Following is information on Sarah Jane Boles. If you use any of this information, I would appreciate noting my name as as your source. Sarah "Jane" BOLES was born, probably in Van Zandt or Henderson Co, TX. In the 1860 Census she is shown age 3, born TX, living in the household with her father and mother, William F and Nancy BOLES and older sister Alace C, age 4. In the late 1860's, after the apparent death of her father, went with her Mother and siblings to Forney, Kaufman Co. TX to live. Jane married James Matthew Daugherty 28 Jul 1876, Kaufman County Texas. Memory of grandson Frank W Daugherty was that Sarah "Jane" Boles was part cherokee thru her father's side. From her photo, she certainly looks part Cherokee. Jane's uncle Levi Boles moved to Indian Territory (IT) Oklahoma so he could apply to Guion Miller to be recognized as Cherokee. Family lore is that the "Indians" came to visit. Perhaps they were some of these relatives from IT. Sarah's death certificate shows her parents as "John" Boles and Nancy Jane Powell. Sarah's mother's obituary shows "William Boles".An early History of Forney & Surrounding Communities by Lou Emma (Price) Ritter state Sarah's parents as William and Nancy Jane (Powell) Boles. The 1860 of Henderson shows shows William living with wife Nancy daughters Alice C and Sarah J. She is sometimes confused with another Sarah Jane Boles who was the daughter of a John Wesley Boles and Elizabeth Jane Blocker also of Kaufman Co.
