Hi everyone, I have a letter which may be of interest to someone researching Logan Co. The writing is very faint, I am unable to make out the year of the letter for certain, I think perhaps it is possible 1857. I believe at one time this letter was in the possession of my husband's grgrandfather Frederick Boorom (1838-1921). Perhaps he was to deliver it and never did? In 1836 Caleb Hill married Barbara Ann Booram in Hamilton Co. OH. In 1840 they resided in Hamilton Co., but by 1850 they are found in Logan Co. Caleb is age 39, Barbara age 34 and the cencus lists the following children: Margaret J. age 13, Rebecca age 11, Jesse age 7, Nancy age 4 and Harriett age 1. This letter, however is written by a Nancy Hill to her parents Isaac & Jane Sickles in Butlerville, Warren Co. OH. I suspect that Barbara had died and Caleb had married again. I believe that Barbara Ann Booram Hill and Frederick Boorom were siblings, both children of Jesse Booram b. 1780-90 d. 1845, and grandchildren of Aaron Boram/Booram who b. 1760-66, d. Hamilton Co. 1846. I have more info, will share to all interested. Will also welcome comments/info on the letter and the people named within in it. The letter follows, Linda Boorom Hamilton Co.
