Hi Ronnie! While browsing the Boren list on rootsweb, I found out that you were a Boren!! I also have a Boren ancestor-Abigail Boren who mar. James/John Chappell. Too many lines of Boren's in Pickens County!! They all associate with one another, but cannot connect with them. In one message on the list, you mentioned having a pic of Henrietta Boren and several of her grandchildren. Would you mind sending to me? I have loads on Abigail Boren Chappell's descends. Also, James Boren and Delilah Chappell Boren's descends. I have been in contact with Ben Boren's mother, Marilyn. Would like to compare Boren info with you. Patricia A.

Patricia, Hi. My line of Borens changed the spelling to Bowen. I hear that Henrietta did that. The story goes that she was going to marry a man (I will keep his name to myself) whose family had money and didn't like the idea that he was going to marry a poor person. He didn't marry her but did marry a Bowen. His wife and mother-in-law didn't like Henrietta and kept accusing her of doing all sorts of bad things. Once Henrietta changed her last name to Bowen, the accusations stopped. I guess they didn't want their surname dragged through the mud. Henrietta did have two daughters named Ora and Dora. The man she wanted to marry is said to be their father. I guess this is why his wife and her mother weren't to happy with Henrietta. I will scan the picture of Henrietta and the one of Ora's children and send to you. I have also talked with Marilyn Boren and gotten a lot of information from her. I heard the above story from a cousin of my grandmother. It would be nice if someone could connect the different Boren families to each other.
