RESEARCH NOTES
- according to 1855 NY census, son Charles is listed as Charles Mayborn, step-son to Edwin Boorman. Similarly a second stepson with last name of Orr is listed:
Stepson Henry Orr M 13 [or 19?], step son, b. Ry?, 1 yr in area
Did Mary have 2 previous relationships? Due to order of listed names, could Henry Orr be stepson of the laberer Henty Grennis?

- from another researcher on ancestry [no doubt based on the 1855 NY census]:
BOORMAN, Edwin spouse of Mary O born 1818 died 1898
BOORMAN, Mary Orr spouse of Edwin born 1805 died 1897

- How many of the children attributed to Edwin Boorman were actually from Mary’s previous marriage(s)?
From http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nychauta/CEMETERY/Mansion.htm:
Mansion Road Cemetery, Sherman, NY
On the Jesse Mansion Farm on the hill side is a small clump of trees in which is 1 small marker still standing.
1. Joseph, son of J. and E. Boorman, died March 2, 1857, age 1 year.
Down the road is where the Mayborne family lived. The house burned on Christmas day a few years ago. For a walk, face down were markers taken from the above clump of trees. Since the walk was bull-dozed over, there were only pieces of markers left.
1. Mary - dau. of C & M [does this stand for Charles and Mary Maybourne?]
2. Margaret
3. ___ Maybourne d. Aug 2, 1853, age 22 years. [b about 1831]
"Upon her lips sweet council develt
and in her heart pure love
and reigns with him above."
The Maybourne Girls mother married Edwin Boorman.

Mary Kidder tells me the Boormans went west and wrote letter to have the bodies moved into town on the Boorman lot.

- there is a Moscow Luther Church Cemetery - but he is not listed as buried there on findagrave

- NOT TRUSTWORTHY: some other AF trees on familysearch, list her as Maria Ann (Boorman) Dodge married 3 times: 1) R G Dodge, 2) John Keolk / Kelok, 3) Jared Rias; her birth 24 Jun 1818 London, death 21 Jan 1905 Humboldt SD. According to submitter ablikens2731430 - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.2.1/9HRH-VK3:
“NECESSARY EXPLANATIONS: MARIA ANN (BORMAN)(DODGE) WAS BORN 30 MILES FROM LONDON ENGLAND BUT UNABLE TO DETERMIN JUST WHERE. THERE WERE SEVEN CHILDREN BORN TO MARIA ANN BORMAN, DUE TO THE DIFFERENT SIRNAMES, NOT SURE WHO THE FATHER(S) ARE, (MARY ROOT), (F.B.LOCKWOOD), (EMILIE TATTER), (S.FRANSON), (GIRL-NAME UNKNOWN), (BOY-DIED IN INFANCY). ! SORCES OF INFORMATION: GERTRUDE EDITH WEBSTER STOKES, LETTER OF 22 OCT 1990. THE FIRST HUSBAND OF MARIA ANN BORMAN WAS R.G. DODGE, A BAPTIST MINISTER. HER SECOND HUSBAND WAS JOHN KELOK, THEY WERE MARRIED 31 MARCH 1839 [probable typo - also stated as 31 March 1873]. MARY ANN TOOK A THIRD HUSBAND, JARED RIAS (CREEK INDIAN) FROM THIS MARRIAGE CAME LYDIA OTELIA DODGE RIAS.” - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.2.1/9HRH-VK3
Something here is amiss because Gilead Dodge is still living with Mary Ann in 1880 census

- Also reference: http://freepages.family.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~gen...ilyj/aqwg82.htm#1595

- Reference: Dirksen, Webster, Howlett family tree on ancestry by gardengirldb. Says she married twice, One was Ramoth Gilead Dodge (1796-1880)

Mary Ann married Gilead DODGE. Born abt 1796 in New York, USA. Gilead died aft 1880; he was 84.

In 1842 he was married to Elizabeth SPARKS who died April 29, 1881; after 2 yrs he again married to Orcelia CHAPMAN who survives him

RESEARCH NOTES
- as posted on Rootsweb Chautauqua Co. NY Bios Forum, 6 Jan 2001 by Dee: in 1874, Charlotte, wife of Thomas M. SPARKS who died in the army, (Civil War); SPARKS, Thomas M. died 1863-7-24 lot 1-142 buried Sherman Cemetery; Widow Charlotte (BOORMAN) SPARKS was awarded a widows pension,1864; Thomas served in the NY 112th Co E Infantry

- there is another memorial #46617916 for a Charlotte Boorman Sparkes Hill (1830- 16 Oct 1893) also in Sherman cemetery, but the gravestone says the names are :
John Hill 1824-1908
Charlotte his wife 1830-1902 [NOT 1893]
The dates are different so I think this is a different person and mis-indexed.

Charlotte married Pvt Thomas Munger SPARKES

. Born on 10 Nov 1822. Thomas Munger died in Hospital, Portsmouth, VA, USA, on 24 Jul 1863; he was 40. Buried abt 1863 in Sherman Cemetery, Chautauqua County, New York, USA.

* Hill was the last name of the person on the previous line: Hill, Henry U - below this name, but above the name of Sparkes, Thomas M it says “Charlotte J HIll, widow of” - I think this was recorded on the wrong line, as there really is a Charlotte hill married to a veteran Henry Hill in the NY 1892 census** - what a coincidence that Thomas’s wife was also named Charlotte - don’t think the same one remarried as our Charlotte was buried with Thomas Sparks as his wife ???

BOORMAN, John born 6-12-1829 died 3-31-1909 age 79 - Son of Benjamin & Sarah Hosmer Boorman

- as posted on Rootsweb Chautauqua Co. NY Bios Forum, 6 Jan 2001 by Dee: in 1874 John resides in the west.

- Is this him in the 1905 back in NY? (there were other John Boorman’s born about the same time in NY, but this one was living in Wisconsin in 1900 when his wife died. Did he move back to NY before dying in 1909? ...

RESEARCH NOTES
- 1850 - NOT listed in parent’s household - did he die young?
- is this the same person as William Henry Boorman born 1838 Hollingbourne Kent, possible son of the other Benjamin Boorman and his wife Elizabeth Crouch??? If so he ended up in Minnesota.
