Source-7 And of Coarse the David buried in Paperville is the son of Martin and Catharine, I also believe but have no definate proof that the father of our Daniel is Christian and Margaret Roth. I also after lots of research through deed and wills that the Mary on the 1850 Census with Daniel and the Children is Daniels Mother in law and the daughter of Martin and Catharine Booher. I only hope I havent confused you too much.. i could be wrong i think these things are never 100% that is why i don't like putting my work on line because i dont want to have stuff out that that people might copy and it possibly be incorrect...but this is what i have down in my genealogy and I have been working on it for over 25 yrs..if anyone finds it inaccurate I would love to know because i would like to correct it. Thanks for the interest not a lot of people are interested and if i can help you any other way let me know Carol


Daniel and his wife were first cousins, she being the daughter of Mary Booher [unmarried], dau. of Martin Booher.

Note. In the next house is Nicholas Rogers with three Booher children in the household: Sarah, age 10; Reuben, age 6; and Ellen, age 1. I wonder if these could be David's children as the ages would fit with the other children.
