SARAH

TOWNSEND
(RUTH3
BUNDY,
JOSIAH2,
MOSES1)
was born February 22, 1825 in Belmont Co. Ohio, and died May 3, 1904 in Nevada,
Vernon, Missouri. She married SAMUEL
WELLS
BOICE
1840 in Ohio, son of FRANCIS BOICE
and CATHERINE
RODGERS.
Notes for SARAH
ELIZABETH
TOWNSEND:
Sarah's mother had died
when she was a child. Her father remarried Margaret Brown . She was not fond of
her step mother who she reffered to as "Red Headed Kate".
She met and married
Samuel Boice when she was 13 years old. Samual had been working on a neighboring
farm. Together they would have 12 children.
She was 14 years old when she had the twins.
Family legend has it
that Sarah was left a large sum of money by an Uncle in England. Since they
didn't have much money they hired a local attorney who was described as
"poor as a church mouse". The attorney went to England and returned to
tell them there was no money. The attorney then bought a new house, a new office
and a $100,000 painting.
The Boice's had no
money to sue so they lost everything. It's
interesting to see that lawyers have changed much thru the years.
Notes of interest:
By Naomi Dennison,
Independence Missouri
My grandmother, Sarah Elizabeth Townsend Boice had twins, Abraham and
Isaac who were the
right age to serve in the Civil War. Abraham
being
an invalid, couldn't
serve and Isaac had had a very serious bout of
pneunomia when his call
came. Mr. Boice fearing for the
boy's health,
sold his farm and hired
another man to go in Ike's place. The
family
then loaded up their
household goods, their children and driving their
livestock started out
for Missouri in covered wagons. Grandfather
Boice
was able to buy a
relinquishment near the town of Nevada, Missouri,
where he started
farming again. They had pretty rough
times for many
years, but kept their
family together.
When Sarah Elizabeth's mother, Ruth Townsend, died, Sarah E., was
given the "Family
Genealogical Record" of the Townsend Family, which was
written on a rolled
parchment, and had been brought from England many
years before.
Sarah Boice carried it in the covered wagon to her new
home in Missouri.
This parchment record proved they were descendants of
Lord Horatio Townshend
of Raynham, Norfolk, England.
When the times were rough... little money, and the winters were cold
in Missouri, Isaac, cut
up the parchment for shoe strings for the
younger children who
had to walk three miles to school through snow and
ice.
Sarah E., tried to put as much as she could remember down on
paper, but she only had
home-made ink and by the time (100 years later)
we tried to read it,
the ink had faded and nothing would restore the
writing.
(The paper is still in possession of Naomi Dennison).
Years later when the Townshend Estate of Raynham, Norfolk, England
came up for
settlement... the American descendants in Missouri, hired a
lawyer to represent
their interests. The lawyer's name
was Harding, and
he lived in Kansas
City... not a very good lawyer and certainly not a
wealthy one.
One of Sarah Boice's sons went with him to England to
protect the family
interest.
The men returned... in time... without
the estate, at least so far as
the family was
concerned, but the Boice man soon was able to buy a very
rich farm and stock it
with fine registered cattle; send his children
East to finishing
schools, and became so "uppity" that he would have
nothing to do with the
rest of the family. Mr. Harding the
attorney,
suddenly bloomed out
into a BIG BUSINESS MAN, buying into several places
of business in Kansas
City. He bought property in the
"Swank-upper-class
district," and ran for several offices.
He died a
few years later... a
very very rich man.
NOTE:
This was the legend I had heard all of my life and the one that
had started me on the
quest of our ancestors.

Notes for SAMUEL
WELLS
BOICE:
When his son Isaac was
drafted to serve in the Union Army, (Isaac was recovering from phnemonia) Samuel
fearing for his son's life, sold his farm and paid a substitute to go in his
place.
He then bought a
covered wagon and horses and started the family west. He ended up in Missouri
but his children met married and settled along the way.
Once in Missouri he
farmed tabacco and made baskets which he sold to supplement his income.

wife's old boyfriend returned from the army and they ran off. Isaac was left
with the infant child to care for. He decided to go to Missouri to join the rest
of the family. His mother-in-law who had been taking care of his son begged him
to leave the boy with her which he did.
Isaac later married
Harriet Porter who had a son Frank from her previou marraige. They were married
and moved on to Missouri.
