BOSLEY WILLIAM W 48 M W WV 1900 > WEST VIRGINIA > MINERAL > NEW CREEK DIST Series: T623 Roll: 1766 Page: 87
The last entry in his household seems to be his father; can anyone read Dad's name?? I'd like it to be a certain word so I don't want to trust myself. (g)

I also read that as John. Also, the West Virginia Vital Records has a John Boseley, aged 76, 3 months, 28 days, dying on 22 July 1901 in the New Creek District of Mineral County. Spouse/information name was given as W. W. Boseley, mother as Harriet Boseley and father as Wm. Boseley.

I noticed that! The wife seems to be the key player in keeping those families separate - that is, if you're lucky enough to have a William who managed to keep the same wife throughout his life <grin>.
Don't know if it makes a difference or not, but if I remember correctly, this particular William left Mineral County and went to Barbour County.

I found (after the OQ) an on-line database that, if true, explains a lot. (g) Seems the wife I had for a man was the 2nd (which I had supposed). What I hadn't known was -- he had a dozen kids with his first wife! IF I assume it's true, then almost all my stand-alones come into line. As a working hypothesis, it's good for me, until I get around to checking out whether he left a will...the living family doubt he had a tuppence to bless himself with, so we hadn't looked. Then again, 18 kids would do that to a man, I guess?
