Nicholas Boulton the Immigrant

b. 1600, d. 27 May 1683
Relationship 2nd great-grandfather of John Bolton (our Brick Wall Ancestor).
Charts Descendants of Nicholas Boulton, The Immigrant
Birth*1600Nicholas Boulton was born in 1600 in England. His date of birth was calculated from his recorded age of 83 at his death in 1683. 
Immigration*1644Nicholas Boulton immigrated, probably, from England and arrived in Dorchester, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, sometime before 1644 when his name appeared for the first time in Dorchester records. He was the ancestor to almost all of the Boltons found to be living in Suffolk, Plymouth, Bristol and Norfolk counties in Massachusetts during our targeted time period.
Freeman*29 May 1644Nicholas Boulton the Immigrant was a Freeman on 29 May 1644 in Dorchester, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. This meant that he was legally recognized as a white male over 21 years of age holding full rights of citizenship, being free to engage in a trade or business, own land, and to vote.1 
Marriage*He married Elizabeth Unknown.2 
Name VariationNicholas Boulton the Immigrant surname was also spelled Bolton.1 
Biographical Info* Nicholas rang the bell and kept the church in order. He petitioned twice to the Selectmen for approval for his wife to sell cider, and was refused both times.1,3 
Death*27 May 1683He died on 27 May 1683 in Dorchester, Suffolk County, Massachusetts.4,5 
Will*Nicholas Boulton left a will which was probated in 1683 in Suffolk County, Massachusetts. Although the index has survived, the original documents have not. They appear to have been lost before they could bre filmed.6 
(5th Gr Grandfather) LineageHe was probably 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.7,8
