Amanda Minerva Boor, born 11 March 1850, was the daughter of Michal Boor(1798-c.1870) and Caroline L. Berence (c.1802-1895) of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.Michal and Caroline had twelve children, some born in Pennsylvania, the rest born in Illinois and Ohio.The Michal Boor family are found on the 1850 census of Warren, Tuscawaras County, Oh. and on the 1860 census of Florence, Williams County, Oh.Michal died in Defiance County about 1870.Caroline stayed in Defiance until her death in 1895, while some of her children went to Harrison County, Ohio.Amanda was still with her mother in 1870.
Michal Boor was the son of Johann Wilhelm Boor/Bohr (1753-1820) and wife Maria Elizabeth Schally of Pennsylvania. Johann and Maria had eleven children - sons Nicholas, Michal, and Heinrich (Henry) left Pennsylvania and settled in Ohio.
Johann Wilhelm Boor/Bohr was the son of Johann Michal Bohr (1716-1787) and wife, Anna Margarete (unk) who were immigrants from Germany.Johann Michal was one of several Bohr family members who immigrated on the ship "Priscilla" in 1747.
Presently researching the Bohr family and hope to update the family tree on Rootsweb sometime this summer.
