In the fall of 1865, Boston Taylor left Iowa and traveled to MO. With him was Elizabeth Bundron (formerly Miss Moore) and perhaps several children by the late Mr. Bundron. Where did they move to?............... supposedly ....... Spring Hill, Pike Co., MO. What was the child's name that would have been born 1865-1867 (last name could have been Bundron but probably Taylor). When and where did Boston and Elizabeth die? It is thought Boston died before 1878 & have no idea about Elizabeth. She may have been a Taylor by the time of her death. Boston was considered an honest but poor man. ANY help will be appreciated. Thank you. Z

Census Place: Salt River, Pike, Missouri Source: FHL Film 1254709 National Archives Film T9-0709 Page 679C Relation Sex Marr Race Age Birthplace John W.

There are several Bundren in Macon County but no Elizabeth. Checking further, I found a Boston in Randolph County, MO, which is only a few counties west of Pike. This is just an index for the HOH. The full census should tell you more.
