Surnames: boatwright Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZYE.2ACEB/344 Message Board Post: My great grandfather was John William Boatwright. I am not sure where he originally came from he always claimed to be a Florida Cracker. I know he had a sister in Louisianna I am not sure If she is still living her name was Hattie. My greatgrandmothers maiden name was Pendino and she immigrated in 1910 from italy. If anyone is related let me know also if you have any ideas on where they originally came from. My great grandfather passed away in Nov 2004
