Boomhower that is a direct ancestor of our family line. I managed to locate some more information about him. His death record says he's the son of Jeremiah and ?? Sawyer. The only candidate 'Jeremiah' that I'm aware of in the region is Lavina's uncle. The death record date matches exactly the report from Hemenway's that you posted, although the cause of death is only described as "Congestion of brain" - no mention of the beating! I'll be posting my sources shortly so that others may see if there is anything useful in them that they may use. My best shot at Hiram's children is: ---------- Descendants of Hiram L. Boomhour 1 Hiram L. Boomhour 1820 - 1868 .. +Mary R. Scott 1823 - 1864 ......... 2 Herbert A. Boomhour 1844 - ......... 2 Olive Boomhour 1850 - ......... 2 Julia A. Boomhour 1858 - ......... 2 Fanny Boomhour 1859 - ......... 2 Charles Kurby Boomhour 1862 - 1863 ......... 2 George Boomhour 1864 - 1864 *2nd Wife of Hiram L. Boomhour: .. +Mary Gilson ......... 2 Ada Mahalch Boomhour 1866 - 1866
