    3. This isn't Washington County, but its close so I thought I'd go ahead and ask if anyone might be able to help me determine what became of the following Jennie Boatwright, who married Francis Symon in 1870 Iron County, MO: Iron County, MO Marriages: Pg 271 - I certify that on the 22nd day of Sept, 1870, I united in the Holy Bonds of Matrimony, Francis Symon and Jennie Boatwright, both of the County of Iron and State of MO – J.C. Hobbs, Pastor, M.E. Church, Farmington, MO Sept 26th 1870….Wm.R. Taylor, Clerk I 'suspect' Jennie Boatwright is Sarah Jane Boatwright, b. 1845 AR (eldest daughter of William & Mary Boatwright in 1860 & 1870 Iron County: 1860 Iron County MO: Boatwright - Wm 45 b IL Mary A 35 b TN Sarah J 15 b AR John 13 b AR Mary 7 b MO Julia 5 b MO Josephie 3 b MO 1870 Township 34 Range 3 East, Iron, MO (Note: William actually died in the Fall of 1866) William Boatwright abt 1814 Illinois Mary Boatwright abt 1824 Missouri Jane Boatwright abt 1845 Arkansas John Boatwright abt 1849 Arkansas Mary Boatwright abt 1853 Missouri Julia Boatwright abt 1857 Missouri Josephine Boatwright abt 1859 Missouri I could not find a Francis Symon in the Iron Co area, but did find a Francis Shrum and a Francis Simmons... (Note that Township 34, Range 3 East matches the location for the Boatwright family in 1870 census above.) 1870 Township 34 Range 3 East, Iron, MO Francis Shrum abt 1838 Illinois White Male 1870 Township 30 Range 4 East, Iron, MO Francis M Simmons abt 1852 Tennessee White Male Sarah Jane is the only sibling still left to find. I lose her after the 1870 census. Her brother, John died right after the 1870 census. Her sister, Julia md. Robert McLauglin and resided in Murphysboro, IL & St. Louis, MO. (note: this is not the same Julia Boatwright who md.John Clubb and resided in St. Francois, Co., MO) Her other sister, Mary md1 Wm Trapp and md2 John Dosing and remained in Iron/St. Francois Co's. Her youngest sister, Josephine & her mother, (also named) Mary Boatwright appear in 1880 Murphysboro, Jackson Co, IL (w/ Josephine's sons, Robert & William Boatwright). Any leads in finding Julia, or in ruling out Francis Simmons and/or Francis Shrum will be very much appreciated! -Kay, FL
