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

ElizabethBolton was admitted to the Almshouse in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, on 6 July 1797. While there, she gave birth to a child, who was not named or identified by sex. The record stated that the child was born on 24th January 1798 of Betsy Bolton. The town they belonged to was noted as (Boston) Bridgewater. Both mother and child appear to have been discharged on 7 Sep 1798. Whether this child was actually her daughter, Betsy Denny Bolton (who noted she was born or baptized on 17 Dec 1802) or an earlier child is not known. Research indicates that John Bolton and Betsy Denny Bolton had no children together and that Betsy had one or two children using the name Bolton after the couple parted in 1797.
An entry in the financial records of the Almshouse notes that on 22 Aug 1799 the Town of Bridgewater was notified that payment at the rate of $3 per week from the 22nd May was due on the account of Elizabeth Bolton and her child, and on 7 Sep 1799 the Town of Bridgewater was billed $53.28 which was paid by cash on 24 Feb 1800 for the board and care of Betsy and her child.2

Elder Daniel Bolton1
b. circa 1750, d. 8 June 1820

Daniel Bolton appeared on the 1790 census as the Head of Household in Stafford, Tolland County, Connecticut. His household of 8 people consisted of 2 free white males under the age of 16, 1 free white male over the age of 16 and 5 free white females.3
In the northeast corner of Ashford, known appropriately as Northford, seven men organized as a Baptist society on 11 Nov 1793 and pledged themselves to build a house of worship and support a religious teacher. A council consisting of pastors and delegates from the three Baptist churches in Ashford and the First Baptist church of Woodstock convened on 5 Nov 1794 for the purpose of beginning their new church. Six new converts were baptized that day by Elder Daniel Bolton and they, along with the original council were officially recognized as the Fourth Baptist church of Ashford.4
Occupation*
between 1795 and 1806
Elder Daniel Bolton, who brought a letter of membership dismission from his previous church in Wilbraham, was retained as pastor of their new Fourth Baptist Church of Ashford. Though not completed for several years, the meeting-house was used for public services. A sufficient support was provided for the pastor, who also worked to provide for his own support in order to be less of a burden for the brethren of his church. "Though few in numbers and far remote from the busy world, this church enjoyed uncommon grace and harmony and exercised a most beneficial influence upon the community... Elder Bolton administered the pastorate until 1806, to the great acceptance of all, and his name adhered to the meeting-house long after his removal to distant fields."4
Census 1800*
1800
