Hi
I am a new subscriber to this message board my name is
Merlin Boxwell. I decend from the Iowa Boxwell bunch.
Alvin Dale Boxwell 1914-2005
Ray Verden Boxwell 1888-1976
Moses Boxwell 1838-1909
Robert Boxwell 1797-1870

Can anyone help with who Roberts father is? I have found that Robert married Rhoda Young in Bath, Morgan Co.VA in 1825. It seems That John Boxell(Boxwell)1768 married to Jane Orr is most likely.

I have read through the Archives of this board and I found it most interesting. I thought that because I could not find any indication of John serving in the Revolutionary War was because he was to young. Most interesting that he was sued by some family member for serving of attempting to!
I came across some research my brother-in-law did about 25 years ago and found that in the Earley Records-Hampshire County Virginia Clara McCormick Sage & Laura Sage Jones
Genealogical Publishing Co.1969 Alphabetized index of Deeds,Leases,Mortgages & Other Instruments:
1798 Dutton, Kingsman (w.Mary) to John Boxell
7-17 of Hampshire Co. of Hampshire Co.
50 a. in Hampshire Co.;rec 9-17-1798
wit.: Benj.McDonald, Thomas Thrasher
also:
In the Eighth Annual Report of The Library Board of the Virginia State Library 1910-1911.....Richmond....1912

p.57 Revolutionary Soldiers of Virginia
Boxwell, John, Aud. Acct. XVIII, 538
Boxwell, Joseph, War 4, 102
Boxwell, Robert, War 4, 102

I have seen the text for the pension request for Joseph and Robert and I am most curious to find what is in the record for John.
