Ann Bolton1
b. 2 April 1754
| Birth* | 2 April 1754 | Ann Bolton was born on 2 April 1754 in Bridgewater, Plymouth County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England).1,2 |
| Marriage* | 27 November 1777 | She married Jeremiah Pratt, son of Jonathan Pratt and Elizabeth French, on 27 November 1777 in Bridgewater, Plymouth County, Massachusetts (Continental Congress).1,2,3,4 |
| Relocation* | | Anna and Jeremiah Pratt moved to Pomfret, Windsor County, Vermont. The Pratt Directory noted that the History of Pomfret, Vermont; H.H. Vail; Boston; Cockayne 1930 erroneously stated that they took several adult children with them but others have proved they could not have been children of Jeremiah. Most were actually children of John Pratt (c1723) of Pomfret.4 |

Apollos Bolton
| Birth* | | Our only clue to the parentage of Apollos Bolton at this point in our research is that our first (and only) finding of his name was on a list of Revolutionary War Soldiers who served from Oakham, Worcester County, Massachusetts. Two other Bolton men, Nathaniel Jr. and Elias, were also listed and both were sons of Nathaniel Bolton of Bridgewater. So, we wonder... Was Apollos Bolton their brother?1 |
| Revolutionary War* | 6 July 1780 | Apollos Bolton has credit on the town records of Oakham, Worcester County, Massachusetts (Continental Congress), for service in the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. He served from 6 July 1780 in a three months' campaign at West Point, completing his service on 10 Oct 1780.1 |

| Birth* | 27 November 1783 | Barzillia Bolton was born in 27 November 1783 in Bridgewater, Plymouth County, Massachusetts (Continental Congress).1,3 |
| (Son) Census US 1790 | | It is not known which of their children were enumerated on the 1790 census in the household of their parents, Joseph and Mary (Bolton) Bolton in Bridgewater, Plymouth County, Massachusetts. Joseph and Mary would have been married about 17 years in 1790 and at least 8 of their 9 children, five sons and three daughters, had been born by that year. Until we learn more about the years of the deaths of their sons, we cannot determine which of the boys may have been enumerated with the family in 1790. The residents of the household included one male age 16 and over, who would have been father Joseph, only two males under 16 and four females.4 |

The deed was witnessed by Thomas Hayward and Cornelius Hayward on 16 Mar 1794 and recorded on 27 Mar 1794.

Child Bolton1
b. 24 January 1798
| Almshouse | 6 July 1797 | This child's mother, Elizabeth Bolton, was pregnant with her third known illegitimate child when she was admitted to the Almshouse in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, on 6 July 1797.2 |
| Birth* | 24 January 1798 | Child Bolton was born on 24 January 1798 in the Almshouse, Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts.3 |
| Almshouse* | 4 September 1798 | Both mother and child appear to have been discharged as the responsibility of the town of Boston on 4 Sep 1798. It seems unlikely that this child was her daughter Betsey Denny Bolton, who noted as an adult in her family's Bible that she was born or baptized on 17 Dec 1802. It is more probable that this was another illegitimate child of Betsy's and the reason for her former husband's anger and subsequent divorce. Research indicates that John Bolton and Betsy Denny Bolton had no children together and that Betsy had at least three illegitimate children before her marriage and one or two more illegitimate children using the name Bolton after the couple divorced and parted in 1797.4 |
| Almshouse | 4 September 1798 | Elizabeth Bolton and her child were re-admitted on the same date of 4 September 1798 to the Almshouse in Boston. Their re-admittance, likely just an administrative change in financial responsibility, noted that they belonged to the town of Bridgewater, Plymouth County, Massachusetts.5 |
| Almshouse | 22 August 1799 | The town of Bridgewater was notified on 22 August 1799 by the Almshouse in Boston that the price for Elizabeth Bolton and her child for the period between 22 May 1799 and 22 Aug 1799 was being charged at the rate of $3 per week.6 |
| Almshouse | 7 September 1799 | Elizabeth Bolton and her child, belonging to the town of Bridgewater, were discharged on 7 September 1799, one year after their 4 Sep 1798 re-admittance into the Boston Almshouse.5 |
| Almshouse | 7 September 1799 | On 7 September 1799, the town of Bridgewater was billed by the Boston Almshouse for the board and care of Elizabeth Bolton and her child in the amount of $53.28 which was paid by cash on 24 Feb 1800.7 |
