Samuel Boatwright, b. 5 August 1832, was a son of Lewis Boatwright, Sr. and Elizabeth Rebecca Davis.

Samuel married Sarah Ann Hurst about 1851. This date is based on their first child arriving in Dec 1852.  Sarah Ann Hurst, b. 10 Mar 1826 was a daughter of Isaac Hurst and Henriette “Ritta” Rivers. Their family would grow by an additional 4 children for a total of five siblings before the untimely death of  their Father, Samuel on 19 February 1863.

Sarah Ann would raise the children as a “single parent” never remarrying after the loss of Samuel.

This estate folder begins at image #367 and ends with image #371. (images 367-371)



Samuel Boatwright was born 5 August 1832, a son of Lewis Boatwright, Jr and his wife Elizabeth Rebecca Davis. 

He married Sarah Ann Hurst daughter of Isaac Hurst and Henrietta Rivers.

On 19 February 1863, Samuel Boatwright, age 30 passed away. We have no record from that period; so we don't know how Samuel died. Most likely it was either a heart attack or some sort of accident.

Samuel’s probate folder (#80) consists of only 4 pages of which only one page contained significant data. That page is image #370. This page shows outstanding notes due to the estate and verification by the administratrix that this is a true and factual listing. Double Click the images to enlarge.
