This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Boatright Boatwright Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/ZYE.2ACEB/335 Message Board Post: I recently found this message board and wanted to post a message in hopes there would be someone else familiar with this branch of the family. I have been keeping genealogical information for years but have never quite had the time to get started; I am now hoping to make some progress. My family are the Boatwrights/Boatrights who settled in Illinois (Centralia, Sandoval, Eldorado). At this point, I have gone back to Frank Boatwright. I have written information on his son, also Frank, but I do have a civil war picture of the elder Frank in uniform. Frank, the younger (my great grandfather) married Lucy Virginia McCartney in Centralia, Illinois on November 30, 1882. They had six children (two died in infancy), Harry Paul, Freddie Seymore*, Nellie Grace*, William Carl, Elsa Irma, and my grandfather Zeno. I would love to communicate with anyone who has any knowledge at all of this family.
