Classification: Query
Surnames: Boren, Teague
In the 1920 Census, my great-grandmother, Daisy Teague, can be found living with her family in Alma, Arkansas. Two lots away, there is a Boren family:
WM Boren, b. abt 1849
Becky Boren, b. abt 1869
Ruth Boren, b. abt 1901
Bill Boren, b. abt 1902
Mary Boren, b. abt 1904
We know from my grandfather's birth cerificate that my great-grandfather's name was William Boren, noted as Bill Boren in this census. Bill was around 18 and Daisy around 16 at this time. Both Bill and Daisy died in the Great Hurricane of 1928 in Belle Glade, Florida.
We are assuming, I suppose, that the Boren family in this census record is my great-great grandfather WM and my great-grandfather Bill.
Problem is, Bill and Daisy will not be in any other census records after 1920, seeing as they passed away in 1928. My only hope of finding my family lies in finding out where Wm Boren came from.
Problem is, Wm, Becky, Ruth, Bill, and Mary Boren are not in any other census records. Wm was 71 years old in 1920, and we have yet to find any documentation of him in any other census record, land record, tax record, even prison records. We have no idea what to do in order to continue our search.
We know that he was born in Arkansas, and was born about 1849, but that is the extent of what we know.
Also, we are going on assumption that this Bill Boren of 18 years old is the William Boren/Bill Boren that Daisy married. Based on their son's birth certificate, this census record does make this Bill Boren the right age and born in the right place to be the right Boren. Also, being that they were neighbors, we assume that is how they met.
We have really hit a brick wall. None of the family knows anything about the Boren line, because Bill and Daisy died young, and their children were raised by Daisy's mother. Diasy's youngest brother, Paul Teague, recently passed away, before we found him. He may or may not have a living son-- we think that he is living, but are having a hard time finding him.
Anyone have any info on this Boren line? Any ideas on how to find a living relative? Any help would be appreciated. We're so unsure of where to turn to next. Also, we live near the Nation Archives in Boston-- any adivce on going to them?
Thank you all so much. We've had great luck in the past with wonderful, helpful people on these boards-- we're hoping lightning will strike twice and someone will be able to lead us in the right direction. Thanks again,
Jim Boren
