UNCOMFIRMED:  William Bolton   b. unk.  d.  abt. 1790   Anson Co., NC & Richmond Co., NC

The following information was received from researcher Peggy Kearns in Raleigh, NC.  Information was obtained from Archives but to date I do not have collaborating documentation.

 

Land Transaction -- Feb. 27, 1769   Stephen Pitcock  to  William Bolton  Anson Co., NC  sold 100 acres on Mountain Creek for 20 pounds.  Border Jonathan Evans lower line on Mountain Creek: Part of 200 acres granted April 20, 1763 to James Poston who sold July 11, 1763 to John Cartwright who sold Aug. 10, 1765 to Robert Poston.  Oath 1769 ackowledged Deeds, Book 7, page 247, Anson Co., NC  (NC Archives)

 

William Bolton  found on 1777 Petition asking for Pee Dee river to be dividing line for the County.  At that time his land was in Anson Co.

 

Son Benjamin was executor of William's estate since William dies w/out a will. There was some controversy in the settlement.  Owen Slaughter, Jr. was also administrator to William's estate.

                  v.       THOMAS BOLTON, d. Unknown.

 

 

Generation No. 2

 

2.  BENJAMIN2 BOLTON, SR. (WILLIAM1)2,3,4,5,6 was born Bet. 1763 - 1764 in Anson/Richmond County, North Carolina, and died February 12, 1843 in Dallas County, Alabama.  He married RACHEL SLAUGHTER7, daughter of OWEN SLAUGHTER and ELIZABETH/MARY BOLTON.  She was born Abt. 1770 in Anson/Richmond County, North Carolina, and died Bef. 1843 in Dallas County, Alabama.

 

Notes for BENJAMIN BOLTON, SR.:

In the Dallas County, Alabama Deed Book A, page 344 is the following entry:  17 February 1821.  Benjamin Bolton's discharge and record of Revolutionary service. "I have 9 children residing with me and depending on me for support:  Rebecca, aged 12; Rachel, aged 22; Sally, aged 18; Betsey, aged 16; Benjamin, aged 14; James, aged 13; Edwin, aged 12; Owen, aged 10 and George aged 9."

 

In the 1820 census index there is an entry for Benjamin Bolton in Dallas County, Alabama on page 320.  However, in the other index book that lists all the names by county, he is absent.  There is no film for the 1820 census in the Hsv library.

 

In the 1840 census for Pickens County there is an entry for Benjamin Bolton, aged 60-69, with 1m 5-9, 1 m 15-19, 1m 20-29, 1f 20-29, 1f 50-59 and no blacks.  Is this Sr. living with children?  The ages for him and his wife are close.

 

In the Alabama State census of 1820, Benjamin lists the correct number of males over and under twenty one, but gives three females over 21 (I can only account for his wife and Rachel - perhaps his mother in law?) and one under 21, although his daughters at that time included Sally, Betsey, and Rebecca.  Perhaps two of them had died.

 

I'm not sure where I got the reference that he's in the Rev. War, I can't find his name listed in the Generations Family Tree listing.

 

*******************

Info from P5151@aol.com:

Benjamin is on 1779 tax list as having 265 acres. This is quite a bit of land for 16 year old & this is pending confirmation.  Benjamin was a Revolutionary War soldier & may have enlisted May 1781 at abt. 18 years old.  He left service Dec. 1, 1782. He was a Pvt. In Rhodes Co. Roster of the Continental Line 1783 (Colonial Records of NC)

Generation No. 3

 

3.  BENJAMIN3 BOLTON, JR. (BENJAMIN2, WILLIAM1)26,27,28,29,30,31,32 was born Bet. 1804 - 1806 in Richmond County, North Carolina, and died Bet. 1851 - 1888.  He married NANCY HARRIETT MARRELSON RASCO33,34 July 14, 1822 in Dallas County, Alabama35, daughter of LABAN RASCO and SARAH REESE.  She was born April 15, 1805 in Christian County, Kentucky36, and died Aft. 1860.

 

Notes for BENJAMIN BOLTON, JR.:

There is a Benjamin Bolton in Greene County Will Book D, 1851-1888, p. 173

 

Early Alabama Marriages has a marriage date of June 15, 1822, but I trust the Dallas County book more.

 

Laban Rasco's estate settlement in 1860 notes that the Boltons live in Shelby County.

 

In the 1830 census of Dallas County, Benjamin is listed on the line above Laban Rasco.  A Jesse Rasco is listed later next to a Vanderslice and near a Harrell.

Notes for NANCY HARRIETT MARRELSON RASCO:

Darryl had her name as Nancy H. M Rasce, but I believe it is Nancy Harriet Rasco.  This is from her father's will.  However, I keep running across her name given so many way.

 

There is an IGI record for Nancy M. Rasco, born 15 Apr 1805 in Christian, Kentucky, father Laban Taylor Rasco 1, mother Sarah Reese.  This fits the dates and father's name. 2034763 is the film number.

9.  GEORGE L.5 BOLTON (THOMAS JEFFERSON4, BENJAMIN3, BENJAMIN2, WILLIAM1)81,82,83,84 was born 1868 in Chilton County, Alabama85, and died 1953 in Chilton County, Alabama86.  He married FRANCES BALZORA WILLIS86,87,88, daughter of JAMES WILLIS and BALZORA JACKSON.  She was born 1871 in Alabama89, and died 1953 in Chilton County, Alabama89.

 

Notes for GEORGE L. BOLTON:

George's tombstone gives his birth year as 1868, but in the 1920 census he is listed as age 50, making his birth year about 1870.

 

Before I realized that Sarah Bolton Porter and George L. were brother and sister (which I figured out because of the ages of George and his sister Nancy H. in both the 1920 and 1880 censuses), I had his mother's name as Mary, with no reference.  I think I recall Mama or Aunt May telling me that this was their mother's name, and I have a picture of someone named Mary Bolton.

 

Mama also says that her grandfather's name was Owen, so I'm totally confused.
