I am trying to verify the children of George T. McIntosh and Martha Boren, m. Todd Co., KY, 1845. George served in the Civil War on the Union side and was killed in the battle of Shiloh. There is a Martha McIntosh (maiden name Boren?) living in Todd County, Kentucky in 1870. This Martha was born 1825 and had the following children living with her:
James b. 1850
Joseph b. 1854
Victoria b. 1858
Charity b. 1851

I believe this Joseph (b. 1854 is my GG grandfather). He was reportedly a deputy marshal and married a Cherokee Indian (Lydia Lou Scott). I believe Joseph later lived in Arkansas and Missouri. I am trying to verify that he is the son of George and Martha and find out how George is connected to the other McIntosh families in Tennessee and Kentucky. For some reason, I can't find this family in the 1850 or 1860 census. Also, I wonder why there were so many Boren/McIntosh marriages?
