Notes for WILLIAM BOLTON:
DAR Patriot Index William Bolton Pvt. Ma William Bolton son of Thomas, lived and died on his father's old farm. In 1747, August 27th, the Indians made an assault, and attempted to capture him and William Maxfield. The family tradition is that William Bolton was out hunting for the cattle at the time. Bolton having discharged his gun at the enemy, was rushed on and captured before he could reload. Maxfield being more fortunate in loading, retreated backward toward the fort, with his gun pointed at the Indians, till he was relieved by a body of mencoming to his aid. bolton was marched through the woods into Canada, suffering many hardships, and sold to a French officer, and put on board a French frigate. This frigate soon after was captured by an English vessel, and Bolton was carried into Boston, where he became the servant of a Lieutenant Wallace, on board of an English frigate, but was soon set at liberty, and returned to his friends in Windham. There is a story told, and probably it is true, that some years afterwards Bolton met his old master, Lieutenant Wallace, in Portland, poor and destitute. He took him home to Windham, where he kept him in comfort and respectability till his death. When Lieutenant Wallace died he was 80 years of age. William Bolton married, March 17, 1757, Rachel, daughter of Thomas Haskell. William Bolton died, October 12, 1787, aged 56.
