I have been looking into my Bosher line, and I think that it must somehow connect to Gideon Bosher and the other well-known Boshers of VA. I have a guess based on a user-submitted file from familysearch.org but no actual evidence as of now.

Here is where I'm stuck:

Thomas Bosher born abt 1816 in VA, married (1) Nancy ??? and (2) Sarah ??? (I think, based on census records)

In 1860, Thomas and Nancy Bosher are listed as having several children, a few who are ages 16, 14, and 10. But in 1850, the family disappears. If the children are that old, they should be roughly 6, 4, and newborn in 1850.

The (user-submitted) file on ancestry.com has Thomas as the son of William Bosher, son of Thomas Bosher, son of Gideon Bosher.

Has anyone who has been researching this family come across any information that could help me make the connection? Thanks in advance.
