Eliza Wheless - Rhoda Upchurch
Son of Willis Boon and Abigail Unknown
1st cousin to my Kinchin Boon, Jr.
* Gedcom: Boon, Denby, Jones, Foster and Related Families *
Background
Bennett was born about 1815 in Franklin Co., NC where he spent his entire life. When he died, he left four young children from his 2nd marriage, plus 2 older daughters from his first marriage. This sparked several guardianship accounts and an estate that went on for several years after his death.
Marriages
Eliza Wheless
Still looking for more information on Eliza Wheless. If anyone knows her parent's names, please write Ann (Jobe) Brown. There is an excellent chance that she may be a Boon descendant also or connected someway. There were many Wheless intermarriages with the Boon family.We know that Eliza died beween 1840 and August 1850 when her husband remarried. She left two young daughters, Jennett and Celesta.
Rhoda Upchurch
Rhoda was born about 1827 North Carolina and died betweey 1880 and 1892 Franklin Co., North Caroina. She was the daugther of Richmond Upchurch and Susan Bryant. Susan was the daughter of William Bryant and Mary 'Polly' Lewis.
