Hi Wilena Young I have examined the 1850 census for Carroll and Coweta CO GA. I find four James Boat(w)right. they are reported as born in GA, SC, GA and DC. None in NY. The James D. b 1799/1800 in DC was in Carroll Co and had wife Mary and ch Martha and Eliza The 1870 census for Johnson CO., ARK shows a J.D. Boatright age 46(?) born 1823(?) in NY with wife Elizabeth age 37 born 1832/33 in GA and ch Georgia 6 b 1863/64 in TX, John D. 2 born 1867/68 in AR and Benjamin M. 1 Mo. b 1870 in AR Note: The question marks above imply that the actual tape or other media from which this data was taken was probably not readable with any accuracy. Also the actual census only gives the age at time of census. The compiler of this data from the original has added his best estimate of actual year of birth for the benefit of genealogists. The Carroll Co GA Quarterly of the Carroll CO Gen. Soc. of Carrollton Ga Vol lV No 3 Fall 1983 lists Marriages 1848-1857 and includes James D Boatright to Caroline Webb DEC 16 1857 The NY census reports for 1790 to 1890 do not include any Boat(w)rights. This leaves the stated birth of James D as being in NY questionable. Jerry Boatwright On Wed, 6 Apr 2005 16:57:23 EDT Wdky88@aol.com writes: > Seeking information on James D.
