Entered Dublin
University in 1723, aged 16, as the son of Thomas Bolton,
Aurifex. B.A. 1728.
( ?) ii. Thomas, born about 17 10. Of St. James, Dublin,
merchant, when he married Elizabeth Cope of St. Mary's,
Dublin (license 12 May, 1736).
ID. Francis^ Bolton {Francis-, Rev. William^) was born
about 1650. It would appear that after the death of his father,
Major Bolton, in 1659, by drowning, the family moved to the
vicinity of Cashel in Tipperary. There he married, about 1675,
Mary (Burke says Margaret), daughter of Colonel Richard
' The following notes are taken from an article about Thomas Bolton, by
Kathryn Clark, in the Bulletin of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, for April, 1930:
A magnificent silver cup, made by Thomas Bolton of Dublin in 1693-1695, has
been given to the Museum by Mr. Richard C. Paine.
In 1686 Bolton was made a Freeman of the Dublin Goldsmiths' Company, and
from then until 171 8 there are recorded many jouths, among them the sons of a
clerk, a victualler, a clothier and a girdler, apprenticed to him. In 1690, on
Michaelmas Day, he was chosen to be one of the four Wardens of the Company,
to assume his responsibilities on St. Andrew's Day. The following year he was
again elected a Warden, and in 1692 he was made Master.
From 1692 to 1697, Thomas Bolton was the assay-master, and an entry of
February 9, 1694, records that "Thomas Bolton, Assay Master, to charge i d.
per oz. and to be charged 1/2 d. per oz. for assaying his own plate " — whence
we may reckon the charge to him for stamping the crowned harp on this cup.
The cup, described as " one of the finest known examples of Irish plate," shows,
in form, the transition between the straight-sided porringers of the period of
Charles II, defined in 1728 as " a small deep dish for liquid things," and the large
two-handled cups made with and without covers during the reign of Queen Anne.
The hall-marks — an Old English K and a script TB conjoined, in shield-
shaped punches, and the crowned harp — are on the cover and the bottom of the
cup. Also on the bottom of the cup its weight was engraved by the maker — 95
oz., which, after more than two hundred years, is now 93 oz. 10 dwt. The cup
is n;4 inches high and 13 5^ inches wide across the handles.
A pair of candlesticks, recently purchased by the Museum, were made by
Thomas Bolton in 173 1, five years before his death.

Lehunte of Cashel, High Sheriff, 1657, and M.P. in 1661. He
settled at Coudeny and died before 1683 when his widow as
" Mary Bolton alias Lehunte," acting for Richard Bolton,
engaged in a lawsuit. The next year she was again in the
Courts. (6th report Deputy Keeper of the Public Records.)
She belonged to a distinguished family in Suffolk, With the
coming of Catholic rule under James, her estate, yielding a
yearly income of £117, was " sequestered " and she, a widow,
with three children, had fled the kingdom. (Dwyer's Killaloe,
P-395-)
Children:
29. i. Richard*, born in 1680.
30. ii. John, born about 1683, Possibly not his son.
iii. A Third Child, living in 1689. (Mary, widow
of Mr. Graves in 1740? Admin, of Rev. Thos. ?)
11. Stephen^ Bolton {Francis-, Rev. JVilliam^) was born
perhaps about 1653. He married Jane, who was administratrix
in 1736 (admin. 23 Sept.). His will was proved in 1735, but
is probably now destroyed. He had, however, died before 1733
when her will as a widow was recorded.
12. Thomas^ Bolton {Francis-, Rev. William^) was born
about 1660. He was appointed master of the Free School at
Clonmelin 1708, and prebend of Seskenan, Diocese of Lismore,
15 Jan. 1 72 1. In 17 1 2 Thomas Bolton, clerk, was a defendant
with Richard Bolton, Gent., and the Hamertons in a lawsuit
over land in Clonmel. He is perhaps the clergyman of Knock-
lofty, Tipperary, who died intestate (admin. 25 July, 1740)-
Administrators: Joseph Tinson of Cooleany, County Tip-
perary, Gent.; Mary Graves of Clonmel, said County, widow;
and Elizabeth Moland, Dublin, spinster, nephews and nieces.
Note : He may have belonged to the next generation.
15. Cornelius^ Bolton {William-, Rev. William^) was born
in County Waterford in 1656, studied at Mr. Andrew Coulter's
62] BOLTON FAMILIES IN IRELAND
school, Waterford, and entered Dublin University 19 May,
1674, at the age of 17. In 1678 (license 19 July) he married
at St. Michan's, Dublin, Penelope Pilkington, only child of
Stephen Pilkington of Dublin. He was attainted by King
James's Parliament in 1689. Captain Bolton was in Colonel
Collingwood's regiment of foot at Ghent when " it pleased
God to upsett him with sickness." The will was signed 5 Nov.
1697, at Ghent, and proved 10 Oct. 1699. He left three chil-
dren. Richard Bolton, who witnessed his will in 1697, would
have been if a son only fifteen at the most. Penelope Bolton's
will was proved in 1722, she then living in Dublin.
Children:
31. i. Henry*, baptized at St. Michan's, Dublin, 28
April, 1 679. Received one shilling in Charles's will of 1 7 1 8.
ii. Penelope, baptized at St. Michan's, 20 April,
1680. Buried 30 Aug. 1 68 1.
iii. Abigail, born 1681. Buried at St. Michan's,
Dublin, 6 Aug. 168 1.
32. iv. Stephen, baptized 20 April (July in Irish Record
Office) , 1 682, at St. Michan's. Rev. W. Ball Wright in 1 887
said that he married Jane, daughter of Peter Lightbourne
of Clonmel. Received one shilling in Charles's will of 1 7 1 8.
Perhaps this Stephen also married at St. Anne's, Dublin,
23 Sept. 1709, Margaret Luntley of Lazar's Hill, probably
near Cashel. He was late of Dublin in 17 15, and " grand-
son of William Bolton, late of Faithleg " when he granted
for £115 to WiUiam Bolton of Killure, Barony of Gaultier,
County Waterford (No. 33), his interest in the Estate of
Faithlegg.
V. Lettuce, baptized at St. Michan's, 5 Nov. 1683.
vi. Elizabeth; married John Power of Dublin
(Wright).
16. Charles^ Bolton {WilUam^, Rev. William^) was born
about 1658, and served as sheriff of Waterford in 1700. His
BOLTON FAMILIES IN IRELAND [63
will, dated 22 May, 17 18, and proved in 1722, left his " ex-
tensive estates " to Captain William Bolton (No. 33), son of
his cousin Thomas, the Recorder of Waterford. Charles's
nephew Henry's marriage displeased the family circle, and
Mrs. Cornelius Bolton, Henry's mother, who died in 1722 a
widow, may have left the estates to her husband's brother
Charles, who died the same year. Charles married but left no
children. His wife may have been a sister of Edward May of
Mayfield, County Waterford, since Charles calls Edward's
son, James May, " the right heir of said Charles Bolton."
18. Daniel^ Bolton {IViUiam-, Rev. William^) was born
about 1660. He is said to have died in August, 1737. Received
one shilling in Charles's will.
19. Michael^ Bolton {WilUam'', Rev. Williaw}) was born
about 1663. He is possibly the man who married at Dublin,
2 Nov. 1709, Ann Allnut, widow, and died in 1715. He is re-
ferred to in a House of Lords appeal, 1714.xx.43, as Michael
Bolton of Ireland. He owned land in the City of Kilkenny,
1712. Children referred to in Charles's will, 1722.
20. Thomas^ Bolton {Thomas^, Rev. William}) was born
about 1654 at Waterford, studied under Mr. Woods, and
entered Dublin University in 1667, aged 13. He was appointed
Recorder of Waterford in place of Sir R. Stephens, 13 Jan.
1682. Little is known of him. His father settled on him an
estate called Ballyrobbin, and gave him eventually the dwell-
ing house. He may have been the Thomas Bolton, Gent., of
Dublin whose will, proved i July, 17 17, mentions his brother
William with £300, his daughter Anne with £100, his adopted
daughter, Tamasin or Mary, £50, and his grandson, Thomas
Bolton, £30. Dead in 17 18.
Children:
i. Anne, born about 1678. Living 1717. Men-
tioned in her uncle Benjamin's will.
64] BOLTON FAMILIES IN IRELAND
33. ii. William*, born about 1680; of Rathlogan,
County Kilkenny. A Charles of Springfield, Kilkenny, was
a freeman of Waterford in 1788.
iii. Richard, " 2d Son," mentioned in his uncle Ben-
jamin's will, 1699.
34. iv. Thomas, mentioned in his uncle Benjamin's (No.
23) will, 1699. In college at that time.
V. Elizabeth, mentioned by her uncle Benjamin,
vi. Sarah, mentioned by her uncle Benjamin.
22. William^ Bolton {Thomas-, Rev. William,^) was born
about 1660. He is generously mentioned in his father's will,
with one-third the household goods, and an interest in leases,
etc., in Waterford where he lived. Judging from the date of
birth (aged 17 in 1 699-1 700), Hugh, Dean of Waterford,
must have been the son of this William, and not of Captain
William (No. 4), as given in Burke. Perhaps this William's
will was in 1725, and Lucy's 1729 that of his wife.
Probable children:
34a. (?) i. Hugh, born about 1682. William's oldest
son was mentioned in Benjamin's will, but not by name.
34b. (?) ii. William. Will of a William of Waterford
with property in city and county signed 6 Nov. 1763, men-
tions Shapland Carew trustee for daughter Jane St. Clare,
with son William Bolton St. Clare, his son William, and a
grandson who received two swords, a case of pistols and a
silver watch. (Wright papers.)
(?) iii. Daughter; married a Shawe of Ballyneale.
( ?) iv. Daughter; married a Carleton. See No. 23.
23. Benjamin^ Bolton ( Thomas-, Rev. William^) was born
about 1662. He was a ship-builder in Waterford, a sheriff in
1690, and alderman. His will was proved in 1699. He was an
executor of his father's will and received by it the Corner house,
tanyard and garden, with the lease of Island-Tarsney in the
BOLTON FAMILIES IN IRELAND [65
parish of Islandikane. His own will, in which he is called
Alderman of Waterford, asks that he be buried in St. John's
Church where his father lies. He leaves to his wife (perhaps
a Hamilton) £100 per annum; to his three young children,
Benjamin, Elizabeth, and Anne, £500 each; to his son Benja-
min his tan house, the fish house, and the ground which he pur-
chased from Alderman Thomas Smyth, also his malt house and
the garden behind it. He remembers Thomas, son of his
brother Thomas Bolton, Richard, second son of Thomas, and
Elizabeth, Sarah and Anne, Thomas's daughters. To his
cousin (nephew?), Thomas Bolton, now in college, £5 per
annum. He mentions also his " 3 cos: Shaws at Ballyneale "
who are to be paid " out of my br. Hamilton's Estate £600; "
also his " Coz. Phill: Carleton," and " My Sister Bolton."
Children:
i. Elizabeth.
ii. Anne.
34c. iii. Benjamin, born 1698, at Waterford, where he
studied with Rev. John Fell and entered Dublin University
9 July, 1 7 13, aged 15, as son of Benjamin, Generosus.
26. Dr. Thomas* Bolton {Rev. John^, Rev. Henry-, Rev.
fVilliam^) was born at Dublin in 1692. He entered Dublin
University in 1707 at the age of 16, as son of John, Clericus.
He is probably the person who entered Leyden University
31 Jan. 17 15, and became an M.B. and an M.D. Dr. Bolton
settled at Lagore, County Meath. He and his brother Joseph
were respondents in 1731 in a House of Lords appeal (xxiii.
6^6). He died without issue, leaving a will signed 24 Feb.
1762. The lands of Laughbracken, County Meath, he left in
trust for his nephew, Thomas Norman; the lands near Dun-
boyne and in Clonee, County Meath, to his nephew, Joshua
Warren of Galtrim of the same county; £50 to his sister,
Elizabeth Rogers ; £100 to his niece Elinor (Warren) Powell's
son, William Powell ; £100 to Catherine, daughter of Frederick
66] BOLTON FAMILIES IN IRELAND
Norman, and except for minor bequests all his remaining
property to his nephew, Rev. Thomas Norman. The Doctor's
sisters, Frances Warren and Elizabeth Rogers, fought the will
in the courts.
27. Rev. Richard* Bolton {Rev. John^, Rev. Henry^, Rev.
JVilliaw}) was born about 1695. His lands were at Little
Lagore, County Meath. He may be the Richard who married
Mary Pepper of Ballygarth, County Meath, in 175 1. His will
was proved in 1761, but unfortunately was not copied.
28. Joseph* Bolton {Rev. John^, Rev. Henry"^, Rev. Wil-
liam^) was born about 1698. He received from his father a
house in Ship Key, Londonderry, and in 1728 he was living at
Lagore, County Meath. His will was proved in 1737. Dean
Bolton refers to Joseph's children but not by name.
Child:
35. i. WILLIAM^ born 1725 in County Derry. He entered
Dublin University in 1741, aged 16, as son of Joseph Bol-
ton, armiger. The Dean's land in Aughton, Lancashire,
went to Dr. Thomas Bolton in 1724. About the year 1800
Richard Bolton of Harrock Hall, Aughton, is recorded in
the Landed Gentry ; he was patron of the living there.
29. Richard* Bolton {Francis^, Francis^, Rev. William^)

was born in 1679. He married in 17 13, Elizabeth, daughter of
BOLTON FAMILIES IN IRELAND [67
Benjamin Alcock, and sister of Nathaniel Alcock of the city of
Kilkenny, an alliance which greatly displeased his family. He
was killed in 1723, it is supposed, by a fall from his horse over
the cliffs at Parkswood, but the estate of " Henry of Fattleg,
County Waterford, Gent." intestate, was entered 4 Nov. 1726.
His sudden disappearance caused a long and bitter lawsuit.
She married, second, Edward Lee, Recorder of Waterford.
Child:
37. i. Cornelius^ born in 1714.
23. William* Bolton {Thomas^, Thomas^, Rev. William^)
was born about 1680. On or before 17 15 this William Bolton
of Killeullen or Killure, Barony of Gaultier, County Water-
ford, purchased from Stephen Bolton, Gent, of Dublin, the
estate of Faithlegg, or his right in it, which had been granted
by King Charles II to Stephen's grandfather. This William
paid £115 for the estate. (Memorandum dated 171 5 and
registered 17 19 in the Registry of Deeds Office.) This Cap-
tain William Bolton was in Colonel Edward May's troop of
Dragoons. His wife was Hannah who was buried 24 Dec.
1758. He died 12 March, 1750. His estates then went to
Rev. Hugh Bolton (No. 34a.) for life.

Jurisconsultus, and graduated in 1702. While in college his
68} BOLTON FAMILIES IN IRELAND

1722/3, and also held the rectory of Knockgraffon, Diocese of
Cashel. He owned lands at Ballycanvan, six miles below
Waterford on the River Suir, owned later by his brother
Cornelius's descendants. He had a life use of the Faithlegg
estates inherited from his cousin, Captain William (No. 2>2) >
grandson of Captain Thomas Bolton, mayor of Waterford.
The Dean died 23 Dec. 1758, and was buried in the Cathedral.
His estates went to John (No. 38).

daughter of Francis Barker of Grantstown, near Waterford.
He was sheriff of Waterford in 1738, and mayor in 1743 and

with his wife in Faithlegg church. In 1747 he acquired lands
on the River Suir for 99 years, and later much more at Bally-
canvan, six miles below Waterford. His estate of 1200 acres
extended all the way from Ballycanvan to Faithlegg Hill, which
is S.E. of Waterford in the bend where the Nore and Barrow
join the Suir. In 1751 he introduced turnip culture for sheep;
and at the village of Cheek-point he tried unsuccessfully a cot-
ton mill. At Faithlegg the famous Arthur Young visited him
in 1776, and in his Tour in Ireland (vol. i, page 406) Young
gives a delightful account of the place and its economic sig-
nificance. He speaks of Mr. Bolton's humane treatment of his
tenantry. Mrs. Elizabeth Bolton was born in 1723 and died

THE BOLTONS OF ULSTER
THE BOLTONS OF ULSTER
MAJOR FRANCIS BOLTON was in command of a
Cromwellian troop of horse in Londonderry between
1652 and 1657. While there he was occasionally a
witness at the wedding of a member of his company. A trooper
under his command at the time was Thomas Bolton, whose
burial in 1684 is on the Cathedral records, where he is accorded
the title " Mr.," a distinction granted only to mayors, burgesses,
professional men, and others of their rank. Thomas may well
have been a kinsman of the Major's and for that reason set
down as " Mr. Thomas Bolton, trooper." He was, apparently,
an Episcopalian; and the Boltons of the Bann valley, here as-
sumed to be his descendants, were usually of that faith; their
names do not appear in the synod or presbytery records for
that section of Ulster.
Dr. Sloan Bolton of Portrush, North Ireland, son of Dr.
Samuel J. Bolton of Aghadowey, says that his aunt repeated a
family tradition that one of several brothers — a Cromwellian
officer — settled in the south of Ireland, and that another (his
ancestor) settled at Lismoyle, County Derry, having had a
choice of either half of the lands between Coleraine and Kilrea.
This seems to connect the Ulster Boltons with those of County
Waterford where Major Francis Bolton and his brothers.
Captain William and Captain Thomas, were officers in Crom-
well's army.
Sam Henry, Esq., of Coleraine, writes:
" The original homestead of the Boltons is now a ruin. It
was a stone house roofed with thatch. The wallsteads are still
standing. The site was determined by the available building
stone from ' The Tod Rock ' close by. The homestead was
close to the ancient fort which was triple ringed and had a moat
between the inner and second rings.
" Lismoyle means, lis: an earthen fort, moyle: bald, a bald
75
76] BOLTON FAMILIES IN IRELAND
fort. The views from it are very fine, commanding the Carn-
togher Mountains towards the west and the great ridge of
Antrim in the east over the Bann valley. The land is fair but
inclines to be heavy. The entire townland of Lismoyle (925
acres) and also Ballynian (537 acres) all belonged to the
Boltons. They are in the parish of Tamlaght O'Crilly (' the
plague graveyard of the O'Crillys '). The Bolton settlers in
the townland of Dullaghy (' the little hills '), parish of Desert-
oghill. County Londonderry, have disappeared."
The records relating to Ulster are very meagre and un-
satisfactory. Patent Rolls of James I, and "Adjudications in
Favour of the 1649 officers," have been searched. A muster
roll of Ulster for 1630 still exists. Subsidy rolls for 1664-68
were searched, and Hearth Money or Chimney Tax Rolls for
1663-69. In 1740 and 1766 records of Protestant householders
were made; that for 1740 is an invaluable compilation, but not
helpful in determining relationships. There is a poll book for
1806 and a census for 1821, with much genealogical detail; also
Freehold Registers for the early years of the same century.
The files of marriage licenses, deeds, and wills kept in Dublin
have been destroyed, but not before Mrs. A. S. Wilkinson and
Miss Gertrude O'Farrell had copied Bolton marriages for
1 630-1 857, and also several deeds and wills of which the sub-
stance has been incorporated in these pages. Church records
are fragmentary and have not been helpful.
From such materials the following pedigree has been
evolved. Much of it is frankly guess-work, based on a scrutiny
of probabilities. The difficulties in each case are stated. Al-
though the Ulster Boltons began with a grant of land they were
not included in Burke's Landed Gentry. This explains why
there is no sure outhne to build around.
I am indebted to Sam Henry, Esq., F.R.S.A.I., of Coleraine,
for much information, and for pictures obtained by him during
calls upon members of the family in the Bann valley. Some of
these kinsmen I met in Coleraine and Portrush.

BOLTON FAMILIES IN IRELAND [77
'* Mr. Thomas' Bolton, trooper," whether or not related
to Major Francis Bolton of the County Waterford family, in
whose troop of horse he served at Londonderry, was perhaps
the father of three men in County Derry and County Antrim
who appear a generation later in the records:
2. i. Thomas-, born about 1645.
3. ii. James-, born about 1650.
iii. William^, born about 1652. He was a sergeant in
the British army, stationed at Londonderry, when he was
recorded at Templemore Cathedral as buried i Nov. 1684.
2. Thomas- Bolton (Thomas^), born probably about 1645,
is mentioned in the Hearth Money Roll for County Antrim in
1 666 as of Toome, and in 1 669 as of Slievenagh. Upper Toome
adjoins Lough Beg on the east. Lower Toome, containing the
village of Slievenagh in the Parish of Portglenone, is just north,
on the right bank of the River Bann. The Boltons have con-
tinued to live here and across the river at Lismoyle in Tamlaght
O'Crilly parish to this day. At Lismoyle or a few miles further
north at Dullaghy in Desertoghill Parish (Barony of Cole-
raine) this Thomas probably acquired lands and settled. The
tradition that lands were granted here to " Captain Robert
Bolton " cannot as yet be proved true, but there are no Boltons
recorded in or near Londonderry, nor in the Bann valley on
the " Muster Roll of Ulster in 1630" — in the British Mu-
seum, additional MSS. 4770. Five brothers here and a sister
are supposed to be Thomas's children (by a wife probably
Scotch, judging from these names) :
4. i. JOHN^ born about 1675. He probably lived in the
Bann valley, the man whose widow in 1740 was a house-
holder in Tamlaght O'Crilly parish (Lismoyle?) men-
tioned in a contemporary list as number 1135.
ii. Samuel^ born about 1678. His wife was Ann.
His will, which was at the Four Courts, Dublin, until
destroyed, and shows him to have been a thrifty, prosper-
78] BOLTON FAMILIES IN IRELAND
ous farmer, was signed 14 June, 17 18, and entered for
probate 9 Sept. 17 19. This year and more which elapsed
between the date of his will and his death would indicate
that he had a long siege of illness. This will — almost the
only early document of a personal nature connected with
the Ulster family yet found — was copied only a few months
before the Dublin Four Courts or Record Offices were
blown up by the besieged republican rebels in June, 1922.
This is Samuel Bolton's will:
" The last will & test, of Samuel Boulton who is in full
sences & mem. this 14 day of June 171 8.
" I leave to my wife Ann boulton all my house & plough-

law, Thomas Bolton, had four children, and each of these
named a daughter Ann. Possibly she showed a marked affec-
tion for her nephew and nieces. She may have come to New
England to live, unless she was the widow Bolton living in
Tamlaght O'Crilly parish in 1740. (Prot. householders, no.
5. iii. William^ born about 1682. He settled in Wind-
ham, New Hampshire. By his wife Elizabeth he had:
James, David, John, Alexander, Agnes and Grizel. He
died in 1755. Samuel left him four pounds and his best
britches.
6. iv. HuGH% born about 1687. He was a physician at
Colrain, Massachusetts. He had Hugh, Matthew, and
John. His brother, Samuel, left him four pounds and " the
bigge Chaien."
7. V. Thomas^ born about 1695. He settled in Fal-
mouth, Maine, and died in 1765. His children were Wil-
liam (born 1731), Mary, Martha, and Agnes. Samuel
left him four pounds and his best coat and vest.
vi. Agnes% possibly the wife of Daniel Stuart. She
received from Samuel four pounds and a coat and vest,
so she would seem to have had a husband. Stuart had four
children.
3. James^ Bolton {Thomas^) was born possibly about 1650,
and was living at Londonderry in 1682. He was dead before
24 Aug. 1685, if Margaret Bolton, who was licensed to marry
Robert Coventrie of Londonderry, sailor, on that date, was
his widow.
James and Margaret had:
8. i. THOMAS^ born about 1678, was at Sudbury, Mas-
sachusetts, in 1723, and was dead in 1735 if Agnes Bolton,
who married there Hugh Riddle in that year, was his widow.
His parentage is merely a surmise, and the same may be
said of William, who follows.
* MS. Copy in New England Historic Genealogical Society, Boston.
8o] BOLTON FAMILIES IN IRELAND
9. ii. William^, born about 1680. This William is as-
sumed to be the son of James Bolton. He was a Scotch
Irish immigrant, so called, in Andover and Reading, Mas-
sachusetts, in 1 71 8. No proof is known of his parentage,
but ( I ) he was by family tradition " Scotch "; (2) he ar-
rived at the same time that Scotch Irish settlers from Lon-
donderry and Coleraine came to Boston, and is found with
them at Andover; (3) he was followed to New England
ten years later by two persons supposed to be members of
the family; (4) and no other Bolton family at this time is
known to have been in this part of Ulster.
iii. JoHN^, born about 1682, and buried 7 September
at Templemore Cathedral, as son of James and Margaret.
iv. Jeanne% born about 1683, baptized at the Cathe-
dral 13 June, 1683, as daughter of James and Margaret.
There was a Bolton Boyle of Artrea in 1740.
10. V. JOHN^, born about 1685, might conceivably be a
son.
4. JoHN^ Bolton {Thomas-, Thovias^) was born about 1675,
supposedly son of Thomas (No. 2), and born at Lismoyle or
Dullaghy, County Derry. He is mentioned in his brother
Samuel's will in 17 19, and is probably the brother whose son,
John Bolton, was to receive his " horse furneter " and his
" bige coate." His daughter refers in a legal document to her
Dunlap cousin in the Parish of Connor, so his wife's name may
have been Dunlap. Their children appear to have been:
i. JoHN^ born about 1700, the nephew of Samuel;
he was old enough or large enough in 17 18 to inherit
a " bige coate." He is supposed to have been John Bolton
of Drummaul who died in i749- This John's sister,
Ehzabeth, and her husband, Andrew Graham, of the Parish
of Maghera, County Derry, renounced, 1 1 Nov. 1749' their
right to administer John's estate to their cousin, Hugh
Dunlap of the Parish of Connor, County Antrim. James
Map of the Bann Valley
BOLTON FAMILIES IN IRELAND [8i
Dunlap and John Leith of the same place, 13 Nov. 1749,
signed an administration bond for £20. Drummaul is north
of Lough Neagh and Maghera is southwest of Lismoyle.
ii. Elizabeth*, born about 1702. She married
Andrew Graham of Maghera, a cross-roads village a little
southwest of Lismoyle and mid-way on the road from Gar-
vagh. County Derry, to Cookstown. When her brother
John died in 1749, she and her husband asked to have their
cousin, Hugh Dunlap, of the Parish of Connor, appointed
administrator, Connor Is across the river from Lismoyle,
a little to the east. Mr. J. W. Kernohan says that " Watty
Graham was a noted character in the 1798 Rebellion." He
was no doubt a kinsman or descendant of Andrew.
11. Hi. Robert*, born about 1704.
(?)iv. Richard*, born about 1708. He was of Lough-
geel in the parish of Connor In 1766, a papist. Perhaps
not of this family, although other Boltons were associated
with the parish.
12. V. Samuel*, born about 1 7 10.
13. vl. William*, born about 171 2.
5. William'^ Bolton {Thomas', Thomas'^) was born In 1682,
perhaps In Tamlaght O'Crllly parish, County Derry, the
son probably of Thomas Bolton (No. 2). He was at Wind-
ham, N. H., 1729^; and in 1739 he explains his troubles to the
General Court {Mass. Archives, vol. 105, page 160) :
" To his Excellency Jonathan Belcher, Esq'". June 2 1^* 1 739.

6. Hugh' Bolton {Thomas-, Thomas^) was born in 1687,
probably in Lismoyle or Dullaghy, County Derry, the son of
Thomas Bolton (No. 2). He enjoyed, it is said, a good prac-
tice as a physician, but was a dissenter and refuseci to pay tithes.
He assaulted the tax gatherer, and when he saw two constables
approaching to arrest him he fled hatless and came to America,
landing at Portsmouth, New Hampshire.^ He is found at
Wells, Maine, in 1728, where he was a witness for Samuel
Emery. He purchased land from Hugh Morrison in London-
derry, New Hampshire, in 1733, and occupied a house there in
the winter of 1733-34. As late as 1737/38 he was chosen a
sealer of leather, but was soon at Peterboro, New Hampshire,
and in 1741 at Colrain, Massachusetts, the first physician there.
Dr. Bolton died in Colrain 8 June, 1772, aged 85 years. Mrs.

1695, probably at Lismoyle in the Parish of Tamlaght O'Crilly,
County Derry, where in 1921 eight Bolton families were living.
His father appears to have been Thomas Bolton (No. 2).
McLellan's History of Gorham states that he came to Boston
about 1727^ On the same ship a family named Craige were
passengers. The husband died on the voyage out, leaving a
widow Mary, daughter of Hugh McLellan of County Antrim,
and children John, Hugh (born about 1723), and Jenny.
Mr. Bolton married the widow^ in Wells, Maine, 27 Aug.
1727, and in 1731 was living at Falmouth, now Portland,
Maine. Ten years later they moved a short distance westward

to the town of Windham, then known as New Marblehead.
Here Mr. Bolton died at the age of 90, not long before his
wife's death in 1788. Often wrote his name Boolton.
In 1740 he was appointed " to settle the Falmouth school-
master and have the whole benefit of him." The next year he
owned at Windham a garrison house on lot no, 52 ; in 1742 he
had a lot no. 54 with a house. He and Mary were probably
original members of the First Church in 1743, both holding
their membership in 1762. In 1746 he served in Capt. George
Berry's Company, and saw later service. His bill of charges
for the care of a sick soldier, James Melvin, is preserved in the
Massachusetts Archives, vol. 89, page 390, and is dated at
Falmouth 28 March, 1749.
Thomas and Mary had :
i. Agnes*, baptized 28 Oct. 1728, at Wells, Maine,
and died at Buckfield, Maine, 13 June, 1801. She married
at Falmouth, 20 Dec. 1753, Stephen Lowell of Buckfield
and Windham. He was born 6 Oct. 1728. They had
Miriam, Molly, Thomas, Anne, Stephen, and William.
ii. WILLIAM^ Of Windham, Maine. Commonly sup-
posed to be the " child " baptized 4 April, 1 73 1 , at the First
Church, Falmouth. Had: Thomas, William, John, Mary,
Sarah.
iii. Mary*, born 10 July, 1733, at Falmouth, but ac-
cording to the First Church records baptized 10 June, 1733.
She married, 22 Nov. 1760, Robert Millions or Millens of
Windham, and died in 1820. He died in 18 16, aged 84.

8. Thomas^ Bolton {James", Thomas^) was born about
1678, in Londonderry, or perhaps in the Bann valley, the son
of James (No. 3). He first appears at Stow, Massachusetts,
as a sentinel in 1723 and 1725 (Mass. Archives). He seems
to have died before 9 Oct. 1735, when Mrs. Agnes Bolton,
presumably his widow, married Hugh Riddle of Londonderry,
New Hampshire, at Sudbury, Massachusetts. Riddle came
from " Ballymeath," County Derry.^ No town of this name
exists, and if Ballymenagh in the Parish of Desertoghill is
meant, he was a neighbor in Ireland of the Boltons. They
lived at Bedford, New Hampshire. A girl, Agnes Bolton, of
Sudbury may have been the daughter of Thomas and Agnes :
i. Agnes", born about 1725. She married at Sudbury,
Mass., 23 July, 1744, Nathan Moore, who was born in
1725. The above all seems very uncertain but it does ac-
count for the several Agnes Boltons.
9. Willi ANf Bolton {James-, Thovias^) was born either in
Londonderry, Ireland, or perhaps at Dullaghy in the Parish
of Desertoghill, Barony of Coleraine, about the year 1680,
the son, it is supposed, of James Bolton (No. 3) who is men-
tioned in the records of Templemore Cathedral, Londonderry.
He probably reached Boston during the first week of August,
17 1 8, in the ship TViUiam, Archibald Hunter, master, from
Coleraine.
William Bolton appeared in Andover, Massachusetts, with
a company of Scotch Irish settlers in the autumn of the year
1718, and he and Robert Stuart were "warned" to leave
town 30 Jan. 171 8/19. He seems to have spent the spring in
Andover and was published to Elizabeth White on May i6th.
They were married 5 Jan. 1719/20, he being then a resident
of Reading. Elizabeth White was born at Andover 8 April,
1688, the daughter of John and Sarah White. She became a
member of the South Church, Andover, i June, 17 12. He

rented a house from Nicholas Nichols of Andover, apparently
paying his rent in advance. Nichols died Feb. 14th, and in March
the executor offered Mr. Bolton £1.11.0 if he cared to resign
his lease. He then moved to Reading.
In the summer of 1720 he, or a man of the same name,
was at work in Marblehead when he was impressed by Cap-
tain Richard Trevett for service at the Eastward, and in place
of a member of his company. He was a poor man, subject to
lameness, and not in very good health, but he was considered
fit for duty as the following document shows:
Sept. y^ 5 : 1720
Corn" Samuell Brown S'' In Obedience to your warrant
directed to me I have Imprest and Sent by Serg Joseph Andrews
and pickett Two Able men Viz : William Bolton and Tho^
Perry for his Majesties Service
Rich*^ Trevett Capt.
On 17 November, 1722, the Governor was forced to in-
form the House of Representatives " that the forces Desert in
numbers and several complaints have been made of great abuses
practiced by officers in the service and pay of this Government."
Whether William Bolton, ill and lame, deserted, as did half
the army at the Eastward, cannot now be ascertained, but he
returned late in October, 1720, openly to Marblehead, the place
of his enlistment, instead of going to his wife in the North
Parish of Reading. This might indicate that he did not have
reason to fear arrest. He was arrested, however, because he
had no proof of discharge or furlough, and was thrown into
gaol. On the i8th of January of the year following the sheriff
of Essex County stated that William Bolton, whose wife was
in Middlesex County, was " so very poor & necessitous that
he has not wherewithal! to pay his court fees & prison charges,"
and that he was " lame & not well." The sheriff asked that
Bolton be dismissed and it was so ordered by the Court.
William Bolton joined his wife at once and they lived in
Andover. About the last of July or early in August, 1721, Mr.
90] BOLTON FAMILIES IN IRELAND
Bolton moved to Reading. There a son William was born
25 Oct. 1 72 1, and was baptized by the Rev. Daniel Putnam,
pastor of the Second or North Parish Church in Reading.
A son John was born two and a half years later, destined
to die in the expedition to Cape Breton. Mr. Bolton, himself,
died 10 Sept. 1725, just five years after his impressment.
His widow would appear to have returned to Andover with
her children, for the publishment of her approaching marriage
reads:
" Intention of marriage, at Andover, of Timothy Dorman
of Boxford and Elizabeth Bolton, widow, December 17,1 738."
They were married on the anniversary of her former wed-
ding day, 5 Jan. 1739, a pleasant intimation that the day had
for her memories that she wished to perpetuate. Mr. Dorman
died 19 Dec. 1743, and the widow returned to Reading. The
date of her death is not known.
Children of William and Elizabeth :
i. William*, born at Reading, Massachusetts, 25 Oct.
1 72 1 . His descendants live at Shirley, Massachusetts. They
are described in " Shirley Uplands and Intervales," by
Ethel S. Bolton, Boston, 19 14, pp. 324-327; and in the
New England Historical and Genealogical Register, April,
1934, pp. 134-135-
ii. John*, born at Reading, 29 April, 1724.
10. JoHN^ Bolton {James^, Thomas^) of " Desert," or
Desert Parish, Barony of Coleraine, in 1740 (Protestant
householders No. 1760) was born about 1685, the son of
James Bolton (No. 3). Desertoghill is a little north of Kilrea
on the west bank of the Bann River, halfway between Lough
Beg and Coleraine. The widow Bolton at Artrea (northwest
shore of Lough Neagh and near Lough Beg) in 1740 (Prot-
estant householders. No. 191 2) may have been his widow.
His presence at " Desert " seems to indicate that he held
lands at Dullaghy in Desertoghill which were held by Boltons

a century later as shown by the Poll Book of 1806 and the
Census of 1821. They were by tradition here in the early
seventeenth century.
The following may be his children:
14. i. Robert*, born about 1710. He is No. 1910 in
the list of Protestant householders in 1740, living in Artrea
parish, Barony of Loughinsholin.
ii. Thomas*, born about 17 12. In 1740 he or one
of his name was a householder in Artrea parish (No. 1904),
his name preceding on the list those of Robert, James, and
the widow Bolton.
iii. James*, born about 1715. In 1740 living at
Artrea; No. 1911 of the Protestant householders.
15. iv. Samuel*, born about 17 18, He is assumed to
have moved to Coleraine where one of his name was a
householder in 1740 (No. 794) ; but possibly grandfather
of Boltons at Dullaghy in 1801.
II. Robert* Bolton (John^, Thomas-, Thomas'^) was born
about 1704. He remained in the Barony of Toome where the
Boltons had lived for many years. The following document,
copied from the original at Dublin, gives added facts. It is a
Prerogative Grant, dated 1765:
"A commission was granted to swear Robert Bolton the
Natural & lawfuU Son & Next of Kin of Robert Bolton late of
Toom in the County of Londonderry deceased, Intestate. Di-
rected to Neal Magill, Samuel Sharp, & Henry Marmion,
Esq'■^
"Administration of the Goods & soforth of Robert Bolton
late of Toom in the County of Londonderry, dec*^ Intestate was
granted to Robert Bolton the Son 3 April, 1765."
He may have had, including Robert, other sons whose
widows were living in the neighbourhood when the 1821 census
was taken :
92] BOLTON FAMILIES IN IRELAxND
i. Robert^ born about 1730. A Protestant house-
holder at Killead, County Antrim, Diocese of Connor, In
1766. Apparently Robert the administrator.
ii. A SoN^ born about 1735. His wife Ellen, born in
1748, was 80 when the census was taken in 1821. She was
a spinner in the townland of Drumsough, Parish of Drum-
maul (outside the town of Toome, and across the bay from
Killead), living in a one-story house with her daughter,
Mrs. Bridget Moore, who was born in 1784, and her chil-
dren, Nancy aged 12, Ellen 7 and Thomas 4.
iii. A SoN% born about 1740. His widow, Catherine,
aged 80 in 1821, was living at Brecart, Parish of Duneane,
as a lodger with Rose Berry, a flax spinner, and possibly her
daughter. She may have been the mother of Nancy, born
1 79 1, of Duneane; and of two deceased sons, one the hus-
band of Mary (born 1774), of Drumderge, Parish of
Duneane, and another the husband of Catherine (born
1786), who had a child Patrick.
The following persons may have been descendants of
Robert* of the Barony of Toome : —
Robert Bolton, horn 1776 : with wife Mary, born 1778,
and children, Catherine 19, Esther 9. He farmed six
acres in Gortharn, Parish of Drummaul.
Hugh Bolton, born 1789; with wife Jane, born 1788,
and children, Margaret 10, Mary 7, John 3. He was
a farmer in the townland of Farlaugh in Drummaul,
with a one-story house and ten acres.
Matthew Bolton, born in 179 1 ; of BallyboUon, Parish
of Drummaul, employed by James Dobbin.
12. Samuel* Bolton {John^, Thomas-, Thomas^) was born
about 1 7 10, and is supposed to be the Protestant householder
(No. 1 127) of the name in 1740 at Tamlaght O'Crilly Parish.
Little Is known of him except that he inherited the property at
BOLTON FAMILIES IN IRELAND [93
Lismoyle, living there with his widowed mother. He is sup-
posed to have had a son
16. i. Samuel^ born about 1740.
13. William* Bolton (John^, Thomas-, Thomas^) was born
about 17 1 2, and in 1740 was a householder in Lismoyle. He is
supposed to have had a son
17. i. William^ born about 1740.
14. Robert* Bolton {Johtf, James'-, Thomas^) was born
about 1 7 10, probably in the Parish of Desertoghill, County
Derry, Ireland, the son perhaps of John of " Desert " in 1740.
He is No. 1 9 10 in the list of Protestant householders, living
in Artrea Parish, barony of Loughinsholin, south of Lough
Beg and between the towns of Ballyronan and Moneymore.
In 1774, at the time of his death, he was of Cloghog, in the
Parish of Derryloran, County Derry, between Moneymore
and Cookstown, to the west of Artrea. His will is preserved
among the Armagh wills:
" I Robert Bolton of Cloghog in the parish of Derry loran

Mr. Bolton would seem to have been a Presbyterian, and
by his wife, Sarah Armstrong, had :
i. THOMAS^ born about 1740.
ii. Robert^ born about 1742. Possibly a mariner
whose will was recorded in 1783.
iii. Margaret^ born about 1744.

about 17 1 8, perhaps at Dullaghy, Parish of Desertoghill,
County Derry, son of John (No. 10). In 1740 he was No. 794
of the Protestant householders, living in the Parish of
Coleraine.
Possibly from him descended William and Hugh Bolton,
two freehold farmers and weavers living at Dullaghy in 1801
and in 1806 when a poll was taken.
William^, born in 1770, had a farm of seven acres, a
one-story house, and a wife Mary, born 1774, flax

BOLTON FAMILIES IN IRELAND [95
16. Samuel^ Bolton {Samuel^, John^, Thomas-, Thomas^)
was born probably at Lismoyle, Parish of Tamlaght O'Crilly,
County Derry about 1740, the son presumably of Samuel
(No. 12). In the poll taken in 1806 he is supposed to be
" Samuel Bolton Senior," since there is a Junior of the name.
Three farmers and weavers at Lismoyle each had a child
Samuel.
