(Son) Census US 17901790Thomas was likely enumerated on the 1790 census in the household of his father Jonathan Bolton in Freetown, Bristol County, Massachusetts. The household consisted of 3 males aged 16 and over, 2 males under the age of 16 and 1 female. Son John had his own household on neighboring land in 1790, so it is suspected that Jonathan and his sons David and Thomas were the 3 older males, that their wife and mother Thankful was the female and that the 2 younger males were as yet unidentified children of the couple.1,2 
Taxation*1798Thomas Bolton appeared on the Direct Tax list in 1798 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. The size of the property was 4440 square feet had one dwelling house and one out-building. The valuation first determined by the Principal Assessor for the property was $1600, and the valuation as revised and equalized by the Commissioners was $1760.3 
Marriage Intention8 August 1806An intention of marriage between Thomas Bolton and Joanna Jucket was entered by William Jucket and recorded on 8 August 1806 in Freetown, Bristol County, Massachusetts. In the Helen Gurney Thomas source, the entry is presented as though the intention of marriage was between Joanna Jucket and William Jucket and that Thomas Bolton made the communication. This researcher believes that to be a misinterpretation of the actual record in the Town Clerk's office and that the principals to the marriage were actually Thomas Bolton and Joanna Jucket. The intention of marriage between William Jucket and Barbary Hart of Tiverton, and dated 31 Jan 1808, also appears on page 290. William was likely a relative of Joanna's, although the relationship has not yet been established.4,5 
Marriage*after 8 August 1806He probably married Joanna Jucket after 8 August 1806 in Freetown, Bristol County, Massachusetts.6 
(Witness to Deed) Land Transfer31 October 1806Jonathan Bolton, a yeoman of Freetown, and his wife Thankful Bolton signed a deed agreement on 31 October 1806 to sell land in Freetown, Bristol County, Massachusetts, to Thomas White, a yeoman of Dartmouth, for the sum of $200. The deed was dated and signed on 31 October 1806, and recorded on 1 Nov 1806. It described the tract or parcel of land situated in Freetown, bounded as follows: Containing twenty-six acres ___________ and bounded Northerly by land belonging to Augustus Chase, Easterly and Southerly by Calvin Reynolds' land, Westerly by Peregrine White's land and is the one-half of that lot of land, taken off at the North end, which he, Jonathan Bolton, and his son, John Bolton, bought from Bethuel Borden. It was signed with the marks of Jonathan Bolton and Thankful Bolton, with Thomas Bolton and David Bolton as witnesses.7 
(Witness to Deed) Land Transfer26 March 1807Jonathan Bolton, a yeoman of Freetown, signed a deed agreement which was recorded on 26 March 1807 to sell land in Freetown, Bristol County, Massachusetts, to Benjamin Crapo and Thomas White, yeomen of Freetown and Dartmouth, respectively, for the sum of $150. The deed identified Jonathan Bolton's "homestead farm" situated and lying in Freetown, bounded as follows: Beginning at the Northeast corner of Abram Ashley's land which lays on the South side of the road that runs by Peregrine White's and is a part of the land which Abram Ashley bought from Joshua Crapo, thence running Easterly by that same road until it comes to John Borden's land until it comes to Lemuel Borden's land, thence Westerly by Lemuel Borden's land until it comes to the Mill River, thence Northerly by that river until it comes to the Northeast corner of Benjamin Crapo's land until it comes to Abram Ashley's land, thence Northerly by Abram Ashley's land until it comes to the above mentioned road, and containing forty acres, "be it the same more or less". Jonathan Bolton signed with his mark, with (Malaeths____or____Merchant??) White and Thomas Bolton as witnesses.8

Family
RelationshipGrandson of James Bolton
ChartsDescendants of William Bolton of Reading, The Immigrant
Father*William Bolton2 d. 10 Sep 1725
Mother*Elizabeth White2 b. 8 Apr 1688
Birth*25 October 1721William Bolton was born on 25 October 1721 in the North Parish, Reading, Middlesex County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England).1,3,4 
Marriage*William Bolton married, as his first wife, a woman named Mary __?__ who was almost certainly not Mary Nurse. Most published sources, however, have perpetuated this erroneous information as fact. No record has yet been found for the marriage of William Bolton. A record was found for the marriage of Mary Nurse and Edward Powers on 17 Mar 1747/48 at Rutland, Massachusetts. The record for the birth of William's son William on 21 Jan 1743/44 in Reading, Massachusetts identified him as the son of William and Mary Bolton. Although the researching descendants of William and Mary would love to claim Mary Nurse as an ancestor, they are determined to set the record straight as they pursue the truth.5,1,4 
(Brother) Administration12 May 1746When William's brother, John Bolton, died at Cape Breton in 1746, Elizabeth Dorman, mother of John Bolton, requested by sworn statement on 12 May 1746 that Edward Hircom be appointed as Administrator for her deceased son's estate. In her statement, she made clear her "desire that Administration of all the goods, chattels, rights and credits of my son, John Bolton, deceased at Cape Breton, might be granted unto Mr. Edward Hircom." On the same date, Edward Hircom, Jonathan Nurse and William Bolton, all yeomen of Reading, Middlesex County, Massachusetts paid the sum of five hundred pounds as bond and were appointed appraisers of the estate of John Bolton late of Andover in the County of Essex in the province of Massachusetts, who died intestate.6,3 
Occupation*William Bolton was a thrifty farmer, a loyal soldier and an active citizen of Reading, Middlesex County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England).3 
Historical Note*3 March 1755 At the annual town meeting held in Reading on 3 Mar 1755, he was listed as a "tithingman" from the North Parish and would maintain that position for a number of years. The tithingman, "whose power reached over the threshold of every family in the hamlet, patriarchal, fatherly, neighborly," was a thing of the past well before 1889, was in keeping with the customs of Plymouth, old England and Saxon times.3 
(Father) Birth5 May 1759The Boltons of Old and New England source surmised that Mary and William Bolton's son, Timothy Bolton, born on 5 May 1759 in Reading, Middlesex County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England), may have been named for his mother's cousin, Timothy Nurse, brother of Jonathan Nurse, however it is now known that Timothy's mother, while named Mary, was not Mary Nurse.3,1,7 
Relocation*25 May 1773 On 25 May 1773, William sold his house and garden, with other lands in Reading, to Jeremiah Eaton, and three days later William and Mary, with their family, followed the family of their eldest son, William Bolton Jr., and relocated to Shirley, Middlesex County.3,4 
Residence*28 May 1773That same year, William purchased a large farm from the Honorable James Prescott.7,1,3 
(Husband) Deathbefore 16 May 1776William became a widower when Mary (---?---) Bolton died not long after the family's move to Shirley.3,4 
Marriage*16 May 1776He married second, as her third husband, Sarah (Blood) Bennett Farnsworth, daughter of Ebenezer Blood and Abigail Chamberlain, on 16 May 1776 in Reading, Middlesex County, Massachusetts (Continental Congress). Most published sources state that William Bolton married Sarah Lewis, and not Sarah Farnsworth. According to Reading, Massachusetts marriage records, a William Bolton did marry a Sarah Lewis on 18 September 1788. However, it is believed by this researcher, and other current Bolton family researchers, that that the William Bolton of that marriage was not this William.5,1,3,4,8 
Residence*1794 In 1794William added to the large farm he had purchased in 1773 in Shirley, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. The house, with the ridgepole parallel with the road and sloping back, after the manner of the time, to a shed in the rear, was conspicuous as the first house west of West Groton. The place became known later as "The Peter Tarbell Place." Near the house there was an old barn, still functioning in 1889 as it had in the days before the Revolutionary War.3,7 
Land Transfer*February 1801 In February 1801, William Bolton gave an undivided half of his farm to his sons, Timothy Bolton and Edward Bolton.3 
Death30 April 1804He died on 30 April 1804 in Shirley, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, at age 82.3,7,1,5,4 
Burial*He was buried in Shirley, Middlesex County, Massachusetts.1 
(Father) Land Transfer1804 In 1804, the same year as their father's death, Edward and Timothy Bolton, sold forty-five acres of the farm their father had gifted to them in 1801 to James Parker, gentleman.3 
(Husband) Land Transfer1806 In 1806, Sarah Bolton sold her share of her deceased husband's farm to the same James Parker his sons had sold their share to in 1804.3

Family
RelationshipSon of James Bolton
ChartsDescendants of William Bolton of Reading, The Immigrant
Father*James Bolton2
Mother*Margaret __?__2
Birth*An internet source, which may or may not be accurate, reported that William Bolton was born in Coleraine, County Londonderry, Ireland. Charles Knowles Bolton, in his Boltons of Old and New England, was uncertain about both William's age and origins. He wrote, "Thus it will be seen that William Bolton married a woman nearly thirty-two years of age. It may not be too much, then, to presume that he was, at this time, a man in middle life. We do not know how long he had lived at Reading before he went to Andover a-courting in 1719. Possibly he came from Virginia where lands were granted to one of the same name forty years before. It seems more probable, however, that he came from London or from Lancashire where William was a favorite name with the Boltons.3 
Immigration*1718He was called Scotch-Irish, having immigrated in 1718 from the Bann Valley near Coleraine, in the north of Ireland, although the family was originally from Lancashire, England.4 
Residence*William Bolton was living in Reading, Middlesex County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England), at the time of his marriage. Both the town records and the church records speak of him as of Reading.3 
Marriage*5 January 1720He married, as her first husband, Elizabeth White, daughter of John White and Sarah __?__, on 5 January 1720 in Andover, Essex County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England). They were married by Mr. Samuel Phillips, a well-known Congregational minister.5,3,4 
Relocation*About a year after their marriage, William and Elizabeth moved from Andover and to Reading, Middlesex County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England), England.4 
Death*10 September 1725He died on 10 September 1725 in Reading, Middlesex County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England).5,3,4 
(CLUE Person) Research Notes It is suspected that Agnes Bolton of Palmer belongs to one of the early immigrant Bolton families already being researched. William of Reading was thought to have come from Ireland and the brothers William of Windham and Thomas of Gorham, both having come to America from Tamlaght O'Crilly, Northern Ireland, each named a daughter Agnes.

King William's War*William Bolton was a soldier in the French Wars, called in North America, King William's War.

The first of the French and Indian Wars, King William's War (1689–1697) was the name used in the English colonies in America to refer to the North American theater of the War of the Grand Alliance (1688–1697). Note that the North American theatre does not have a separate name in British, French, or Canadian historiography, and is simply thought of as being part of the Nine Years' War. It was fought between England, France, and their respective American Indian allies in the colonies of Canada, Acadia, and New England.

King William's War began in May 1689 after William III of England joined the League of Augsburg against France. In August, 1,500 Iroquois attacked the New France settlement at La Chine before New France had even learned of the start of the war. Frontenac later attacked the Iroquois village of Onondaga. New France and its Indian allies then attacked English frontier settlements, most notably the Schenectady Massacre of 1690. The English captured Port Royal, Nova Scotia, the capital of Acadia, and then launched an expedition to seize the capital of New France, but were defeated in the Battle of Quebec. The French attacked the British-held coast, recapturing Port Royal.

The Quebec expedition was the last major offensive of King William’s War; for the remainder of the war the English colonists were reduced to defensive operations and skirmishes. In early 1692, in the Candlemas Massacre an estimated 150 Abenakis commanded by officers of New France entered the town of York, Maine, killing about 100 of the English settlers and burning down buildings. The Iroquois Five Nations suffered from the weakness of their English allies.[1] In 1693 and 1696, the French and their Indian allies ravaged Iroquois towns and destroyed crops while New York colonists remained passive. After the English and French made peace in 1697, the Iroquois, now abandoned by the English colonists, remained at war with New France until 1701.

The Treaty of Ryswick in 1697 ended the war between the two colonial powers, reverting the colonial borders to the status quo ante bellum. The peace did not last long, and within five years the colonies were embroiled in the next of the French and Indian Wars, Queen Anne's War. After their settlement with France in 1701, the Iroquois remained neutral in the early part of the war.2,3 
Death*30 March 1694He died on 30 March 1694 at age 28.2

(Soldier) French & Indian War5 June 1758William Bolton and his brother, Meshach, both appeared on a Billeting Roll of Halifax, Plymouth County, men dated 5 June 1758 in the Regiment of Colonel Thomas Doty. The roll listed the men who had refused to march without first being taken into their proper companies and receiving their lodging arrangements. William had enlisted on 10 Apr, and the roll was made up to 31 May. He had served for 51 days and the record stated he received £1, 14 shillings in compensation.4,3 
(Private) French & Indian War17 October 1758William Bolton of Halifax, Plymouth County, appeared on a Muster Roll as a Private in a company of Foot Soldiers in His Majesty's service under Captain James Andrews in the Regiment of Colonel Thomas Doty in 1758. William was a minor and his "Father or Master" was recorded as Elisha Bolton. He had begun his service on 10 Apr 1758, was officially discharged on 01 Oct 1758, allowed 16 days of travel and was credited as serving until 17 October 1758, for a length of service of 6 months, 23 days. He was charged £3 for arms he didn't return.5 
(Soldier) French & Indian War1758William Bolton, from Captain James Andrews's Company, Colonel Thomas Doty's Regiment, appeared on a Billeting Account rendered by Ezekiel Howe, an Innkeeper of Sudbury, for providing 2 meals to William and the other men on their return from the Canada Expedition in 1758.6 
(Soldier) French & Indian War11 May 1759Nathaniel Bolton and William Bolton were among those who appeared on the list of Massachusetts Soldiers who landed at Halifax, Halifax County, Nova Scotia Province, Canada, with Captain Josiah Thacher's Company, Colonel John Thomas's Regiment on 11 May 1759. William's residence was not provided, and the notation following his name indicated that he served in the Rangers.7 
(Private) French & Indian War28 February 1760William Bolton of Halifax and his uncle, Nathaniel Bolton of Bridgewater, both appeared as Privates on a Muster Roll of a company in His Majesty's service under the command of Captain Josiah Thacher, in Colonel John Thomas's Regiment serving in Halifax, Halifax County, Nova Scotia Province. The roll was endorsed in 1759 and dated 28 February 1760. William began his service on 26 Mar and served until 12 May, probably 1759, although the year was not given. He served for 6 weeks, 6 days.8,9 
(Brother) Death9 July 1762A son of William's father, Elisha Bolton, died in the army and his death, although no name was given, was noted in the church records on 9 July 1762 in Pembroke, Plymouth County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England). An earlier researcher, who believed himself to be a descendant of William, stated that William had at least one son, the researcher's great-grandfather Lemuel Bolton, in 1778. If true, William was not the son whose death in the army was recorded in 1762.10,11,12,13,14 
(2nd Great Grandfather) LineageHe may have been an ancestor of Harry Emmett Bolton, who stated to the New England Historic and Genealogical Society, sometime before his death in 1958, that he was unable to prove the ancestry of his great-grandfather, Lemuel Bolton, but he believed that Lemuel was the son of William, the son of Nathaniel, the son of Nicholas, the Immigrant. Our research indicates that Harry's 2nd Great-Grandfather, if William Bolton, was actually the son of Elisha Bolton, Nathaniel's brother. It appears from the French & Indian War records that the young William was very close to his Uncle Nathaniel, and they may have continued their close relationship later in life as well. Nathaniel and Elisha Bolton were sons of John Bolton who was the son of the immigrant Nicholas Boulton.2,1

Birth*21 January 1743/44William Bolton Jr. was born on 21 January 1743/44 in Reading, Middlesex County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England).1,2 
Marriage*28 March 1765He married Abigail Sheldon, daughter of William Sheldon and Abigail Gowing, on 28 March 1765 by the Reverend Eliab Stone in Reading, Middlesex County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England).1,3 
Relocation*circa 1767William and Abigail Bolton moved circa 1767 to Shirley, Middlesex County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England), where he had purchased part of the estate of Jonathan Moore, gentleman.4 
Land Transfer*From a deed, it appears that William Bolton Jr. gave Thomas Sheldon, believed to have been his brother-in-law, a piece of land in Shirley, Middlesex County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England), and promised to care for his mother, Abigail Gowing Sheldon, until her death, and to give her a Christian burial. This curious agreement was thwarted by William's early death.4 
Revolutionary War*19 April 1775In the Revolutionary War, William Bolton Jr. was one of the volunteers who marched from Shirley to Cambridge, Middlesex County, Massachusetts (Continental Congress), at the alarm on 19 April 1775. He beat the drum for Captain Henry Haskell's company in Colonel James Prescott's Regiment. Sergeant Bolton was at Bennington in July 1777 and fought August 16 at the battle, under General Stark. In 1779 he was at Cheverick on the Hudson in the Second Massachusetts regiment.5,4 
Death*7 May 1780He died on 7 May 1780 in Shirley, Middlesex County, Massachusetts (Continental Congress), at age 36, leaving a considerable estate to his family.1,4 
Administration*18 May 1780The first papers in the Administration of William Bolton Jr.'s estate, dated on 18 May 1780 and recorded at Middlesex County, Massachusetts (Continental Congress), describe him as late of Shirley, a yeoman and having died intestate. They appoint his widow, Abigail Bolton, as Administrator and require that a full inventory of the estate be made. An itemized inventory was submitted to the court on 1 Jun 1780 and showed a total value of about 10,000 pounds. Abigail also submitted a list of expenses she had incurred since her husband's death, totalling about 1,700 pounds. Among the expenses were "keeping my aged mother" and "keeping my three children who are under seven years of age."6 
Burial*He was buried in Shirley, Middlesex County, Massachusetts (Continental Congress). His grave was marked by a stone with an angel's head and wings, with the following:
In Memory of
Mr William Bolton
Junr who Departed
this Life 1780
in the 37th Year
of his age.
Blessed are the Dead
which lie in the Lord
They rest from thier Labour
& their Workss do Follow them.4
 
Estate*17 April 1781The court approved the inventory and expenses submitted by William Bolton Jr.'s widow, Abigail Bolton, on 17 April 1781 and determined that William's estate be distributed. Abigail, as the deceased's widow, was to receive "one full Third Part" of the total estate.6

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.3
