Can anyone help me with this? I am still looking for Sarah Jane Boatwright, b. 1845 AR, last found in 1870 Iron Co, MO. Could this be her: Jennie Boatwright md. Francis Symon (Simmons?) 1870 Iron Co? And where is she after this marriage date? Thank you very much! Kay, FL Francis Symon – Jennie Boatwright (possibly Sarah Jane Boatwright?) Pg 271: I hereby 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. H. Woods, Pastor [Mo. E. Church, Farmington, MO] Note of interest - this is NOT the same Jennie; this one is much younger: Iron County Register Newspaper, Ironton, MO, February 14, 1884, Pg 5 - this may or may not be connected: Marriage Licenses issued: Lee Ruble - Jennie Simmons(Lee Ruble, b. in Iron Co, but Ruble/Seamonds marriage may have taken place in Texas Co, MO) 'My' Julia Boatwright disappears after the 1870 Iron Co, MO census. Her mother, and two younger sisters moved to Illinois after the death of William Boatwright (husband/father) and John Boatwright (son/brother). Mary Boatwright and daughter Josephine Boatwright are residing in Jackson Co, IL by 1880; Julia Boatwright md. Robert McLaughin and is residing in 1880 Union Co, IL and 1900 Jackson Co, IL. (Union and Jackson are bordering counties).
