Bolton CT Genealogical Queries

I have a dead end in Bolton CT. "Betsy" THATCHER is said to have born here 28 Jan 1753. Her family moved on to Norwich VT where she married John BROWN in 1777. Anyone having access to the CT births of era-1753 could possibly do a lookup for me. This is my "Betsy" page: http://trees.ancestry.com/pt/person.aspx?tid=609268&pid=-824283482&pg=2

I don't know if you can help me but I thought it was worth a try. My great-grandfather was born in Bolton in 1834. His name was Charles Ward Fox. He is my dead end. He married Mary Elizabeth Lyman, served in the 22nd ct infantry and moved to Iowa. I cant find any information on his parents. Any info you have would be greatly appreciated. By the way, Mary Lyman is a direct descendant of William Brewster of the Mayflower. Thank you very much.

I am searching for LOIS CHAPMAN b. 1740 in CT or NY. Was she related to John Chapman born in North Stonington, who married in Bolton first to Hannah KINGSBURY and later to Mary BOARDMAN?

Carpenter Family in Bolton CT: We have the following family who were living in Bolton from 1727 to 1757 according to land records.

Jedediah Carpenter Born in Northhampton Mass 1 Oct 1697 the son of Benjamin Carpenter and Hannah Strong. The family moved to Coventry in 1705 and to Bolton about 1725. His first son was Daniel born sometime before 1726. Later children were baptized in the Bolton Church: Joel, Ruth, Nathan, Samuel, Dorcas, and Ezekial. Their mother's name is not given. From these records we know that Jedediah lived in Bolton from 1727 to 1757. We would like to learn the name of his wife and his profession.

The Carpenter records continue with son Daniel receiving land from his father in 1777 in Coventry. Jedediah's wife died a widow in Stafford 9 Jan. 1784.

Daniel Sr. does not seem to have lived in Bolton except briefly around 1770. But his son Daniel Carpenter JR enlisted in the Revolution in East Hartford while a resident of Bolton. His account of his war experience is a part of his pension application of April 13, 1818 from Vienna, NY, #48116. "Daniel Carpenter while a resident of Bolton, "CT, enlisted in Nov. or Dec. 1775, served as a private in Captain Ozias Bissel's Co, Colonel Jedediah Huntington's CT Regiment and was discharged in Nov. 1776. He says he was stationed at an island near Boston during winter of 1775 and in the spring marched to NY city. He became sick in Sept 1776 and placed in hospital in Ny until end of year."

I noticed an ancestor's name from the Congregational Church marriages which was organized in 1725. William Burnham and Jersuha Clark were married in 1734. Would there be any way to see if any of their children were baptized there. We are looking in particular for Frederick born approx. 1742. Thank you,

I'm starting to help my dad solidify some of our records tracing our lineage. The line I'm working on right now extends back to Francis Cooke of the Mayflower, and weaves its way through Bolton CT!

I just found your website listing marriages. I didn't find the one I was hoping for. I'm looking for Reuben King & Susanna Millard who were reportedly married 15 Oct 1772.

I'm working my way backwards from Francis Cooke toward myself. The first 5 generations from Francis Cooke down are all documented already (through the Mayflower Society folks), The first generation I need to prove starts with the (documented) birth of Reuben King 22 Feb 1752 in Bolton CT.

I have some info that says Reuben married a Susanna Millard in Bolton CT 15 Oct 1772. (The DAR has her listed as his wife so I'm feeling good about this bit.)

I'm looking to document that marriage and their offspring. I'm guessing they stayed in the area because they both apparently died in the area. (My dad says Rueben's grave stone is in Vernon... 26 Dec 1831 I believe.)

Anyway, any pointers would be greatly appreciated! I'm a complete novice. My daughter is a history buff and is very interested in learning about her family tree.

Linda, I have been researching Thomas Loomis, b. 1687/88d. m 12/jan. 1770, Bolton Ct. His first wife is listed as: Sarah. 2nd. wife, Mary Dart. Sarah's tombstone suppose to be the oldest in Bolton Cemetery. Do you know Sarah's Maiden Name,? Was it Hunter? Thank you for any info. you may be able to add.

He arrived with a man named Button and a man named Elijah Blackman . He and Elijah helped form the town of Oxford and is my several greats back, grandfather. I guess the Chenango area would be better named "Little Connecticut" by the names. :-) There is a wealth of Connecticut names on the Chenango Co. History website.

I am a decendant of the Lee family. My grandefather was Orrin Lee of Bolton Ct, born March 29, 1917 to Orrin and Alice Lee (maiden name Belcher). His siblings include Herbert Lee, Annabelle Lee, Elenor Lee. His father was also married before he married Alice and had the following children: Irene (Fanny) Lee, Ethel Lee, Ace Lee, Nathan Lee, Sarah and Mary Lee (and more children but I don't have all their names). I'm looking for any information on the Lee family, especially birth certficates for Orrin R Lee (my grandefather's father) or any other information that is available including birth/death certificates, obituries, property information, church records, etc.

Ferguson/Brace - I am looking for Jared Ferguson b: Feb 11, 1794 in Bolton, CT. In 1816 he married Annie Brace. Looking for parents, siblings, children.

Ralph COX married Hannah BISHOP 13 Jan 1756. It looks like they stayed in Bolton until around 1771, then moved to Becket, Berkshire Co., MA. They had 9 children in Bolton and a possible 3 or 4 more in Becket. (Names and b-dates available).
