I have a Bolton ancestor in Owen Co., IN. I just discovered that the township of Marion that he lived in was founded by people from Grayson Co., VA. Upon checking out the website I discovered no Boltons but I did find the surname of Bolt. I'm wondering if there is any possibility there might be a connection. Here are my Boltons: Direct Descendants of John Bolton 1 Bolton, John b: in Germany ... 2 Bolton, Lewis b: 1/21/1805 in Germany d: 8/09/1858 in Owen Co., IN ...... +Bateson, Eliza b: 4/02/1810 in Huntingdon Co., PA? m: Abt. 1831 in Clay Twp., Knox Co., OH d: 2/18/1872 in Owen Co., IN Father: Henry Bateson, Jr. Mother: Elizabeth Laramore ........ 3 Bolton, James b: Abt. 1833 in Knox Co., OH? d: Bef. 1909 in Arcola, Douglas Co., IL ........... +Marriott, Elizabeth Jane b: 5/22/1836 in Licking Co., OH m: 1868 in Columbus, Franklin Co., OH d: Abt. 4/30/1909 in Arcola, Douglas Co., IL Father: William Waters Marriott Mother: Julia Ann Campbell ............. 4 Bolton, Alva Odis b: 2/23/1877 in Bowling Green, Clay Co., IN d: 5/31/1954 in Champaign, Champaign Co., IL ................ +Daugherty, Maud Lulu b: 7/17/1886 m: Abt. 1900 in Charleston, Coles Co., IL d: 4/21/1906 in Champaign, Champaign Co., IL Father: Alexander C.
