| Notes |
- The best-documented example of Bowbearers in England is to be found in the Forest of Bowland in north-eastern Lancashire.[1]
In the late twelfth century, Oughtred de Bolton, son of Edwin de Bolton ("Edwinus Comes de Boelton" in the Domesday Book ) is described as an early Bowbearer in the royal forests of Bowland and Gilsland , at the time of Henry II . However, this account is flawed as the possibility of Oughtred being the son of Edwin is fanciful and cannot be substantiated. It would have been impossible for Oughtred to have been Bowbearer of Gilsland before the 1170s when the barony was first brought into the Norman realm. Prior to that, it had formed part of the kingdom of the Scots [2]
- the vocabularly of surnames existing in both the old and new world. The first man who bore it, so far as ascertained, was Oughtred de Bolton, who lived in 1135, and who is said to have been a lineal representative of certain old Saxon earls of two or three centuries before. Whether or not the American Boltons descended from him has not been determined, nor indeed has any connection been made between them and the old English stock from which they sprang.

- Dear Newsgroup,
In the book "The Family of Bolton in England and America 1100 to 1894" Chapter IV, pages 49 to 51.? It claims that Aughtred (Oughtred) de Bolton was the son of Gerold of Roumare and Lucia of Mercia.
In
<http://books.google.com/books?id=Y6IMAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA182&dq=Oughtred+de+bolton>
It states "we have no certain accounts of his ancestors."
In
<http://books.google.com/books?d=Ni4BAAAAQAAJ*pg=PA1730*dq=Oughtred+de+bolton>
It states that according to Dugdale, he is a lineal descendant of the Saxon Earls of Mercia, and supposed to be the son of Edwin living temp. the Norman Conqueror, and three times mentioned in Domesday Book as Edwinus comes Bolton.
Can anyone assist with this puzzle?
