I'm so sorry about the very late respone. My paternal great grandmother was named Indella. I remembered visiting her when I was very young and she was getting ready for her husband's funeral. He was nicknamed "Daddy's Boy".

Re: Boston

AlexanderEllis1971 — 2009-10-12 07:06:32Z

I'm sorry about the very late reply. I believe that this Vernon Boston born in 1904 may possibly be my paternal grandfather.

Re: Olive and Henry Boston survivors of the Laconia sinking

HenryBoston — 2009-10-06 03:59:29Z

I am Olive and Henry's grandson. They had four children, Harry, Larry, Granger and my father, Michael. All are now deceased. Suggest you email me separately at my address - henry.boston@freehills.com - and I can fill you in on some of the other details. My grandmother was a bit of a celebrity since she attempted to cross the Altantic 3 times and was torpedoed each time. The last time she was near enough to Ireland to be rescued and finally make it to the UK.

Kind regards

Henry Boston

Re: Boston family

rmhorse — 2009-06-22 16:29:23Z

Hello Ellen,
I guess we ARE kin to each other. I am Debbie, a daughter of Naomi, a daughter of Eva's (your GMA's sister).
No, I am not the neice who went to OK at that time...that would be Barbara (one of David's daughters). I have been to OK several times but have not had the pleasure of meeting you and your family. I've often told my Mom we should go out and reintroduce ourselves.
I have done some researching but have let it get buried under alot of stuff for the past few years. My attention has been diverted to keeping up with highschool and college academic and athletic activities. The grandkids' activities also get penciled in on the calendar.
Just got back from Cape Canaveral, FL after attending the launch of NASA's LRO-LCROSS project. My brother, John Marmie, is the deputy project manager of the mission that has been sent on its way to the moon. He and his other team members engineered the LCROSS portion of the project. It's mission is to search for water. It was an exciting day for him, his colleagues and us. We definitely wanted to be there in support. He's worked for NASA's Ames Research Center in CA since 1988. He's worked on this project for almost 3 years and it finally made its way to the launch pad on June 18th.
Just think, you have a relative that is trying his best to touch the moon! Keep in touch. Debbie

Sarah (Sallie) E. Boston in Kentucky

pagelaney — 2009-05-30 02:45:35Z

Can someone please help me!!! Looking for Sarah who married Charles Thomas Fleming in Kentucky b. 1846-1849 d. 7 Nov 1881. They were married in Oct of 1869 or 1870. One of their children's (John Bond Fleming)birth information says she was born in Nicolas county, but I believe she was born in Anderson. She was married in the home of L.L. Boston by Rev. Bond. This is my 3rd Gr Grandmother and can find nothing on her or her parents. Please Help.

Re: Sarah (Sallie) E. Boston in Kentucky

tstuhlmann — 2009-05-30 14:01:52Z

The Sarah Boston that I have in my genealogy research (unfortunately Sarah is a fairly common name) married a "Disman" (all I have) about 1859 at an unknown location. And married "Black" (all I have) about 1876. She also went by the nickname of Sally.

She was the youngest of 8 children. Her father was George Boston born 1793 in North Carolina and mother was Juda Cope born about 1795 in North Carolina. Juda Cope died in 1844 in Pleasant Shade, Tennessee.

If you think this is up your alley, let me know and give your e-mail address and I'll send you more information.

Re: Boston's of Lincolnshire

tstuhlmann — 2009-06-21 15:13:18Z

The Boston's in my family tree have John Boston caming to the United States and settling in Rowan County, North Carolina as part of a land grant that was given by King George II (about 1759?). He had a son Andrew, who had a son Christian.

Re: Boston Family

tstuhlmann — 2009-05-03 18:27:21Z

My George W. Boston (I don't know what the "W" is for) was born in 1829. His father was Andrew J. Boston and his mother was Ann (last name unknown at this time). Andrew was born in Tennessee - and died there as well. The path my Boston family took over the generation appears to be Maryland/Virginia to Tennessee to Arkansas. But, that does not mean that someone (or even several) could not have broken off and gone north to Ohio.

Re: Bostons in Michigan

My dad was born in Dayton, OH in 1948 and my aunt and uncle were born some time after that and were raised in Dayton, OH until the death of my paternal grandmother Voyia Elaine Boston.

Re: John Borrowscale

JoanBorrowscale78 — 2009-04-25 16:56:19Z

Thank you for your message. Because this name is very rare
there is not a web site. In fact no-one is researching the name except ME.
I have tried the Boston City web site, but not sure how to contact anyone.
As he died 1873 what would be a likely cemetery. Maybe Non-Conformist
Thanks

Re: Boston's of Lincolnshire

speedeengineer — 2009-05-03 15:28:36Z

Well, I have a book from the sixties "The Boston Familiy Of Maryland" that references several Henry Boston's. In fact the first generation Boston here in america was a Henry Boston. However, I dont see any reference to a Henry circa 1826.

Re: Boston's of Lincolnshire

speedeengineer — 2009-06-21 02:19:55Z

The book I have was passed down from my grandparents (Robert and Louise Boston) and was originally published in 1967. There are a few pictures in the book. Unfortunately, some of the references you made a a bit different in my book. Henry is shown to have died in 1676 and there are no references to a "Pete" Boston. However, John (Thomas perhaps?) Boston is referenced. I am definately interested in a invite to the Boston webpage. robertebostoniii@gmail.com I'm going to scan the family tree in the book and send you a copy to the e-mail you provided.

Hello, thanks for answering. I was wondering if you would send me your e-mail address so I can write directly to you. I had written out a message, then canceled it because I thought about it going on the message board. It wasn't bad, just lengthy and full of questions. My e-mail address is ellenhuff@sbcglobal.net . Thanks again.Ellen

Re: Boston family

ellenseigal — 2009-06-19 22:16:27Z

I'm also answering an old message board post, but I am Gus and Lura's granddaughter. I have been to Ohio twice and have taken pictures at the cemeteries and of the house where Grandma and her family lived. I understand your grandmother Eva lived there during her life as well. I also went to David Poulson's home once. This was on a trip back in the '90's with my parents, John and Mary Boston, and my brother Philip. We also went to Lois's home. I don't guess you're the niece who came to OK many years ago, are you? (David's daughter) In 2006, my husband and I came through Ohio again and went back by Grandma's old home and to the cemetery where Gus's mother is buried. Let me know if you have any research put together. Thanks, Ellen Huff

I have 3 George W.Boston in 3 consecutive generations.I cannot connect a Richard with any of them. The only Richard shows up in app. 1669 born to Henry Boston from England and Judith Best. Richard married Judy Benton . This marriage was the first George W. Boston 1704-1811.He had son George #2 1744-1850.George #2 had a son Michael that produced George #3.Michael 1800-1845.Don't have exact date s on George #3.Nothing to say that there was cousins that had the names of George and Richard somewhere.there was a lot of duplication of names then and still now making it very difficult to connect the dots.
