William Borton
My grgr grandmother Mary C. Herron,widow, is listed as keeping house for William Borton,widower, father of James, Martha, John, Laura, and Mary, in 1870 Guernsey co. census. In the next census in 1880 she is listed as wife of William Borton, in Oxford township, Guernsey Co. Ohio.In a book on the history of Guernsey Co. Ohio,it states, William Borton, born 1826, married Mary C. Herron on Jan. 31, 1872. He distills oil of sassafras, pennyroyal, peppermint, & worm seed, mostly sold to a New York drug house.
I would appreciate any information on what happend to William, and Mary.
