| Notes |
- John Bolles was the son of Thomas Bolles and Zipporah Wheeler .
He was an infant when "he was the only one to survive the axe murder o f h is mother and brother Joseph and sister Mary, by 16-year-old John Sto ddar d, the axe murderer," said Jerry Hawley.
This is discussed in Genealogy of the Bolles Family in America by Joh n A . Bolles (Boston: Dutton & Son, 1865), pp. 5-9.
"Surviving Tragedy: The Resilient Bolles Family," by Carol Sommer, Jun e 5 , 2016:
"John Bolles grew up believing that God had spared him for a purpose . A n outspoken advocate for religious freedom, he became influential i n th e Rogerene religious movement which opposed the rigid control of th e Puri tan church. The Rogerenes often expressed their views by deliberat ely dis rupting worship services and breaking the Sabbath. John endured s everal i mprisonments and at least one public whipping for living his fai th.
"Despite these trials John lived to be a 90-year-old man, married twic e , and fathered 14 children. In 1735 he built a farmhouse that still sta nd s on the Connecticut College campus. Bolles property at one time stret che d from there all the way into Quaker Hill; Bolles Avenue near Riversi de P ark suggests that their extensive land holdings stretched in that di recti on too."
John Bolles married Sarah Edgecomb on 3 July 1699 at New London, Connect i cut.
John Bolles married Elizabeth Wood (2nd wife) on May 26, 1736 in Groto n , New London, Conneticut.
He was said to be buried in the Ancient Cemetery at New London.
