SAMUEL, born about 1678. His wife was Ann. His will, which was at the Four Courts, Dublin, until destroyed, and shows him to have been a thrifty, prosperous farmer, was signed 14 June, 1718, and entered for probate 9 Sept. 1719. This year and more which elapsed between the date of his will and his death would indicate that he had a long siege of illness. This will - almost the only early document of a personal nature connected with the Ulster family yet found - was copied only a few months before the Dublin Four Courts or Record Offices were blown up by the besieged republican rebels in June, 1922. This is Samuel Bolton's will: "The last will & test. of Samuel Boulton who is in full sences & mem. this 14 day of June 1718. "I leave to my wife Ann boulton all my house & ploughing & all my horses & Cows & sheeps & ye land with the Cropp & I leave to my brother John foure pounds & to my brother Hugh foure pounds & to my brother William foure pounds & to my brother Thomas foure pounds to John I leave my boots to Hugh the bigge Chaien to William my best britches to Thomas my best Coate & vest & to my sister Agness I leave four pounds & my Coat & vest. & I do alow my wife to give my sister a pair of blankets & I leave to my brothers son John Boulton my horse furneter & my best bige Coate & to Daniell Stuarts four children I leave ten shillings to each of them & I doe allow my wife to give Margaret Stenston a hefer of two years old & I do allow what ever Charges shall be spent on Doctors & administering to be taken Equally from Every man's share Now these things I Charge you to dow orderly & decently hereinto I set my hand & seall" "Will signed 14 June 1718 Witnesses John Hullton or Hilton William Caskey Samuel Bolton's last will entred September ye 9th 1719." It is of interest to note that Mrs. Ann Bolton's brother-in-law, Thomas Bolton, had four children, and each of these named a daughter Ann. Possibly she showed a marked affection for her nephew and nieces. She may have come to New England to live, unless she was the widow Bolton living in Tamlaght O'Crilly parish in 1740. (Prot. householders, no. 1135.)
