Biography

‘Children of Michael and Mary (Boot)s Alt’ [manuscript: 2001]: of Michael Alt’s 12 children, only first 8 are certainly those of Mary Boots; remaining 4 likely a second marriage to a Mary after presumed death of Mary Boots — see each child’s entry for datings

1850 Fayette Co., OH census (Marion township) p. 57B [ll. 7-14]: daughter Mary, wife of John Rhodes, gives Maryland as birthplace (which may reflect upon mother’s birthplace as well as father’s, known to be in MD);

Clara Mae Ross’s "Jacob Alt" [2001] pp. 258 & 265: (p. 258): ‘(p. 265): cites 1st wife’s father’s will of 19 Apr 1802, naming children of his daughter, Mary, to that date and still living, as heirs, rather than his daughter, Mary; 4 [youngest] children [of Michael Alt, Sr]’ are by his probable 2nd wife.

‘From the death record[s] of Isaac and Jane [aka Ginna], it lists their parents as Michael & Mary. Possibly both wives of Michael Alt had the same name, Mary.’
