T GENEALOGY y OF THE 0 00,1 1 ¥Q : 7^ P A \K Ivl I: 1^ "1, IN AMERICA. BY JOHN A. BOLLES, s <i*^.-»- BOSTOK: HENRY W. DUTTON & SOX. 1865. TO :MT AMERICAN KINS^IEN. 1557450 I HAVE now completed, as \vell as I have been able, the Bolles Genealogy. It has been the labor of my leisure hours for rauny years ; oft-times wearisome, and sometimes vexatious, attended with difficulty, perplexity, and expense ; yet, on the whole, pleasant, and in many instances productive of agreeable results, valuable acquaintances, and invaluable friendships. I almost regret the completion of this self-imposed task ; and to part with my manuscript, even to the printer with a view to its publication, is a sort of bereavement, not unlike that which we feel when our children leave us, to enter uj^on lives and homes of their own. Ajid yet I am glad that my task is done, and that I can now offer the fruits of my labor to those who are interested like myself in rescuing from oblivion the early records and the memory of our family. Our family record is one of which we have no reason to feel ashamed. If not many great, or famous names, adorn our annals, the pages of our history, unstained by vice and crime, are crowded with the names of the good, the just, the honest, and the true ; of excellent men and worthy women, whose memory, like that of the just, is blessed. To you, my American kinsmen, who feel interested in tracing the growth of our family, I need offer no apology for having entered on my work as genealogist. And yet most men are apt to regard such work as little better than itUeness. To look forward, and to care only for the future, is the almost universal practice ; — to "let the dead past bury its dead," is the prevailing principle, — of this busy and ever- hurried generation. How few of us pause to consider that our grand-children, whom we fondly love, will soon care as little for us, as we now seem to care for our grand parents, and remoter ancestors. None of us is, however, quite willing to die and be forgotten : — "For who, to dumb forgetfulness a prey, This pleasing, anxious, being e'er resigned. Left the warm precincts of the cheerful d.\y, Npr cast one longing, lingering, look behind !" This latent wish to be remembered is easily excited to action. In the course of my genealoiTical researches I wrote to one of our name for infoi-mation in regard to his parentage. He seemed to stand alone and disconnected from any known branch of our tribe, but his face bore the unmistakable Bolles ima"-e and superscinption. To my first letter he made no answer. Ills silence did not surprise me ; for in many other j instances I had already met with the like disappointment. I wrote again,* and my second letter was j answered by the statement that my correspondent knew the name of his father, but beyond that was wholly I ignorant of his ancestry. A thu-d letter secured a promise that he would write to the far-awav town of his i birth, and obtain, if possible, some fiirtl.er information. ^Months passed away, and no information came. I then made a journey of thirty miles to call in person upon this dilatory correspondent. I found him at * And here, once for all, I beg pardon of the multitudes of far-oflf cousins whom I have persecuted and bored with pertinacious inquiries, i and muliituJinous letter-, on the unprotitahle suhjwt of "endless genealogies," — hereby promising that I will no more distuib their patience | in like manner, altiiough 1 trust they will all, without delay, or further request on mypart. write to me. lO the ca.-e of rrv pnblisliei-s and ; friends, Messrs. H. SV. Duttoii & Son, Boston, Mass., and furuiih me witli ail corrections and additio'ns th.it a;ay be necdfiilto a second and j more peitcct edition of the Bolles Genealoirv. ; TO MY AMERICAN- K I N S M K N . home, — surrounded by his family, aiul, at t!io inonieiit \vc met, hoUling iii his arms a beautiful child of four years old, uf whom he was manifestly botii proud and fond. "Is it your son, ]\Ir. Bolle.-,"' inqnircil I. " No, sir," answered he, '' my grandson." " Do you love him ?'" lie ans^vercd by a hug and a kiss that rendered all words idle. " Do you believe he loves vou?" "Of course he does I Don't vou love crand-iia, darling ?" and little curly-head returned the embrace and caress. " And yet, ilr. Bolles,"' said I, — " and yet, ill forty yeai-s from now, if he follows your example, he will not even renicnd)er your namel"' My remark struck home to his conscience and his heart. "With tearful eyes he renewed his promise, and in three weeks from that tinie I received from him a document which enabled me to complete, by the addition of the one ncedliil link, the genealogical chain which connected him with our common ancestor of 1608. I I have studied my own history for the purpose of ascertaining, if possible, why I have departed from the j common indifference in regard to genealogical matters. At my graduation from Brown University, in 1820, I President Wayland requested me to write an oration on " The Memory of tJie Dead." Whac induced him to I assign to me such a topic I can only conjecture. But its effect upon my mind I can very distinctly remember. It taught me to look, backward, and to regard the past with unwonted interest. From that time I bcijan to i I care especially for the surviving patriarchs of our family, and for its records and traditions, ily father, Rev. i I Matthew Bolles, encouraged this disposition, and laid before me such memoranda as he had colkcted in regard to our ancestors; as did also rav uncle, Juda-e David Bolles. of Ashford, Conn., from whom I learned i much concerning the Bolles settlers of New London. In the State Department of ilassachusetts I j found among the Colonial records some traces of the family earlier than its settlement in Connecticut, and ' some indications of Its English relationships. These discoveries led to a careful examination of the early I records of towns, counties, colonies, and states ; and to a large correspondence with men bearing our name on both sides of the Atlantic. At last I found myself fairly committed to the enterprise of becoming the Bolles genealogist ; and under the influence of that pledge, I labored to perfect this work, and prepare it for the press. • The arrangement of ray materials became a matter of deep anxiety and careful study. I had never ! seen a genealogical work which was not confused and confusing ; but it seemed to me possible to overcome I this difliculty, and the result of my reflection was the plan adopted in this volume. My publishers pronounce ! it a success, and I trust that my readers will concur in that opinion. i ' I will endeavor to explain this method. On the magin of the page which contains the record of any name appear also the lineal male ancestors bearing the Bolles name as far back as Joseph Bolles the Englishman who founded our family on this Continent. Suppose that the Kev. Edwix A. Bolles of Orangeburg, S. C, wishes to learn who were his forefathers. He looks for his own name in the Index, and finds it recorded on p. 31 of the Genealogy. Turning to p. 31, he finds, by inspection of the margin, that he is the sr/7i of Abiel Bolle.s, who was bom in 1780 ; the granrhon of Jesse Bolles, who was born in 1749, and died in 1836 ; the great grandson of ExoCH Bolles, who was born in 171-5, and who died in 1800 ; the great-great grandxon of John Bolles, who was born in 1677, and who died in 1767 ; the great-great-grral grandson of Thomas Bolles, who was bom in 1644, and who died in 1727: and the great-great-great-gntii grandson of Joseph Bolles, who was bom in 1608, and who died in 1678. Any other name can be traced in like manner, and thus it is easy to discover the relationship, whether direct or collateral, of every person I named in this volume. TO MY AMERICAX KINSMEN. To ifr.

Danfortli, the printer; wlui lias .-^o neatly :inil ae<;ur;itely transfomicii my mami.script into print I t'e(>l dtn-ply imlehted, and I trust that all of my readers \yill unite in tills feeling. Having hecn occupied for the List three years and aiwlCin the military .-erviec of the United States, I have been unahh' tt> collect and receive many of the removals, births, marriages and deaths which have oceurreil I daring that eventful period. These omissions can only be supplied in a subsequent edition of mv book, j Each family in wliiih those changes have occurred will gratify nie by making tliom known in the way already suggested. I hope that I may thus hear from all who feel interested In this work. It is matter of regret on my part that I have been unable to establish the point of connexion between the English and American Bolleses. Perhaps some future inquiry or inquirer may be more successful. I | also regret that I have not succeeded in obtaining in all cases the full and exact information which I have attempted to procure from some branches of our American family.^ This failure is not owing to anv lack of j effort on my own part. It is incident, I suppose, to every inquiry so widely extended in time and space, and : I ought to wonder that my endeavors have been so well rewarded, rather than to repine, that some who have been harassed by my importunity have failed to give me all the information that I desired. Tiu; statements entertained in this little volume may be regarded as authentic, for 1 have, in every case, • consulted the best authorities, and have very seldom depended on anything but public records, an'l crio-inal j family registers, or the written declarations of the parties themselves in interest. I A brief Inspcctiou of this volume will show how widely our family is diffused. From the spot of its first | establishment on the coast of !Maine it has spread through every state and territorv of the Union, so that it i would bo no very ditfioult task for me to traverse the whole United States, findincr everv night a shelter j beneath the roof of kinsmen who bear our ancestral name, and who would, I am sure, be gl.ad to receive him | whose letters have, for many years, made known to them the writer of this Genealogy. To their kindness I now commend this product of my long continued, and never unwilling, labor. August, 1865. THE ENGLISH BOLLESES.

Illingworth, from whom I quote as above, informs us that Sir John Bolle lived in the reign of Elizalieth :iiid James, and was distinguished alike by bis learning and military exploits. For his gallant conduct in the Expedition of l."*OG against Cadiz, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth. During the adminis- tration of the Earl of Essex he served with distinction in Ireland, commanded at the taking of the castles of Donolong and Lifford, and was appointed Governor of Kinsale. His sons. Charles, John, and Edward, became conspicuous and honora- ble men. His portrait, by Zuch.Tro, >till exists, and an engraving of it may be seen in Illingvvortli.

The diti'erent coats of arms, iScc., of the English family, from liurkc's Eneyc. of Heraldry, Berry's Encycl. Heraldica, and other works on heraldry, exhibit the oiiginal unity of the Bolleses, Bowleses, tic., as well us the wide diffusion of the family throughout England, I have thus traced, as fully as I could, the oldest and the youngest of the six sons of John Bolle, Sheriff of Lincoln, 1477. The male issue of William, his third son, as already stated, is represented by Charles O. Bowles, Estp, of Nonh Aston, Oxford Co., but I have not llic interniediale genealogical links, nor have I the lineage of Robert, John, and Thomas, the three other sons of that distingui-hed ancestor. Perhaps one of these three is the ancestor of John Bolles of 'Wallingtun, who, in the ilst year of Henry VHL (l.J.jO) was Sheritf of the County of Herts, and who m. Anne, dau. of John Da\en- ish of AVeston. in that Co.— ( 'Ch'tferbi'f/:'s His*, of Herts. Hmi. MSS..\h()\. -p. 9.) This John Bolles of "Wallington, had at least seven children, one ( Elizabeth ) m.

Esi]., anil had an only dau. and heir, who m. Sir John S[iencer of Althor[ip, and that from them are descended the Dukes of Marlborough. Thomas was her brother, not her father.* A fourth child (George Bulles of AVallingford) m.

BOLLES GEXEALOGY. CHAPTER I. Section I. JOSKVH BOLLES, 1608—1678. The first of our name who came from England to America was Joseph TjOLLES, the precise period and place of whose arrival, I have been unable to a.scertain. In the year 1G40, the earliest date wliich I can lind connected with his name, he was ena:aged in tra<Ie ut 'Winter Harbor, near the mouth of the Saco river, in the then Province of Maine. — (Folsom's History of Biddeford and Saco, p. bo.) The records of the General Court of Maine for 16-10 con- tain this passage : — ".Joseph Bollcs hath presented to the Grand Inquest, Thomas Heard, for being dnaik, and threatening iiim with many violent words to break open the store. He (the delinquent^) further declareth that he received his drir.k at the iiouse of W™ Scadhick." Mr. Bolles afterwards removed to Wells, Me., (Id. p. 58,) where he held the office of Town Clerk from 1654 to 10G4, during which period his dwelliiig-iiouse, aud the first volume of the town records, were burned by Indians. — ( J orA County Register, VoL XII.. p. 25y.j The following cop}' of his Aimily record is from his autograph in the VTells town records : The ages of Mr Jos: Bolles was borne in Feb: 1608 And Mary Bolles his wife in M.areh 1624 Mary Bolles their daugh"' borne 7 Augs' 1C41 Tho; Bolles his oldest sonne first Desemb 1G44 Sam: Bolles was borne 12 March 1C46 Hafl.ih Bolles Xoveb 25 was borne 1619 Eliz: Bolles was borne 15 day Jar.u: 1G52 Joseph Bolles was borne in ilarch 15"' 1654 Sara Bolles was borne 20 Janury 1657 Mercy Bolles was borne 11 Agstt 1661 I have been led to conjecture that Jlrs. Bolles was a daushter of Morgan Howell, who owned land at Cape Porpoise, and who devised and bequeathed to Mrs. B. and her children all his estate and property, and appointed her Executrix gl of his will, Nov. 17, 1666.— r Vork Co. Reg., II. 120, and IV. 3 and 49. J -^1 Mr. Bolles died at "Wells, Me., in the Fall of 1678. His will bears date Sept. 18ih, of that year, and was admitted o' to probate in November. 1673. At the end of this Section I insert the Will, and the Inventory of his real and personal ^^ propertv. His whole family survived !iim, and ilrs. Bolles was living in 1684; after which I know nothing of her his- ? , tory. He was a large land owner. At his death Iiis real estate, reduced already by divers grants to his children, was '■r \ appniised at £5.30. Various circumstances show that he was. a man of high character and standing, universally respected p[ and honored. In July, 1653, Commissioners of Massachusetts held a Court at Wells, and appointed him "Clerk of the Writts, with power to grant Warrants, Attachments,"' &c. — (Mass. Colonial Records, Vol. IV. pp. 142-3.J In 1660, tho King having restored to the Gorges family what had been usurped by Massachusetts, Archdale, Gorges's Agent, came to jiaine v.ilh commi-=sions for various persons, and amoni; others Mr. Bolles, as Counsellors and Magistrater. In 1664, Sir Ferdinando Gorges, grandson of tlie origin.al Patentee, commissioned "Sundry of his loving friends," including Mr. Bolles, " as Deputies and C<jmmissioners f(jr the government of the Province of Ma;ne.'' — ( York Vo.

Hannah and Sarah married ; the one (wliich. does not apjiear), a Mr. Becke, and the other a Mr. Ch.adbourne. I cannot trace any of the married dapghiers except Mrs. Frost. Of Mr. BoV.cs's sons, Joseph married Mary . and died at Wells, Sept. 25, 1683. His v.ife survived him. and administered^ upon his estiite. They had no child.

Tliomas, the oldest son, I removed from Wells. Ms., to New London, Conn., a? related in Section 11. I In all cases where I find his name written tij his own hand it is spelled Bolles. But copyisrs, recordinir officers, and oilier persons out of the family, spell it capriciously, and in many ditferent way. The blundering ingenuity of clerks in regard to this name is curiously illustrated by the town reconls of Ip-wich, Jfa's., and by the Regi.-tries of Deeds and of Probate, of Esse.t County, Mass., in regard to the I;)swich BoUc'^l-. who were somehow rela'ed to the family at ! Wells, Maine. Upon those records and registries the name is variously written as BouLt, Bowls, Botctes, Boals, Bolls, "-5 BOLLES GENEALOGY. SECTION I.

It is ditlicult to lind a lovelier landscape tiiau that v.iiich greets tiie eye from this eliarniin!i elevation: aTul nothing can be (dea-anter to the eye of the traveller tlian the grace- ful accent from the banks of the Thames of the waving wooils and fertile tields of l5olle>"s Hill. Gov. Wintluop gave Mr. Bolles a number of young ajiple trees which he had imported from England, and from those trees m_v father (IJcv. ^Matthew Bolh's) the great-great-grandson of Thomas Bolles gathered fruit. Mr. Bxilles purchased a portion of BoUes's Hill from Owaneco, son of Uncas. and Sachem of the JMohican Indians. Mr. William Bolles (who descends from Thomas, through John. Jo^lula, and Hezekiah BoUcs) now living on part of this ancestral hill, has Owaneco's receipt for the final payment on account of this purchase, dated Oct. 14, IG'JO; signed "Owaneco, his niarke." The receipt is attested by two witnesses, and certified by " Kich't Christophers, Commissioner.'* Mr. Bolles, eontrarv to the trailition entertained by many of his descendants, was married three times: 1st, to Zip- poriih Wheeler of Groton, Conn., July 1, lliiiO, by whom he had three children, Mary, Joseph, and .Mm. 2d, to Bebecca, daughter of !Malthew Wnller of Xew London, who died without issue, Feb. 10. 1711-12. 3d, to Hopestill, widow of Nathaniel Ch'tppell. bv whom he had no child, and who survived him, dying in 1753. aged about 1)0. — (Miss CaiMiiis's Hist, of Xew London ; Xew London Jiecords.) Mr. Bolles died in New London, intestate, ilay 20, 1727, in his 84th vear, and his grave-stone may yet be seen, where I have often visited it. in "the old burial ground." His three children were, Miri/. born lG7o ; Joseph, horn lG7d ; and John, born Aug. lt')77. On the evening of .June G. 1678, ^lary and .Joseph, with their mother Zip[iorali, were murden-d bj- a boy named .John Stoddard. All the legal records and proceedings in regard to these murders will be found appended hereto. The account of this tragedv given by Miss Caulkin-. in her excellent History of New London, is sub-taiuially correct. I have seen and collated a contemporaneous record of the transaction in the original Diary of Rev. Simon Brad.-trett, of the fir~t pari-h in New London, from which I co[iy, verbatim et literatim, some passages: "June G. jVbout sun- sett Mr. Thomas BuCes his (BoUes's) wife and two children were murdered here in New London by an Indian or Indians."' " Cut 'ometime after this God was pleased very strangely to discover the niurtherer who was a young lad named John vStoddard." . . . "one who has been a rebellious and disobedient wretch to his parents al his dayes, &c." '* The fir-t cause of suspecting him was his attempting to murther his brother in law, about a year old, or some- thing better. He gave him two or three blows with an axe, and, as he thought, let't him dead, informing the neighbors tliat some Indians h.ad done it : but u])on examination ownd and confe^^t the fact, also the other murthers." The Indian tir-t siisjiected of the Bolles murders was Kesuckquancli, a ^Mohican, who had been at Mr. BoUes's house ju-t before the murder. The record of his examination, ;ind those of Keweebhunt, Nucquiltaty and his Sipiaw, who fir.-t discovereil the crime, are preserved in the office of the Secretary of .State of Connecticut. I have carefully studied the originals, and also the examination, confession, indictment, ttc. of young Stoddard, tlie real murderer, some of <vliich in part, and some of which in full. I juhjoin hereto. Stoddard in his confession says that he came to 3Ir. BoUes's house that evening (.June G, 1G78) his mother and step-father living near by, — asked ^Mr^. Bolles for a night's lodging, and was refu-ed. "Then he ownetli," says the confession, " that he drew the latch and came into the house, and took an axe that stood by the wall, and strooke the said ^Mrs. Bowles on the head (as she satt on the stoole nei>re y« Bedde's feete, with the child in her lap.) with which blow she fell on the flore, (by some venyson that lay there). Then he strooke her another blow on the head; then he strooke the girl on the head as she stood by the dore, and then strooke the little bov on the head, &c." . . . "when he went from the house to the highway homewards." Keweebiiunt, Nucquiltaty and his squaw, state that they came to the house just after dark, and found Mrs. Bolles and one child dead on the floor, and the other child wounded and gasping on the threshold. They hurried into town to give the alarm. At the Hartiord Court. October, 1078, Stoddard was indicted, tried and convicted of the murder of Mrs. Bolles and her two children. He was sentenced to death, and was hung "on the 0"' day of October, after the lecture.'' Mr. Bolles was much employed in town affairs, and tor nearly twenty years was in the Commission of the Peace. — (Caidliiis. 3C.S-9.J He was of the "standing order" in religion, and educated .Tohn. his only surviving chiM, "in the rresbyterian way." — ( See .Tohn Bolhs's "True Liberty of Consrienee. Sfc," p. 2').) In 1 073, a considerable betjuest was made to New London by Knbert Bartlett, for the education of children. The fii-st Bartlett Committee chosen by the town to manage this property wiis elected in 1C'J8, and Mr. Bolles was fir.--t on the list. — ( <.\inlkins. 3'J7-8.j JI.-.

Since receivinj,' your letter, I have made t'uillier search ot' the tiles of the early Conrl~, and find several dipositions and exaininaiiuns made in this ca~e.

Suhseiiuently the nuirdi r of a brother of tkis John Slodder, and the su-picion attueii- ing to the latter ot' beini the perpetrator of the crime, led the anthorities to .-u?pect his participation in the murder of Mrs. Bowles. On beimi examined, he confessed the crime.

P. C. Matoek, Secretari/ of State. I have myself taken notes of the examinations of Kesuckquanch and others, from the files in the Secretary's otlice, and they are as follows : 1. Examination of Kesuckquancii. "I had been himting that d.jy — left my gun at TVhecler's — called at Mr. BoUes's and demanded a pint of liquor, which Keweebhunt said Mr. U. would give me if I went there. Mrs. B. tj i replied she had no licpior in the house, neither did she use to sell liquors. TJien went to Thos. Williams's house and sold him a quarter of Veui>on for a ([uart of rum. As I came back, met Xeweebhunt about sunset or a little after, half way between Thos. AV.'s and Mr. B.'s house — ran all the way to town — saw no Indians till I came into town to the Company between IMr. Wheeler's and Mr. Lattimore's. They gave me food. When I was done eating, the alarm was given that 3Lrs. B. and her children were killed." When lirst seized in the night, Kesuckquanch said, " What is the matter you lay hold of tne ? Is Thos. BoUes's wife and cialdren dead ?" Being asked why he so said, he gave no reason. Being asked whether he did not know who killed ihe woman and children, he answerid he '• did not certainly know, but the old man might do it." Mr. Bolles was abs*-nt from home at the time of the murders. He was then in his o4th year. Could Kesuckf(uanch have referred to him sls '"the old man?" 2. Examination of Keweebhunt.

This belief is exjiresscd in some homely verses, limiyan-like in sound, which his grand dau<_'iiter, .Mrs. Berg, (dau. of Enoch liolles,; quoted to m& in ISGl, from one of hi.s •'books," whose title she could -not remember: — " Kind rctifler, here I offer thcc a book, Pesiriug thee therein iu love to look; 'Tis for no wisdom, nor no college phrase That I bestow this book, thereby to praise. I forruerly JiJ lose a teuJer mother; I also haii a sister and a brother; My mother she was murdered with the rest. And I, a babe, found sucking at her breast: Yet was my life preserved by God's Almighty hand. Who since has called me forth for his great truth to stand." Under the spur of this conviction he devoted himself to the great cause of religious freedom, encountering op[)0- sition and per-ecution, and suffering tines, imprisonments and beating with many stripes. I have befure me a copy of the record of proceedings in .July, 172.J, before Joseph Backus. Esq., a niagi.-trate of Norwich. Conn., against Andrew Davis, John Bollcv-, and his son, Joseph BoUes, (a young man of --'.J years.) John Kogers, (the younger,) Sarah Culver and others, eharged with Sal)bath-bre:ikitig; by which it appears that for going on Sunday from Groton and New London to attend Baptist worship iu Lebanon, they were arrested on Sunday, impri-oned till the next day and then heavily fined, the sentence being that if tine and eo^ts were not paid, they should be flogged on the bare back for non-payment of line, and then lie in jail till payment of costs. As none of thein wotdd pay, they were all flogged, the woman as well as the men — John Bolles receiving fifteen stripes — and each of the others ten. According to the statement of one of the sufferers, Mary Mann of Lebanon wished to be immersed, and api)lied to I I John Kogers. (the younger.) and his Society for baptism. Notice was publicly posted some weeks beforehand thai on a certain ^fondav, Julv 2(j, 1725, she would be bajitized and tiiat a religious meeting would be held in Lebanon on Sundav, Julv '2'), ''the d;iy" (says Rogers) ''on which we usually meet, as well as the rest of our Neighbors." AYhen the Sunday came, a company of Bajitists. men and women, from Groton and New London, set out for Leb- anon by the county road which led through Norwich. The passage through Norwich was so timed a-, not to inter- fere \vith the hours of public worship. After they had passed through the village they were pursued and stopjied. brought back to Norwich, imprisoned until 3Ionday. and tiien tried, convicted and sentenced for Sabliath-breaking. It must be added that the woman who was thus stripped and tlogged was pregnant at the time, and that the magis- trate who ordered the whipping stood by and witnessed the execution of his sentence. This outrage w.as much talked of throughout New England, and led to the publication of divers proclamations and pamphlets. Deputy Governor Jenks of Rhode Lland, the following January, having obtained a copy of the proceedings against Davis, ordered it to be publicly posted in Providence to show the people of Rhode I-land "what may be expected from a Presbyterian Government," and appended to it an indignant ollicial proclamation. I copy the entire hand- bill :— "Here folio weth a Copy of a Record of the proceedings of a Justice's Court, held in Norwich in July last, with one of John Rogers his" (Rogers's) " brethren, who, together with him and several otiiers, I am informed were goi:ig on the First Day of the AVeek from New London and Groton to a religious meeting at Lebanon, in order to Baptise, or see a person Baptised, &c-, and were all appreliended as Malefactors and unmercifully whipped.

There seems to be a son of poetical justice in the fact tliat Justice Backup's grandson, a cliild of eigiiteen months at the date of this tloggin", became himself a Baptist preacher, and the historian of the Bajni-Is. Mr. Bollcs sutlered many otlier hard^liips at tlie liand of the law, some of whrch he has commemorated in his "books." I Lave a volume containing tliree of his productions, viz.: 1.

"to be bv him delivered to their several Associations, desiring them to peruse tliem and answer them." &c. ; a copy of which Objections is set out in the Application, .and requesting the General Court to call a general Association for the consideration of these Objections. In tliis pamphlet he mentions various instances of cruel persecution to which he and his friends had been subjected. He eiids the "book" with these words: — " But we, on our parts, have h;id the witness of a "-ood Conscience towards God in all our Sufferings, and Loss of all these Things, and do niake it our Care to live inof- fensively towards all men. except in the ca>e of Daniel, Chap.

I have another of his "books'' called " Good itfus from a Far Country," whose areument is to prove that the Civil Government "have no Authority t'rom God to .Judge in Cases of Conscience;" to which is added "An An- swer to an Election Sermon preached by Nathaniel PZells." This double pamphlet was printed at Newport. E. I., 1749. Another of his works in my possession, "printed for Joseph Bolles. 17J7," discourses " concerninir the Christian Saljbath," and advocates the seventh day tenet. Ho pu'tli.-hed many other "books," as he loved to. call them; and from 170.S to 1754 liardly a year elapsed without his thus assailing the abuses of the established church, and vindicating the great princi[>le of "soui-libeny." Once a year, as a general rule, he mounted his hor-e. with saddle bags stutfed full of "books," and rode from Co'itity to County chaileniring di-cussion, invitin:r the "Presbv- terian Elders '' to meet him. nian-f'a.-hion, in argument, or confers and abandon their errors.

This la-t exploit, a horseback ride of 200 miles in his 77th year, may be regarded as a tit climax to a Ion" life of zealous etfort in tlie oau-<.' of truth. From Mr. Bolles's Application to the General Court I copy these passages: — "And as he (.John Rogers) saith hitherto, so may we say now.

But after her Kelease, she was carried liome on her i Bed in a Cart, and after some Time she was, thro' God's Goodness restored to Health again." — (Pp- 14-17.^ I My edition of Mr. lioUcs's "True Liberty of Conscience" has lost its title page, but Irom many passages therein ; it is manifest that the date must be later than 175G. At p. 103. he ret'ers to his having gone '"to the Genera! i Court at Hartford, and al>o to the General Court at Boston," "in the year 1754;" and says, "1 have published \ three treatises already, touching these things; but there has been no answer made to any; and this is the fourth." ! I quote al^o. in full, the passage from this little volume which relates to Mr. Bolles's conversion. He say.s, p. 25, , '• But before I go any further, I think it not ami.-s to give some account of my own life from my infancy, and of ! God's dealing towards me ; as David saith, Psal. Cfi, IG. That was his exiierience of Giod's goodness towards j him. And as to myself, my father lived about a mile out of New London town ; and my mother wa^ at home i with only three little children, I being the youngest, (about 10 months old.) she with the other two were murdered ' by a youth .about 10 vcars of age, who was afterwards executed at Hartlbrd; and I was found, (as was said.) at my ' dead mother's breast. And since in the course of my life God hath preserved me out of many eminent dangers, | when there was but a hair's breadth between me and death, which I have a particular remembrance of to this day ; I and the most of tliem by water. And I was .brought up in the Presbyterian way till I was about thirty years old, : and had four or five children, but baptised none; for reading the Scriptures, and as my age gave me understand- | ing to consider what I read, it aiijieared to me by the .Scriptures that we must first believe before we were bap- ' tised. and in our baptism we must be buried in water. And now, living to this age in the neglect of baptism, my \ conscience accused me. so that I read the Scriptures that I might be fully informed what was for me to do. And \ the more I read them I was confirmed in my first belief, and accordingly was baptised by John Rogers, a Baptist I teacher. And now. as I had made a profession thus far, and going on in my Christian juogress, I found no com- I mand in Scripture for the first day Sabbath; and therefore began to work upon it. not thinking that the civil j authoritv would rise up against me. For tho' I was baptised by said Rogers, and joined in fellowshiji with that i people that had suffered much for conscience sake, by Whipping, imprisoning, .and setting in the stocks, and loss of | goods, and particularly for working on the first day of the week, yet of late they had not been mole-ted as at the first, \ though they work't as freely, and openly: but I was soon presented" (by the grand jury) "and brought before the ' authority, and fiiuil, and then they would let me alone till after three first-days, and then send for me. and fine. me. , for three days together. And now as the battle grew hotter, God gave me more courage, and I gre^^*stronger and | stronger, that what was said of Israel under the oppression of Pharaoh, and the Egyptians, was very lively whh ] me, (Exod. 1, 12,) and also that of the house of Saul .and David, (2 Sam., 3, 1,) and so it h.as proved between me j and the Aiuhority. for the consolation that I injoyed, set me over the loss of my goods," . . . '"for God gave I me such a chearfid spirit in this warfare, that when I had not the knowledge that the grand-jury man saw me at ! work on said day. I would inform against myself before witness, till they gave out, and let me plow, and cart, and do whatsoever I have occasion to this day." — (Pp- 25-6-7-8.^ | His study of the New Testament convinced him that slaverj- is unchristian, and he manumitted .all Ids slaves; providing generously for their support, and watching, all his life long, over their welfare. It is no extravagant j eulogy to say that .John Bolks was a great and a good man: and I deem it alike strange and discreditable to his immediate descendants, that no monument marks his grave and no man knows where he is buried. It is worthy j of notice, as indicating the extn'.ordinary vigor and energy of the man and of tlie constitution which he tran.-mit- ted to bis children, that nearly all of them reached a great old age; that he himself died in his 90th year; that the four last of his fourteen children were born after he was CO years of .age ; th.at .Samuel, (".Sam Uncle,") the fourteenth and last, born w lien the father was 67, altaineil to almost 99 ye.ars ; and that Sanmel's son John died at the age of 90.

Ho was one of the number whipped at Norwich in 172d, by order of Ju.-tice Uackus, for violating llie Sabbath by going to a Baptist religious meeting. His wife's Christian name was INIartha, but the family name, and the date of marriage, I cannot ascertain. Indeed, as to the marriage, the public records would contain no evidence, inasmuch as !Mr. .Joseph ]]olles wfis one of those extreme Kogerines who, regarding marriage as a. religious covenant, and not a civil contract, deemed it a sin to conform to the requirements of what he considered as an unjust law. There is a tradition in the family that Governor Saltonstall. (Uev. Gurdon Saltonstall of New Loudon.) wlio had a high regard for Mr. and ^Irs. Bollcs. contrived to marry them without their suspecting it. The story has been told of so many that I doubt its authenticity, though it is not improbable, and is too good to be lost. It is said tliat after Mr. and Mrs. B. had had one or two children, and had been threatened by "Some rude fellows of the baser sort" with prosecution, the Governor one day invited himself to dine with friends .Joseph and ^Nlanha. As the dinner went on, " Friend Gurdon," in easy conversation, verv' adroitly led both !Mr. and !Mrs. 15. severally to declare that they had taken each other as man and wile in a life long union, and regarded themselves bound by the marriage covenant before God and man. As 3Irs. B. assented to her husband's declaration, with her smiling " Yea, yea," the Governor rose to his feet and spreatling out his hands exclaimed, " By virtue of my otlice as civil magistrate, and as minister of God, I deelai'e you lawful man and wife 1" "Ah, friend Guidon," said Jo.-eph, " thou art a cunning creature !"

M., on the Norwich roail, two or three miles from to>vt]. She lay under a wtdl. heavy stones from which had Ijeen thrown down upon her body. After a day or two su-picion was directed to the Indian girl — Hannah Oc-cu-i-h — a Fequod, IciS than 13 years old — who lived with a widow woman near by. On examination she confessed the crime. It was .a case of cruel and malicious murder, growing out of a di.-putc that occurred in a strawberry field a lew days before. The fierce young savage, nursing her wrath, and watching an opportunity for revenge, at length came upon her victim, on her way to school alone, and after coaxing and alluring her into a wood, fell upon her, and beat her to death.

Stephen; 3. Siismi ; 4. Frederick!).; 5. William; 6. Fanny; 7. Edwin; 8. Charles; 9. Mary; 10. Franllin ; and 11. Thomas. Mr. Bolles owned considerable land in the city of New London. In 1786, Union Street war-, opened through his land, and he himself laid out and opened Jlasonic Street at the same time. Part of his citv land went by the name of " Bolles's Hill." but must not be confounded with Bolles's, sometimes called Quaker, Hill, nortli of the city, on which our aneotur, Thomas Bolies, settled, as stated in .Sect. IL Miss Caulkins, in her History of New London, states that the Cunjrregational Society, abandoniu'-' the old Saltonstall meeting-house, began to build a new house in 178o, in a more central and accessible site, on Stephen Bolles's land (15olles's Hill) having bougiit a lot of Mr. Bolles, for £7.'» ; Sir. Bolles throwinir in £25 of this amount as his contribution towards tlie church. — (Caulkins, 591, G27.J It is remarkable th.at the first sermon preached in this new church was that occasioned by the murder of little Eunice Boiler by the Indian girl Hannah Oc-cu-ish, Dec. 20, 1786, as already related in Sect. IV. The children of Stephen Bolles were born, &c., as follows : ISAAC BOLLES, 1787—1814. C u < Isaac Bolles, first child of Stephen and Susan Bolles, b. Oct. 9, 1787. He was by trade a paper stainer, and lived anil died in Hartford, Conn.

His widow afterwards married Philemon Canficld of Haitford, Conn. Isaac Xfwton Bolles, first child of Isaac and Deidamia Bolles, was bom Oct. 13, 1812, and is a printer in Ilartlbrd, Conn. Celia Bolles, second child of Isaac and Deidamia Bolles, was bom June 5, 1814; m. Kichard Kirk- ham, April 15, 1835, and d. April, 1836. THE ROXBURY BOWLESES. This interm.irriage of Isa-ic Bolles and Deidamia Bowles is the only instance I know of a marriage connection between these two branches of the old English family of Bolles. By the kindness of J. "Wingate ThoriUon, Escp, of Boston, Mass., I am enabled to give the following genealogical sketch of the Roxbury Bowleses: — .JOHN ilO^V'LIiS, of England, was a member of the Massachusetts Company and gave them £25, in Jlarch, 1029. He was in Roxbury as early as 1640. lie was a founder of the Grammar School; Representative; Member of the Artillery C'om[)any, 1645; and Elder of the Church.

ENOCH BOLLES, 1715-1800. li o Oi Enoch Bolles, ninth child of John Bolles and Sarah Edgecombe, was bom in New London, Conn., Oct. 20, 1715, where he resided until his death, Dec. 3, 1800. He was a saddler, harness-maker, an<l farmer, living on Bolles Hill,^ and devoutly adhering to the tenets of the Rogerine Quakers — in religious matters — though free from all of their otiensive and Ishmaeliti-h peculiarities of conduct. He inherited none of the proselyting ze:al of John Bolles, his father, but was an example of a peace-loving, quiet, exemplary chri-tian. He wa^ twice married, l^t to Hannah Moore, Nov. 2. 1738, by whom he had ten children, and'who died ilarch 18, 1765 ; and 2d, to widow Lucy Wheeler, daughter of Charles Thompson, who bore him four children, all girls, survived him, and dieil 3Iarch 21, 1812. I have his aulograi>li family record. One of his sons became a Bap- tist clergyman, one of thern a Methodist class leader, and four of them Baptist deacons. As already stated, Mr. Bolles's first wife w.xs Hannah Moore. Her two niece-, Mirgaret M,ore and Susannah M<ore. married, the one Samuel Bolles, Enoch's brother, and the other David Bolles, Enoch's son, so that the children of David Bolles were iloubI\- indehti.-d to the Moore blood. The Moores were a remai-kably long-lived nice, and were distinguished by extraordiiiary vigor ot' both body and mind. 24 BOLLES GENEALOGY. SECTION XII JOSKl'H BOLLES, KOS— 1678.

Haktfoi!d, C'o-NX.." which were read by Dr. T. as sermons .ifler the dedication of the new church edifice, May, 18-30: "Tiiere was no man, perhaps, to whom our church, in tlic early jieriod of its. history was more indebted than John Bolles. He was every way a remarkable man; not, indeed, that he possessed extraordinary powers of mind, or was fitted, by any splendid ac<iuiremeiit, to attract the admiration of the world; but he exhibited a rare combination of Christian gifts and graces. He was a Nathanael indeed, in whom there was no guile. And yet. shrewd beyond mo>t men, he never failed to command the respect of his aciiuaintances. Everybody loved him. Decided in liis ]>rinciples, his soul overflowed with love and charity. Easy, nimble, cheerful, he was ready to every good word and work. He lived for others. The young, especially, loved him. Tiie ageil, ami abo^e all. the poor, hailed him as their friend. He was perpetually uevi:-ing soiuetliing for the benefit of tlie church, or the good of souls. How or when lie wa.> converted, he could not tell. His parents were pious, and had brought him up iu the fear of Ciod. and in early lite, he had given his heart to Christ ; but all he could say about it was that God had been gracious to him, and as he hoped, brought him into his fold. On the relation of hi.s experi- ence before the church in Sutneld, the brethren, on this very account, hesitated to receive him; but the pastor, Rev. John Ha-tings, shrewdly i-emarked, that it was evident that Mr. Bolles icas in the way. and that this iciis more importunt tltua the question, when or hij whut means he got in to it ; upon which they unani- mously received him. He was very hajipy in his connection with the church in Suflield. The members were all his friends. He would often start from Hartford at midnight, and arrive in .Sulliehl at carh" dawn on Sabbath morning, when they were making their tires, and sur|>rise them by his pleasant salutation. After breakfa-t, and family praynr, all hands woidd go to church together. Of cenrse, he was efpially at home with the church in Hartibrd, and spent nuich of his time in visiting, especially the poor of tlie flock. He had a kin<l word and .a ready hand for every one. One severe winter, a fearful snow storm had raised the roads to.a level willi the tops of the fences. A certain widow Burnham lived all alone just on the outer edge of P2ast Hartford. The Deacon was anxious about her; he was afraid that she niiglit be covered with the snow, and sutlcring fVom want. He [iroposeil to vi^it her; but his friends thought it perilous to cross the meadows; but being light of foot he re^olvcd to attempt it. The weather was cold and the .-r.ow slightlj- crusted on the top. By means of tliis he succeeiled, with some effort, in reaching the widow's house. As he su]vposed, he found it covered with snow to the chimneys. He made his way into the house, and found the good ^ister without fire or water. He cut paths to the wood-pile and to the well, and asjisted her to make a fire and put on the tea-kettle. He then cut a path to the pig-pen and sup[>lied the wants of the hungry beast, by which time breakfast was ready. After breakfast, he read the Word of God and prayed, and was ready to start for home. In the meanwhile, the sun had melted the crust of snow, and as he was passing through the meadows, he broke through. He tried to scramble out, but failed. He .--liouted, but there was no one to hear him. Tiie wind began to blow keeidy ; and he did not know but that he mu-t remain there all night and perish with cold. But he committed him^elf to God, and sat down for shclli.r on the lee-?ide of his temporary prison. He tiiialh" made a de.-perate effort, succeeded in reaching the ed^e, and found to his joy, that the freezing wind had hardcued the surface of I he snow, which enabled him to make his way home. '• On a iili-a>ant Sabljath morning, some seventy years ago, mitrht be seen a little group, wemling their way from Hartford, througii the green wools and meadows of the Connecticut valley, towards ilie little church on Zion"s Hill. Among them was a man of small stature, something like Zaccheus of olii, of erect gait, briglit eye and agile movement. Tiiough living eighteen miles from Sutlield, he was wont, on plea-ant days, to walk the whole 'li-tanee, beguiling the way with devout meilitation ; or if some younger brother chose to accom[)any him. with pleasant talk about the things of the kingdom. Tiiis was Deacon Jnhii Bolles, brotiier of Ilev. D.ivid Bcdies, and uncle of the late excellent Uev. Matthew Bolles, and of Dr. Lucius. Bolles, so well known in connection with the cause of i'ori'ign missions. 31 B0LI.E3 GENEALOGY. SECTION XII. J? £? JOSEPH nOLLES, ICilS— 16TS._ ^llOMAS UOLLII.S, 1G44— 17:i:. JOHN nOLLES, 1677—1767.

One of his dcscciiihuils informs me that "'after being three times burnt out in ?>Iaine, by the Ir.dir.n-^. he moved fir>t to Clark's Island, in Ilo-lim Harbor, and next to Roche-ter. Ma--., where he clianged lands witli Samuel Hammond, and that his house was about two miles nortii of JIattapoisett Village." He and liis wife were living in 1713. In June, 1712, they conveyed to Henry Flint of Cambridge "000 acres of land, situated in New Dartmouth, alias Shcep- scot, commonly known bv the name of Dyer's Xeck. or ^^'ossacmac, which said neck of land," says the deed, "was foimerly granted bv Ivor.ix Hood. Sngomore of the said Xassacmnc. unto Willi;im Dyer, father of the said JIary." — (York County Rcj. of Uecth, Book \b. pofjc 'I'lA). In 1713, they conveyed to Samuel Hammond of Rochester 310 acres of land, '• lying in the township of Wells." — (Book S. p>iffe 120.)
