Ervin Thetus Brock Boan is a real mystery. Nothing is known of her life prior to the 1900 Census; between her NC Death Certificate and tombstone at Bethesda UMC Cemetery we have 3 different Birth dates for her.
  • Tombstone – 23 March 1875
  • NC Death Certificate – 10 March 1876
  • 1900 Census – March 1881
The 1900 Census for Chesterfield County shows that George W. and Ervin Thetus were married in 1894. Married 6 years with 3 children and all 3 were living. George and Thetus spent their lives in Chesterfield County where George died in 1936.

Their daughter Nora Boan married Lacy King Davis and sometime after 1936 Ervin Thetus went to live with her daughter and Lacy in Statesville, Iredell County, North Carolina.

Ervin Thetus Brock Boan died 1 February 1962 in Statesville, North Carolina and was buried beside her husband George W. at Betheda UMC Cemetery, Chesterfield County, South Carolina.

If you have any information about the parents of Ervin Thetus Brock Boan I would love to hear from you. Her NC death certificate shows that her Father was Ervin Brock and her Mother was Ann Pigg. There are 3 Ervin/Irvin Brock in Chesterfield in the mid-1870’s. None of them had a wife named Ann.
