Hello,

My family is researching the Boatman family history. What is the exact name of the book you were referencing? How would I be able to access this book?

Any assistance is deeply appreciated. Have a great week.

Re: Claudius Boatman Jr of Lycoming Co - Sarag BOATMAN Morrison

spreetaper — 2012-02-05 23:07:57Z

Trying to confirm a link as there was an Elizabeth Morrison born in abt 1818 -1821 in PA whom married Charles Prager in Pittsburgh in abt 1840. In the "History of the Upper Ohio Valley" she mentions the following "Her grandmother, Mrs. Smea, was scalped by the Indians during one of their raids upon the settlements, but survived the injury."

Wondering if Elizabeth is a daughter of one of the couples listed..??

Elizabeth died on the 25th of March 1901 and is buried in Wheeling, WV. (Mt Wood Cemetery)

Boatman in Ardmore Oklahoma

abradell — 2012-01-17 23:51:56Z

My grandfather, Leonard Boatman was supposedly born in Ardmore Okalahoma in 1894 and the story is that his parents were: James Boatman (from Louisiana)and Mary Finnegan (from Vermont). His mother died within a year of his birth and his father died when he was 6 or years old. The story goes that after his mother died, that Leonard was raised by the Chectaw indians. His aunt Ellen Finnegan became his guardian in 1907-08 in San Antonio, Texas. Any information on Leonard and/or James would be greatly appreciated. My email is: abradell@yahoo.com - or post here. Thank you!

Re: Boatmans in my SC Greer Family History

I can't believe this! I have a tiny address book that my grandmother used in the 1940s. Toward the back is a note I've never been able to use: "Great grandma Boatman Grandpa Wells mother." She may have meant Grandma Wells (Teressa Greer Wells). This is the third email I have sent to you because I keep seeing information in your research that points to a connection between our families. I am excited!

Boatman surname Georgia to Arkansas

CDDuBois — 2011-07-13 02:56:56Z

James R. Boatman married Rachael I. Akin were married on 12 Nov 1868 in Cross County, Arkansas according to the marriage records I found in the Cross County Clerk's Office. J R Boatman and R I Boatman are listed in the 1870 Federal Census in Cross County Arkansas. According to the censuses, J. R. Boatman was born in Georgia. I found James R. Boatman buying land in Cross County, Arkansas in 1872. In 1880, R I Boatman [Rachael Isabelle Akin Boatman] is widowed and has a daughter M B Boatman [Minnie Bell Boatman]. Rachael married Sam Hinton. The marriage record calls her Belle Boatman. I have letters from Mrs. Belle Hinton that belonged to my grandmother and Belle's granddaughter by Minnie Bell Boatman Sharpe. Questions: I assume James R. Boatman died in Arkansas. I would like to know if anyone knows of James R. Boatman who lived in Cross County, Arkansas. How did he die? When did he die? Where was he buried? Is he the same James R. Boatman b. about 1846 Georgia found in censuses previously as a child in Walker County, Georgia, USA with George Washington Boatman as the father? Any help would be appreciated?

Hi,
I'm new at this but am trying to follow the Anton, Mary Statz side of the family. They were my grandparents. My moms name is Ann (Nistler) Schoolmeesters. I'm trying to make sense of all of this as we have the old family tree done by Paul Mahowald and he lists a Joseph married to a Haberkorn as the father and mother of Aloys, which is different from other trees on here that list George as Aloys's father. If you have Paul's book we are on page 66

Re: Claudius Boatman

JessBoatman — 2011-02-07 04:28:42Z

You are correct. It was a typo. In correction, I show James passed on 2 May 1853. (The Boatman Family, Opal Cox, copyright 1981, pp343). I have no information on the other folks you mention. Do you have another spelling for De Ella or have Benjamin F. Boatman dob? Thanks for bringing this mistake to my attention.

Re: Claudius Boatman

In Simple Family Tree, my aunt put together a ton of Boatman lineage. I found one entry for Eve Dorothy Lenderman Boatman who died 12 Sept 1876 and buried in Rosedale, Park County. I didn't see that one on findagrave.com.

She married John Boatman on 13 July 1834 and lived in Patton's Mill, Vermillion Co. IN. Notes says she's buried in Old Boatman Cemetery.

Re: BOATMAN & SWADENER Wedding Announcement

breiland1 — 2010-07-13 20:29:06Z

First off, Thank you so very much for your military service!! I too am a veteran of the Army.

Second.. I will see if I can find anything. Did your grandfather just marry in Vermillion County because he lived there up until the time of his marriage, or did his wife live there? I ask because you said you are researching Parke Co.

It's nice that you help other genealogists. I know that I love getting help, and I am happy when I can help others. :)

Have a good day!!

Re: BOATMAN & SWADENER Wedding Announcement

dave4304 — 2010-07-13 20:15:31Z

My traveling days are over. I am 82 and WWII Navy Vet and all of my fun in genealogy is limited to helping others with their line. I am also looking for graves (on line) of all Boatmans of the English line. I am trying to show the links on Find a Grave between the families. Any help will be appreciated. I need only the name and location of the cemetery (County and State), the name on the grave and the dates. I failed to get such data while researching for the past 45 years. See www.findagrave.com and then go to Indiana, then Parke co., then to the surname Boatman. Find my name on one of the tributes and click on it and you can see the graves which I sponsor in just the past five weeks.

I have researched my lines, two wives lines, and there are too many to name. I am sticking to Boatman for now. Swadener is not a name that I have researched.

Milley Boatman was a witness for the 12 Dec 1816 will of Elizabeth Taylor, widow of Thomas Taylor of Lancaster County, Va. Heirs were children of William Payne, sister Lucy Edwards, and nephew William Bell of Fauquier Co.
Other witnesses were Richard, Mariah, and George H. Payne.

Henry Boatman son of Robert Boatman

TerryMark1220 — 2010-04-09 21:24:53Z

I am currently researching an ancestor by the name of Robert Boatman. He was said to be born before 1755 in VA and died in 1833 in Sullivan Co., Indiana. He was said to be the son of Henry and Margaret “Sarah” Boatman.

From VA, he migrated to Pennsylvania with his parents where he settled on land that became Washington and Allegheny Counties, PA. After Sep 1789, he migrated down the Ohio River and settled in Kentucky.

He was married to his first wife Ann (between 1774 and 1805). This brings me to my specific request. I am looking for documentation that names his children, in particular, Henry Boatman, (born in 1775). I have a family history that names the children as:

1. Henry Boatman (b: 1775, d: aft 1820, m Milly Allegree 14 October 1796 KY)
2. Simon Boatman (b: ca 1775, d: 1814)
3. John Boatman (b: ca 1776, d: 1842, m/1 Elizabeth Hunter 1800, m/2 Mrs. Catherine Patton 1835)
4. Robert Boatman (b: ca 1778, d: bf 1840, m Nancy Willis 5 Jan 1802)
5. James C. Boatman ( b: ca 1784, m Amy Carver 1806)
6. William C. Boatman (b: 1788, m Elizabeth Willis 1808)
7. Jesse Boatman (b: ca 1789, d: bf 1840, m Sarah Hunter 1806)

I need an additional source that confirms that Henry was Robert’s son.

Re: Boatman surname

Davidboatman34 — 2010-03-25 14:49:32Z

The Levi Boatman, that you mentioned having his picture, is my great-grandfather. I have the original photo and the one of his father, William, is hanging on the wall behind me, in it's original frame. I have the names and birthdates of all of William's 23 children, if you are interested.

I am seeking a descendant of William's second wife, Sarah Ann Ashbrook, and her 13 children by William. I have lost all that I knew, or they have died. I have lots to exchange.
