I am researching the Boatman family of Highland Co., OH. For years I've wondered who the little Clark girls were that were found living with my g-g-grandparents on the 1850 census for Jackson Township, Highland Co., OH. My g-g-grandparents were Henry and Leah MARQUISS Boatman.

Besides their own large family they had living with them Lucinda Clark, age 13, and Sarah Clark, age 7. Both b.in OH.

In the 1840 census, a Christopher Clark and family were neighbors to my Boatmans.

Last night I found a copy of page 284 of a book (I think the name is) "Marriages of Highland Co., Ohio." In 1835 an Elizabeth Boatman married a Christopher Clark. This was a big find!!!

The parents of my above mentioned g-g-grandfather were Elias and Mary "Polly" KINNER Boatman. There has always been a couple of gaps in this family's group sheet. They had eight known children - but I only have names and information for six. The oldest child is my g-g-grandfather Henry Boatman. The next to oldest child I BELIEVE is Elizabeth Boatman Clark. The fact that my g-g-father took in his younger sister's kids makes sense.

I don't believe the Clark girls continued to live with Boatman family.

If any of this line is connected to you or you have any information - please response.
