Migration of the Bolotte family
Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Bolotte or a variant listed above: Margaret Bold who settled in Virginia in 1635; Andrew and Valentine Bold settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1865 and 1873 respectively; Gabriell Bolt settled in Barbados in 1635.
