He left Etowah County in 1885 and settled in Franklin County, AR. He had at least 3 brothers; William D born about 1854 in GA, James E. born about 1858 and Charles born about 1867 in AL. I believe that William went to AR with M. C. and I haven't followed up on the other two. I would love to hear which line of BOATRIGHT/BOATWRIGHT you are researching, I get mine back to Joshua R. BOATRIGHT in 1850 in Murray County, GA and find two men with the same name and of almost the same age, one married Caroline and the other married Angeline and both of them name their sons a variant of the same name--Marcellus Chesley or Chesley. A puzzle! Mary Boatwright Yegge Gresham OR Surnames of interest: BOATWRIGHT, HOOPER, SANDERS, HARRISON, RICHARDS, PATRICK and PIPER.
