"...also given as Eliza...She married first William Boatner. She had a son named Sam Boanter. She removed to Mississippi. Her second husband was William Hatfield. The story is told that she rode horseback to Mississippi carrying a switch from a pear tree. When she arrived at her destination she set it in the ground and it grew into a tree. [1]
Research Notes
Birth Date
Her Birth year is questionable as the profile merged into this one gave an earlier date - 1765 which is recorded on the Non-Burial Find-A-Grave memorial (See sources section for link)
Children
Laura Gaulden knew one of the children - Sam. Research needs to be done to identify and add the rest. Information on the children can be found on the Boatner History Sites link listed in the sources section below.
According to the Boatner Family site, records and the will of Elizabeth Gaulden Boatner Hatfield only had 2 children that were living at least. These were William Jared Boatner and Louisa Boatner. They along with their mother made their way to Mississippi and eventually to Louisiana's what's now known as Norwood. There she married William Hatfield. Unsure where this Sam Boatner came from. This would be interesting to know. There is assumed to be other children, but Sam is not one of the names that has been tossed around. Now, John had a possible brother that has been thought to exist named Samuel. Could this be the Sam in question? If he was Ludwigs so he was young when his father passed away. Maybe his brother and wife took him in till he came of age. This Sam hasn't been proven yet. - Misty Musco
