THOMAS, born about 1678, was at Sudbury, Massachusetts, in 1723, and was dead in 1735 if Agnes Bolton, who married there Hugh Riddle in that year, was his widow. His parentage is merely a surmise, and the same may be said of his brother William. THOMAS BOLTON was born about 1678, in Londonderry, or perhaps in the Bann valley, the son of James (No. 3). He first appears at Stow, Massachusetts, as a sentinel in 1723 and 1725 (Mass. Archives). He seems to have died before 9 Oct. 1735, when Mrs. Agnes Bolton, presumably his widow, married Hugh Riddle of Londonderry, New Hampshire, at Sudbury, Massachusetts. Riddle came from "Ballymeath," County Derry . No town of this name exists, and if Ballymenagh in the Parish of Desertoghill is meant, he was a neighbor in Ireland of the Boltons. They lived at Bedford, New Hampshire.
