Hi Kathy. I found Eli and Mahala Booher on the 1860 Sullivan Co, TN Census. Here is what is listed: Eli Booher, 45 Mahala, 44 Alley, 16 Sam'l, 14 Catherine, 10 William S., 8 Mathew, 3 They are living next to David Camper in 1860. (Maybe he married a Booher too?) I'll try to locate them on the 1850 census next week. I'll let you know if I find anything.
