Hampshire. (CD- Local and Family Histories, New England, 1600-1900)
His tombstone marker is in the Oak Hill cemetery in Herkimer NY. As he was
originally buried in the Old Village Cemetery it is not known whether
his body was moved with the stone when the cemetery was converted to a
park.
Boaz was married three times. The birth order and the mothers of some of
the children are uncertain.
Boaz Brown's wives were first: Sarah
White, the mother of Sallie; next: Sally Lowell, the mother of Olive; and last:
Alice Olive Meyers. Either Sally or Alice Olive could have been the mother of
the remaining children as there are no records to date to indicate their
mothers. Alice is believed to be the mother of Franklin who was born in 1822

mother of Sallie according to Boxborough records.
