Boltox. — The surname of Bolton is one of considerable antiquity, and is 

 derived from the place of that name in Yorkshire. England. 



"Bodelton or Bothelton, the ancient orthography of all the towns which bear 

 this name, (says Whitaker) is evidently from Boel, mansio, implying probably, 

 that it was the principal residence of some Saxon thane. The spelling, with a 

 slight variation, was continued a century or more after the conquest : for, in the 

 the time of Stephen, Abbot of Salley, (probably in Henry the second's reign,) 

 Elias de Bothilton held lands in this place, a de Feodo de la Leya."& 



In the reign of Henry the third, Richard de Bjnhilton is named of the village 

 of Bonhilton, in Yorkshire. The Testa Villarum of the time of Henry the third, 

 and Edward the first, contain the na::ie of Robert de Bolrun, as holding six acres 

 of land at Bolrun, in Yorkshire. John de Bolton, bow bearer of Bolton forest, 

 in 1312. was the lineal representative according to Dugdale, of the Saxon earls 

 of Mercia. From Whitaker's History of Craven it appears that Edwin, Earl of 

 Mercia, was seized of the manor of Bodeltone c before the conquest, and held it 

 five years after. This nobleman was son of Leofwine, and brother of Leopie, 



a Parish of Bolton, juxta Bowland. 



b Whitaker's Hist, of the Deanery of Craven. 



c The Manor of Midhope, one of the most e\"«n=ive and 1 valuable grazing farms in Craven, 

 was parcel of the great possessions of the Boltona, and passed into the Lister family, by 

 marriage with a co-h'-ir<--- of that most ancient name, in the time of Edward the Second." 

 Whitaker"s Hist, of Craven. I, -. though the style hath be^n altered, (.sav- Began an 



ancient Barony by tenure in Henry the s icond'a time, and the Scroopes of Upsall and ALasham 



re in a direct line descended from the Barons Bolton of Bolton."
