Generation No. 4

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.
