Agnes Bolton1

b. 1728, d. 27 September 1768
Birth*1728Agnes Bolton was born in 1728 in Ireland.1 
Researcher's Note* 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. 
Marriage*5 November 1754She married Hugh Smith, son of James Smith, on 5 November 1754 in Palmer, Hampden County, Massachusetts.1,2 
Researcher's Note*It is unclear if there were two daughters named Mary born to Agnes and Hugh Smith in Palmer, Hampden County, Massachusetts. In the records for Palmer, two births are listed with identical birth dates and different years, 1765 and 1767. The 1765 date was noted as appearing on her grave stone and the 1767 date appears to have been transcribed from the original record. To further confuse the issue, two death dates are listed also. The one appearing to have been transcribed from the town records reports her death on 30 Jul 1767 and the other, obtained from her grave stone in Old Center Cemetery was noted as 20 Sep 1768, age 10 (or age 1 followed by an O and not a zero).2 
Death*27 September 1768She died the same day she gave birth to John on 27 September 1768 in Palmer, Hampden County, Massachusetts. She was only 33.3,2

Father-Possible* Nathaniel Bolton1 b. 5 May 1706, d. 8 Aug 1770
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 1780Apollos Bolton has credit on the town records of Oakham, Worcester County, Massachusetts, 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
