Mary Boyer's mother died on the trip to Texas and it appears that Mary and some of her siblings traveled on with other relatives to Gonzales Texas. Her father went to Arkansas for the rest of his days.

Woods-737 and Boyer-484 do not represent the same person because: Mother and daughter profiles - 2 distinct different profiles with different sets of data ... not the same person.
Woods-741 and Boyer-484 appear to represent the same person because: Please check these - I believe that they are the same
I am the gggrandchild of Mary Ellen Boyer. My mother and myself have the maternal haplotype of H1c1. Can't seem to figure out how to add this.
