Thank you Phyllis,
I appreciate the response and the information which confirms what I also found out. Our search for the parents of our John W. Boyer b. 1863 W. VA continues.
Our John W. Boyer b.1863 W.VA married abt. 1887 in Ohio to Zelda Belle Fiandt of Hocking Co., OH.Family lore says John raised by a man named Os Morris after his own family drowned in a flood in W. VA, but I've found no records to confirm this story.He first appears 1900 census Wyandot Co., OH with Zelda. They had one son, a George W. Boyer b. 1888 who did not live with them, but was boarded out in 1900 and going to trade school. By 1910 Zelda is in the Ohio Mental Inst. in Lancaster, OH and no sign of John W. Boyer anywhere after that on census although he was known to have lived until after 1930 in Ohio.
Thanks again,
Pamela G. Smith
