Barbara,
The census taker or whomever copied the census takers original(not all the copies that were microfilmed are the actual census takers work, but may be copies (not xeroxed) made to send to county, state and federal agencies)made an error on this one. If you'll notice for many of the early VA/WV are in alpha order rather than the order the census taker would have listed.
Thomas Boram age 84 is not Thomas but Tamer and not a he but a she. She is Lathe Handleys mother, wife of John Boram. There was no Thomas Boram earlier or later in this vacinity.
Notes form correspondence with Jackie Hatcher in Mar. 2000 who stated in message to me:
"Tamer Borram's death record showing she died on the Kanawaha River, cause of death old age (91) , parents John & Martha Oldaker, born Louden County, VA, Widow, informant Nelson Handley, Son-in-Law.Record in Putnam County, West Virginia."
At the time Jackie & I corresponded the copies of the death certificate were at her sister's house in another state so she could not check the actual date of death but would appear to be ca 1857 if age 91.
