John Bolt Family John Bolt Family Of Southwest Virginia 250 Years of Family History Elaine C Artlip 2004 Elaine Corbin Artlip 2046 Tenville Avenue Villisca, Iowa 50864-7079 [email protected] Notes For many years I have been a resident of Washington Township, Montgomery County Iowa. In 1976 I compiled a local history which included brief sketches of many early families of the area. The list included three Bolt brothers who came here from Indiana in the mid-1850s. Shortly after that I learned that my husband is descended from another Bolt who also came to Montgomery County in the 1850s, and settled about ten miles away, in Frankfort Township. In my efforts to follow that line I became involved in a general Bolt research project. I collected a large file of Bolt material and learned that the Frankfort Township Bolt was a first cousin of the Washington Township Bolts. Then I joined the Montgomery County Historical Society and became involved in local history. It was 12 or 14 years before I returned to the Bolts. Genealogical research is easier and more rewarding now, with the proliferation of printed material, and the advent of internet resources. I am pleased that I have been able to identify so many family members, but regret that so much is still undone. A quick look down the pages will show that I have only a small part of the numerous descendants of this family. I have enjoyed tracking this far-flung family from coast to coast, and from Texas to Canada, but now I must move on and leave it to others to continue the search. Perhaps someone will even answer the question, “Who was John Bolt?” The material presented here comes from a variety of sources. Of course we always hope to find Vital Records and other official documents for each person, but we know that is not going to happen, especially with early families who followed the frontier westward. In 1906 a grandson of James Bolt collected names of descendants of that family. About 1975 descendants of the Isaac Bolt family compiled an extensive account of the family. Those records have been invaluable. More modest family records have been cheerfully shared. I am grateful to all who have contributed, but please remember that much of this material has not been verified; it merely provides a starting point for further research. The usual abbreviations for this type of work have been used. This helps to limit the number of pages in the final report. Female lines have been given when readily available, but no special effort has been made to trace any but the earliest generations. It is hoped that this account, though incomplete, will be interesting and of help to future researchers. I have included a section on Bolts who are not of the John Bolt line, or for whom available material is inconclusive. i ii Those Other Bolts A chart was compiled listing last names appearing in the 1790 Census which were represented by at least 100 white persons. The various spellings of the name BOLT appeared in seven states, with a total of 25 heads of households plus 98 other family members. There were only four such households credited to Virginia, but accuracy of the count is uncertain. The 1790 Census for Virginia was burned during the War of 1812. There had been Bolts in the area from the very earliest days. Amias Bolt came to Virginia in 1618. Roger Bolt arrived in Henrico County in 1693. Several persons with some form of the name came from Germany during the first half of the eighteenth century. Bonded Passengers to America; by Peter Wilson Coldham, Vol III: …December 31, 1736…Bolt, Robert, was sentenced in London for transportation…for Virginia…from Newgate Prison… Fauquier County Deed Book 1:389; 23 September 1762: Thomas Lord Fairfax, to Robert Bolt, of Fauquier County, farm let in Fauquier in the manor of Leeds, 200 acres for the natural life of Robert Bolt, Elizabeth his wife, and John Bolt his son… Robert Bolt appeared in Fauquier County records a number of times. In 1777 he was listed on the Fauquier County rent list as a tenant of Leeds Manor. In October 1839 a record was made of the births of Robert Bolt and his children: Robert Bolt was born Augt 16 1710 Elizabeth Bolt was born May 24 1722 Mary Bolt was born April 12 1744 John Bolt was born June 6 1750 Sarah Bolt was born May 3 1753 James Bolt was born April 3 1755 Frankey Bolt was born Augt 31 1757 Feb 9 1760 Robert Bolt was born April 27 1762 Abram Bolt was born Augt 24 1764 Benjamin Bolt Son of Sarah Bolt was born Oct 15 1768 In 1979 Louise (Mrs. CF) Douglass of Malta Bend, Missouri, wrote: My Bolt ancestor dates back to mid-1700s in Virginia where Frances Bolt was born in 1757. I do not know her father’s name but her mother was an Elizabeth Weaver…Frances Bolt married William Deering and lived in Fauquier County… In 1773 John Bolt and James Bolt were indicted in Fauquier County for Assault and Battery; they posted bond subject to good behavior. iii 1779: Henry County Militia; Captain Dillard’s Company Robert Bolt; an officer John Bolt hired William May as a substitute 1779; Short Census of Virginia; Henry County: John Bolt 1782; Henry County Tax List: Robert Bolt 1784; Henry County Tax List: Robert Bolt Robert disappeared from Henry County records. Family tradition says that he was the Robert Bolt who died in 1792 in Laurens County South Carolina. 1789: A tax was imposed, with a due date of 20 February 1790, for the County of Henry for raising money for the Service of the United States. Bolt, John The General Index to Law and Chancery Court, Henry County, 1777 to 1904, contains a number of entries for John Bolt from 1794 through 1799. The suits were against John Oldham and/or Samuel Elliott. During this time period a John Bolt lived in Grayson County, but it seems probable that the Henry County lawsuits concerned John, the son of Robert. 1820 Census, Montgomery County Virginia; page 170: Bolt, John; males – two under 10; one 10 to 16; one 16 to 18; two 16 to 26; one over 45; females – two under 10; one 10 to 16; one 26 to 45 The John Bolt of 1820 has not been identified. It is thought that John the son of Robert also went to Laurens County South Carlina, but no date has been given. On the same page of the 1820 Census was a Robert Bolt, also born before 1775. Thomas Bolt was a resident of Princess Anne County Virginia, at least by 1770. His will, administered in 1784, named wife Elizabeth Brooks Boult, brother John Boult, and sons James Brooks Boult, Willoughby Boult, and Sanford (or Lanford) Boult. 1774; Virginia Wills and Administration; 1632-1899; by Clarence Terrence: Thomas Bolt; Inventory; Fauquier County Pension Roll of 1835; Genealogical Publishing Co, Baltimore, MD; 1968; Montgomery County Virginia: Frederick Bolt; age 77; Rank, Private; Annual allowance $30.00; Sums received $90.00; Placed on Pension Roll 13 February 1833; description of Service, Virginia Continental. 1840 Census, Montgomery County Virginia; page 050: Bolt, Frederick; age 80; living with son Frederick iv It is said that Martin Bolt married 1814 Carroll County Virginia, Mahala Boyd.

No marriage record has been found, and dates given for her birth and death vary widely. The following account was compiled from LDS files. The marriage records are from Cabell County West Virginia Vital Records, but the persons named have not been verified as children of Joseph and Charlotte Garrett.

    International Journal of Technoethics, 2(2), 45-64, April-June 2011 45 Internet History Raphael Cohen-Almagor, University of Hull, UK ABSTRACT This paper outlines and analyzes milestones in the history of the Internet. As technology advances, it presents new societal and ethical challenges. The early Internet was devised and implemented in American research units, universities, and telecommunication companies that had vision and interest in cutting-edge research. The Internet then entered into the commercial phase (1984-1989). It was facilitated by the upgrading of back- bone links, the writing of new software programs, and the growing number of interconnected international networks. The author examines the massive expansion of the Internet into a global network during the 1990s when business and personal computers with different operating systems joined the universal network. The instant and growing success of social networking-sites that enable Netusers to share information, photos, private journals, hobbies, and personal as well as commercial interests with networks of mutual friends and colleagues is discussed.

Thanks especially to my advisor, Ron Kuivila for tirelessly pushing me to diabolical ends, to my Mom, Beverly St. Clair for her grammatical advice, and most of all to Louisa and Gena, for making each day exciting, beautiful, and full of love. 1 Introduction What will humanity’s urban future sound like? Amidst the tremendous efforts in recent years to re-design and re-imagine the modern city in a future world without oil, very little attention has been paid to sound and acoustics. In sampling the proceedings of a number of recent conferences of architects, designers, and urban planners, I find that sound is rarely, if ever, mentioned.1 The LEED Standard for Neighborhood Development has sections concerning the visual qualities of a neighborhood, but nothing on acoustics and sound.2 It is not that sound is an unimportant part of urban experience: noise consistently ranks as one of the top three quality-of-life complaints of residents living in cities around the world 3. Part of the reason for this disconnect is certainly the visual orientation of modern architectural practice – think of Le Corbusier’s statement “I am only eyes.”4 Compared with other sensory issues in the modern city, such as stench, noise has avoided comprehensive control.5 My thesis proceeds from the belief that there is tremendous richness in everyday sonic experiences, that these experiences motivate larger patterns of behavior, and that a silent re-imagining of the future is an incomplete one.

  • Preserving Ether: the Birthplace of the Internet and the Interpretation of Information Age Technology
    PRESERVING ETHER: THE BIRTHPLACE OF THE INTERNET AND THE INTERPRETATION OF INFORMATION AGE TECHNOLOGY by MELISSA LEIGH IVEY (Under the Direction of Mark E. Reinberger) ABSTRACT There are few technological innovations that have impacted the daily lives of Americans as profoundly as the Internet. The origins of the Internet lay in the ARPANET, an experimental computer network developed in the late 1960s by Bolt, Beranek and Newman, a company headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts. This thesis explores the issues surrounding the preservation and interpretation of Information Age sites and resources in general, and offers specific recommendations for the Bolt, Beranek and Newman site. The author argues that due to the ethereal nature of information technologies, methods commonly used to preserve and interpret technological history sites and resources will require modification to be successfully applied to those of the Information Age. Recommendations are based on the analysis of existing technological history sites, unique characteristics of Information Age sites and resources, and interpretive principles and programs.
