In October, 1997, in a letter to her grandson, David Cary Rains, Verna (Boatright) Milstead writes:
"My grandfather, Francis Alexander Boatright was13 years old when his parents...left Kentucky in 1851, taking with them all of their children (12) who were all born in Kentucky, and moved to Missouri where the settled in Gentry County.A few years later, Francis Alexander and two of his brothers, Jesse Stinson and Joseph Marion,came to Arkansas and and settled in Crawford County.
"The Boatrights were pioneer families of Crawford County.Francis Alexander owned and farmed land in the Oak Grove vicinity.His specialty was growing and harvesting sweet potatoes...They were extremely large and a rich red potato.He was referred to as the 'Sweet Potato King' ofCrawford County.The farmers brought their produce into Van Buren on Saturday, parking their wagons at the head of Main Street next to the old Frisco depot.In the centennial issue of Van Buren 'Press-Argus' (Van Buren's only newspaper), there is a picture of the Saturday farmers'gathering and I am sure Granpa's wagon was right there.
"In about 1916, he sold the farm and moved to Wagoner, OK to be near his youngest son.His haealth had been failing due to a stroke and he died December 27, 1918.
" Francis Alexander served in the Army of the Confederacy.As near as can be determined from available records, he enlisted as a Private in 1862 and served for the druation of the war.He served the entire time in what was variously known as McRae's Regiment, Glenn's Regiment and Davie's Regiment.This regiment was also known as the 2nd Regiment Trans-Mississippi Infantry, 28th Arkansas Infantry Regiment and the 36th Arkansas Infantry Regiment.
" The family was yet another example of the divisiveness and long lingering bittterness that resulted from the War for Southern Independence.Three of Francis Alexander's brothers served in the war.Joseph Marion enlisted in the 10th Arkansas Infantry, C.S.A. and was killled in the service.William Taylor and Jacob Gates enlisted in the Union Army in Missouri.Both survived the War."
