According to the Laurel County Historical Society, Alexander Bolton, son of Thomas and Elizabeth James Bolton (and cousin to Frank and Jesse James), married Delilah Stephenson Bolton. They had the following children: Sarah Elizabeth, Thomas, William H., Pleasant, Tandy James, Alford, Charity, James, and Joseph. Delilah died in 1906 and Alexander remarried. His second wife was Mary James Thomas. Alexander and Mary’s children are Orrie, Ethel, Walter, Theodore, Lulu Belle and Alexander, Jr. Sorry, I don’t have dates. Hope that helps.

An interesting bit of Bolton family lore – It has been said that Alexander Bolton hid his cousins, Frank and Jesse James, after they robbed a bank in Russellville, KY.
