Patricia, Are you familiar with the work of Joseph Burval? He is the one who sent me the information I have on my Boatrights. This is so darn intriquing. I do know that he told me he was shocked to find so many Chesley John Daniel Boatrights....but I see you not only have that name but the name Benjamin Boatright as well! Could you tell me if this is the same BOATRIGHT family? The last couple listed are my gg-grandparents. So I am a direct descendant of this line...if it is correct.
