BOULTON OF ADDINGHAM

Information on this family is limited as there seem to have been multiple individuals named Thomas Boulton or Bolton in the area at the time.

Thomas Boulton and Jennet Brogden were married at Bingley on 4 December 1620 but Jennet wife of Thomas Boulton was buried at Addingham on 21 June 1622, so she does not seem to be the mother of the Jennet who was baptised in 1625. Thomas Bolton of Addingham and Frances Harrison were married at Otley on 31 July 1627, but that was two years after the baptism of Jennet.

Jennet (Boulton) Gott was probably closely related to Thomas Boulton who married Ruth Stones at Addingham on 25 July 1643. Thomas and Ruth later lived at Silsden Moor. Thomas’s will was proved in 1678.[1] In the 1689 administration record for their son Benjamin Bolton of Cringles in Silsden, the parties were Timothy Bolton of Cringles, yeoman, William Gott of Lower Cringles, yeoman, and Thomas Gott of Potterpitts, yeoman.[2] The 1667 administration bond for the estate of Judith Stones, a sister of Ruth (Stones) Boulton, includes a John Bollton of Cringles, clothier.[3]

William Gott of Cringles, husbandman, was also a party in the 1667 administration bond for Dionis Cockshott of Cringles and was one of the men who took the inventory.[4] Dionis Cockshott had married Elizabeth Boulton at Addingham on 30 November 1637.
