    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/UNF.2ACIB/201.1.1.1.2 Message Board Post: I am excited to find someone on my Bost family tree! My 3rd great grandfather was Leander Sydney Bost, and John Harvey was his brother. I found a write up for John Harvey at the Texas State Cemetery in Austin. there were a few mistakes in the dates (of battle, and enrollement was different than what he had on his pension record). The write up only had only found one relative for him, and that was Charlie F. Bost, living in Staples (Hays co). I don't know if you are familiar with the Texas State Cemetery, but it is normally reserved for Governors, Senators, etc from the Texas gov. But they allowed those in the Civil and Revolutionary wars to also be buried there. They have people who research everyone buried there, so that they will have a story. If you know more about John Harvey Bost, go to the website and contact them! I am sure they'd love to know more. I am just stunned at the common appearance in the Bost men! My grandfather and his father, and grandfather looked so much like John Harvey. So, that gene was a strong one! Were you ever told about the family after they moved to Hays County Texas? A cousin says an aunt told her that the family owned a huge amount of farm land in San Marcos Texas. Of course, my Bost family here is now very old, and most are gone. I know that their brother Marcus Bost moved to Hays Co. Tx first.and they were on the 1880 census there. But Leander Sydney was still in Catawba NC in 1880. I am not sure about John Harvey. In the San Marcos Cemetery the Bost family has a large plot. On one side is Leander Sydney's son Jonathan David, and family, and on the other side is Marcus' family. I am still trying to figure out how all the names are connected on Marcus' side. Leander Sydney died while visiting in Coleman Texas, so that is why he isn't buried "at home." By the way, my mother's maiden name was Bost. I'd love to share what I do know and that I am sure of on the Texas end. I am still wondering about which Bosts are the correct connect in NC. If you can tell me that, I'd be thrilled! Thanks.

    1. Married In Jail! - Benjamin Bost & Mary Hammond, Chillicothe Ohio
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/UNF.2ACIB/234 Message Board Post: “THE CHILLICOTHE LEADER” SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1889 (typed exactly as it appears in the paper) p.4-Listed under “Marriage Licenses, Births and Deaths” Benjamin Bost and Mary Hammon p.5: “MARRIED IN JAIL,” “Under Circumstances Peculiarly Interesting and Sadly Unique” “MARY HAMMON’S ROMANCE” A Deluded Young Woman who Started Out to Punish a Lover who Had Inflicted upon Her Suffering and Disgrace, but who Relented When She Saw Him in Prison and Wound up Her Campaign of Revenge by Marrying Him. --- The event of Tuesday, about the Court House was a marriage that occurred at the jail on the afternoon of that day - a marriage that was solemnized under very mournful circumstances, and that had about it some most peculiar features. At 2 o’clock, Tuesday, the jailor’s room was filled with a curious company, gathered to witness the unusual spectacle of a marriage in jail, and fully seventy-five people were assembled on the outside, eager to get a peep at the interesting ceremony. Seated in the jailor’s room, just before the ceremony, was a modest-looking and quite attractive young woman, of not over twenty years. She wore a rather timid look, and it was plain that she had been crying. She carried a six weeks’ old baby in her arms, and was very attentive to it. She was the child’s mother. Its father was, at that moment locked up in jail. The young woman was Mary Hammon, who lives in the vicinity of Higby’s station. She was, at that hour, unmarried. The father of her child was Benjamin Bost, a section hand on the Scioto Valley R. R., who is not over 19 years old, and who lives in Miss Hammon’s neighborhood. Bost was in jail having been put there at the instigation of Miss Hammon, who had a few days before, brought an action against him for bastardy, in ‘Squire Samuel Woods’ court. The ‘Squire bound Bost over to Court, in the sum of $500 and being unable to furnish bond, the young man was lodged in jail here Sunday night. This was just what Miss Hammond wanted - or what she thought she wanted. Four months ago, before her child was born, Bost wanted to marry her; but he had deceived her so cruelly and treated her so badly, that she would not marry him then. Finally, the child was born, and then the full measure of her disgrace and suffering was plain to her, and she became animated with a desire for revenge. She determined to bring both suffering and disgrace to the door of the man who had caused her so much grief and agony. Then it was that she determined to prosecute him. She thought it would be a source of gratification to her, to see the man who had betrayed her languishing in jail, and despised of men. This was a delusion. She didn’t enjoy it a bit, for no sooner did she see him in jail than her heart relented; her love triumphed over her desire for revenge. Bost was lodged in jail here Sunday night, and Monday Miss Hammon called to see him. Sheriff Wisehart was very kind to her, and took her into jail to see her lover. “Oh, does Benny have to stay in this dreadful place?” she exclaimed, when she was stopped in front of the heavily-barred turnstile. She had caught a glimpse of the long row of iron cells in the east corridor of the jail, and they seemed to fill her with terror. She didn’t know “that a jail was such an ugly place,” and the knowledge of the fact that her lover was behind those bars smote upon her conscience with a heavy smite. A few moments later Miss Hammon and Mr. Bost were face to face. “Oh, Benny, this is hard!” she exclaimed. “Mary! Oh, Mary!” sobbed Benjamin. In a moment, they were both in tears, and sobbing in a very heart-bursting way. The scene was an affective one, but it was oats for the crowd of prisoners in jail, who were watching the little drama with eager, guying eyes. Soon they set up loud poo-hooings, and their wild sobbing could be heard out on Main street. Hardened wretches are those prisoners. Mary and Benjamin didn’t mind them. They had their cry out, and then a long, earnest talk. When Miss Hammon left the jail, she had about made up her mind to marry Mr. Bost. But it seems that Mr. Bost had changed his mind, too. His punishment had made him a little vindictive, and the other prisoners had been working on him, urging him not to marry the girl. Some of Bost’s relatives--among them his sister--came to see him Monday, and they advised him to marry Miss Hammon. He finally consented, and so it was arranged that they should be made man and wife at 2 o’clock Tuesday afternoon. At that hour, ‘Squire Francis Blackford was present to perform the ceremony. When Mr. Bost was first brought into the room, Miss Hammon rushed to him, threw her arms about his neck and began to cry. “Oh, Benny, this is hard,” she was heard to say again and again. When they stood up before the ‘Squire, to have the marriage ceremony performed, Miss Hammon carried her babe on her arm. Both bride and groom really felt happy, notwithstanding the circumstances under which they were married. They left the jail in a very smiling humor. Bost told Sheriff Wisehart that he “thought a great deal of Mary,” and would be true to her and “treat her like a wife ought to be treated.”

September 29, 1871 was married to Celia Allred b. July 30, 1793. Here is what I know of their daughter Faithy: It has been reported on Family Search and other web sites that Noah Bost's first wife was a Jones (first name unknown). No one knows for sure what her name was and the Jones name probably came from the fact that he was married for "one night" to Faithy A. Jones, daughter of Abraham and Celey (Allred) Jones, after the death of his first wife. If his first wife was a Jones, she was brobably a sister of Abraham Jones. Abraham Jones named his daughter Alice after Noah's mother and Noah named his daughter Celia after Abraham's wife. Then Abraham named his son Noah Bost Jones. No one has any idea as to the real connection between Noah Bost and Abraham Jones. (information provided by Brad Walker, geneaologist at the Magness Memorial Library, McMinnville, TN and ggg grandson of Abigail Moffitt and William Coppinger.) From "Tennessee Tidbits 1778-1914," Vol. III, by Marjorie Hood Fischer and Ruth Blake Burns: Boss, Noah -- was granted a divorce from Faithly Boss on 29 September 1855 for disertion. They were (married) in 1840 or 1841). They lived together about four months when she left him and refused to return. (War TN, Ch Ct Min,2/111) As to William Bost Whitman - I don’t have the foggiest idea of how he came to be entered in the Jones Bible. William was the son of Celey A. Bost (Dau of Noah Bost) and Edward Whitman. They were married on September 07, 1854 in Warren Co., TN. I believe Celey died upon William’s birth of shortly thereafter because on April 05, 1856 Edward married Celey’s cousin Martha C. Bost in Grundy Co., TN. What happened to Edward and William Whitman is a mystery to me for the 1860 census shows Martha living alone with her 5 year old son by her first husband. - James Hill
