This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Boatwright, Foster, Johnson, Barton Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/ZYE.2ACEB/289.1 Message Board Post: My gr. grandfather was James Boatwright who is also from Reynolds County, Missouri and was married to Mahala Anne Johnson. I don't know any of his siblings names but am curious if your Thomas may be related to James, maybe a brother. My mother's mother is Mahala Boatwright who was James' daughter and she had a brother named Thomas who was born in 1879. Other children of James and Mahala(1) would be Walter, Lawrence, John, Florence, Clorene, and Zella. I will let you know if Thomas was James brother-if so, we are cousins!
