Hi I too am researching Boatrights. Thomas Boatright and Amy Rushing were my 5th greatgrandparents. They went with Austin's first 300 settlers to found colony in TX. I don't know past that, but I do know that they were closely associated with my Trammell family which I have traced back to 1650's arrival in America. Their daughter Patsy m Thomas Trammell. I know that the Trammells came to Arkansas with a Col. Lovely who fraudulently sold them land and the gov't gave them other land in Arkansas. The Boatrights were in Ark before going to Tx. Trammells came there from IL, TN, KY, Carolinas, VA moving into each new territory as it opened. My trouble was they moved on as civilization came and so they aren't in a lot of the town or county histories. A pre-historic family, ha ha. Any Boatright info appreciated. Thanks Sincerely, Linda
