Dear Researchers of the Lewis County, Kentucky Mailing List, Benjamin WOODWORTH was the Mate on a Steamboat on the Ohio River in 1860. He was enumerated in the 1860 Census of Lewis County, Kentucky, Dwellinghouse 1223, with $2000 in land and $1000 in personal property. He was 28 years old, born in Ohio. Elizabeth WOODWORTH was 21, also born in Ohio. Ruie C., female, was 11 months old, born in Ohio. Also in their home was Lydia JONES, 18, born in Kentucky. Two houses away, in Dwellinghouse 1221, lived Henry MCKEE and John BOYLE, who were business partners in Quincy, Lewis County, Kentucky, in land speculation and as merchants ["Traders"]. John BOYLE's obituary [he died in 1901] stated that he had been a steamboat captain "in antebellum days". Putting these facts together, we have a man who was a Steamboat Captain before the Civil War living two houses away from a man who was a Mate on a steamboat. Were these two men, Captain John BOYLE and Benjamin WOODWORTH, associated with the same steamboat? If so, what was the name of the vessel? Randal W. Cooper <[email protected]> Lorain, Ohio
