Does the person who asked this question really mean "Colton" and not "Colt"?
While Samuel Colt is generally considered the inventor of the present day revolver, there were earlier revolving firearms, such as the "pepperbox" pistols. However, the grandaddy of the revolver was created by a man with the unlikely name of James Puckle in the 1700s. See the link below to a WikiPedia article on the Puckle Gun.

Many people credit Samuel Colt as being the inventor of the revolver in 1832. However, there were earlier revolving guns- Colt made a good one, but not the first one. Perhaps the earliest is actually a small revolving cannon built by James Puckle (no, that really is the name) in 1718. You can find the wikipedia article on the Puckle Gun.
