This is commonly reported by genealogies. I found one fairly detailed genealogy, however, that has a birth date in 1853 for Thomas. The 1920 census record that appears to be for him has his age as 68, which would put birth about 1852. The following genealogy record reports him correctly as the son of George Washington Boren and Rachel Davis.

In 2008, reporting information from Tucker family records, Jessie McPherson Jenkins wrote of G W Tucker: "He married (1) R A Bostwick. She was born abt 1854 in AR." The name is known in Tucker family records as R A Bostwick. By late September 2010, the only public record I had found for R A Bostwick Tucker was the 1880 census, where she is reported as R A Tucker. Then I received some information referencing additional sources. Comment on Ancestry Tree R A Bostwick (Bostic) Charlotte Parker added this on 27 Sep 2010 "R.A. is my paternal gggrandmother (her first son Joe T. Parker, is my grandfather). I have not been able to find death record or burial on her, so this info on when George W. Tucker remarried is helpful. Her name is shown as Roseanna Bostic in 1870 US Census ...." The initials R A could be for Rose Ann or Rose Anna. After receiving this message I found the Ancestry transcription of the marriage record: Arkansas Marriages, 1851-1900 Marriage Record Book B, Page 290 G. W. Tucker Spouse: Rosanna Parker Marriage 28 Jun 1877 Lonoke County, AR The 1870 census reports a daughter Roseanna Bostic, which seems to match our R A Bostwick, with her parents in Pulaski County. 1870 Federal Census, Pulaski County, Arkansas, 14 July, Caroline Township, PO Little Rock, page 22, Hse #142, Fam #143 Bostic, Thos 42 M W Farmer $200 Real Estate $300 Personal b Tennessee Bostic, Sarah 34 F W Keeping House born England Cannot read or write Bostic, Thomas 20 M W Farm Laborer born Arkansas Cannot read or write Bostic, Roseanna 16 F W At Home born Arkansas Cannot read or write Bostic, Doctor 14 M W At Home born Arkansas Cannot read or write Bostic, Mary 12 F W At Home born Arkansas Cannot read or write Bostic, Bill 9 M W born Arkansas Cannot read or write Bostic, Sarah 5 F W born Arkansas Bostic, Susan 2 F W born Arkansas There are numerous other Bostic families in Vilonia and Cypress Townships of Faulkner County: marriage records, censuses, and other records. These seem to be from the same lineage as Roseanna's family. This may mean the original spelling of their name was Bostic. It could mean the original Bostwick was simplified to Bostic. In 1871, Roseanna married Taylor Parker in Pulaski County, Arkansas. Pulaski County, Arkansas Marriage Record Taylor Parker To R A Bostic I, J C Forbess, an Ordained Minister of the Gospel in the State of Arkansas, herby certify that on the 10th day of September 1871, at the County of Pulaski in the State of Arkansas, did duly join in marriage Taylor Parker aged 22 years and Miss R A Bostic aged 18 years amd did declare them husband and wife. Filed 17 Oct 1871 -- Document from the Arkansas Historical Commission, courtesy research of C Parker, 31 July 2013, accessed 20 April 2016 In the 1880 census, R A Bostwick is reported with her second husband George Washington Tucker. The two initials R A could have been taken by the 1880 enumerator for two names -- as we sometimes find on censuses, and in her marriage record above -- where the original was understood by the family as one double name. This census record reveals that she had been married first to a man name Parker. The oldest child in the household is J T Parker, age 5. From this age we can estimate that Roseanna married Mr Parker about 1874. A very interesting feature of this census entry is that R A is listed first, but the House and Family numbers are on George's line. Even though she is listed first, R A is Keeping House and George is a Farmer. Neither she nor George have a designation as Head or any other relation, but the others in the household are reported in their relation to R A, not George! 1880 Federal Census, Cross County, Arkansas, 9 June, Bedford Township, District 65, page 7, Hse #62, Hse #65 Tucker, R A W F 26 Married Keeps House AR KY England [born abt 1854] Tucker, George W M 25 Married Farmer TN AR KY TN [born abt 1855] Bostwick, Wm W M 18 Brother Farm Laborer AR KY England [born abt 1862] Tucker, G T W M 2 Son AR AR AR [b abt 1878] Tucker, J M W M 6mos born Dec 1879 Son AR AR AR Parker, J T W M 5 Son AR AR AR Tucker Researcher Linda Matchett reports the Parker son as Joe T Parker: "all I have on Joe T.

Frank Tucker (I would think the G. was George, but never saw it as such), born Mar 28 1878 in Cross Co. AR, died Aug 19 1903 in Shawnee, OK. It's not in my notes, but I'm sure I've heard he was struck by lightning, causing his death. He was in the 1880 census, Bedford twp, Cross Co. AR in the home of his father George W. Tucker, shown as G. T. Tucker, age 2. 2) J. M. Tucker, born Dec 6 1879 in Cross Co. AR; in 1880 census in Bedford twp., Cross Co., AR in home of his father, age 6 months; died as an infant. -- Linda Tucker Matchett, email to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 27 September 2010 ---------------------------------------------------

This Theobold (Theobald) is the son of the first Norman "Butler" of Ireland, an office of service to the young Norman dynasty in England and Europe, expanding and strengthening its hold on territories since the 1066 invasion of England by William the Conqueror. It appears that either Hervey Walter (born abt 1150) or his son Theobald (born abt 1170) was the first FitzWalter to be given the title of Butler (Boteler, or Botiler/Botiller) for the King of England in Ireland. This line took the name Butler after this, though the name FitzWalter also continued in both Ireland and England. Dates vary considerably, and this presents some problems for the family of Theobold 2nd Butler. Sources indicate he had three wives. Some genealogies have only part of the information for his family, showing only the first wife, with Theobold as the son of Joan. Others have two wives, showing Rohese as the mother of the son Theobold who inherited the Butler responsibilities. Birth dates don't match between sources. Some dates for Theobold 3rd Butler would make Joan Du Marais his mother, while others have him later with Rohese as his mother. See details in the footnotes. I have finally followed credible, commented sources indicating Theobald was the child of Joan Du Marais. It appears from the dates that Joan likely died in childbirth. One Ancestry World Tree, http://awtc.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:2738450&id=I12934, reports the birth date of 1223, and specifically says Joan de Marreis is his mother. Provides details from Butler Family History. This source, however, also reports Theobald 3rd Butler was born in Norfolk, England, rather than Arklow, Ireland, as several other sources report. Another old source reports that Margery de Burgh's husband Theobald 3rd Lord Butler/Botiler died in 1248, not 1285 as the below source reports. THe latter date is reported elsewhere as the date of death of their son Theobald 4th Lord Butler, while the source below reports the son dying in 1321. The following report from a World Family Tree genealogy shows the transition and early generations of Botelers I show in my genealogy. I note that this genealogy shows dates of birth and death from 12 to 40 years earlier than other sources I have seen. There are also differences in the wives' names, with the same wives' names assigned to husbands in different generations.

Theobold is also seen as Theobald. And as with the whole Boteler/Butler line the last name is spelled in various ways: DeBotiler, leBoteler, Botiller, etc. Arklow is the primary Butler castle. It is located in Wicklow County. Wicklow is one county in the Province of Leinster. Modern Leinster incorporates the ancient kingdoms of Meath (Midhe) and Leinster.
Became 1st Lord Dunboyne through his wife, who was heir to Dunboyne and Molyngar (Mullingar). He was active in the service of the Plantagenet Kings of England in the campaign to subdue the Irish. He died in battle in 1329 while commanding the English (Anglo-Irish) army at the battle of Mullingar, named after the nearby town in Westmeath County, in Leinster Province, Ireland.

Illustrative is the following.

As far as I have been able to determine, there is no location named Oversley in Shropshire. Oversley is a location Warwickshire, where some sources indicate the Butlers had connections. This place of death should thus be reported as Wem, unless we find alternative information indicating the place of death was Oversley, Warwickshire, instead. The Peerage indicates birth and death at Wem.
