My mother Lila Jane Booher Laws was a GGGG?Grandaughter of John Booher, through Isaac Sr. (brother of Jacob. I have also traced this line with help from the Parrigan story (very famous among both Booher and Fleenor ancestral researchers...all tracing back to Washington County Virginia, where I grew up. If interested you see my family tree on ancestry dot com- "Laws family tree" where I have many lines in Washington County Virginia and the entire area. Good to know you cousin! I have also met Eva Booher (married name) of Santa Monica CA, in 2011, as we met while My son was attending USC in Los Angeles. He now lives in Santa Barbara.

With so many children & grandchildren, there are probably many cousins out there who descend from John Booher. Her story is definitely invaluable for keeping all the Boohers from getting mixed together.Patrick Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00017739832967378472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534357130899503662.post-87188228032755720822015-01-19T15:24:09.509-05:002015-01-19T15:24:09.509-05:00What a treasure--both to have found this elder rel...What a treasure--both to have found this elder relative, and to have a transcribed copy of her story. The "institutional knowledge" of our families' elders is priceless, and in many cases, the only recollection of our families' micro-history in existence. How wonderful for you, Patrick, that that keepsake became part of your family's heritage!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.com
