We are trying to document three BOLTON families who migrated to Winn Parish,
Louisiana arriving in December 1841 from Mississippi and Alabama.  Two heads
of household in the 1860 Winn Parish Census were born in South Carolina and
are brothers.  The third was born in North Carolina with kinship uncertain.

We have a letter written in 1917 by Mr. W. L. WRIGHT of Batesburg, SC to Mr.
John Graham TEAGLE of Winnfield, Louisiana establishing family relationships
for two of these men:  Nathaniel BOLTON, Jr. [who was John TEAGLE's
father-in-law] and Robert BOLTON.  Both men were sons of Nathaniel BOLTON,
Sr. of South Carolina.  WRIGHT tells about how he is connected to these two
men, and gives information about his 11 siblings:  2 brothers and 5 sisters
who were living around Johnston, SC in 1917, plus 4 other brothers. 

Children of Nathaniel BOLTON, Sr. [we have no dates for his birth or death]:

Henry BOLTON born in South Carolina in 1795, married to Emily OWENS born 1799.

Joseph BOLTON born in South Carolina in 1797, married to Sallie GREEN born 1800.

Robert BOLTON born in South Carolina circa 1798, married to "Elizabeth" born
in SC about 1801.

Nathaniel BOLTON, Jr. born in either 1799 or 1801 in South Carolina, married
to Rachel Zilpha WALL who was also born in South Carolina in about 1812.

Polly BOLTON born after Nathaniel, Jr. and apparently never married.

We are descended from Nathaniel BOLTON, Jr. through John Graham Teagle and
Martha Ann Bolton Teagle and are seeking to establish contact with anyone
descended from Nathaniel BOLTON, Sr. We have additional but limited data on
the children of these four brothers.
