I've been working on my inlaws' line a little bit the past few weeks. They descend through Michael Boor, born about 1770 in Bedford County, Pennsylvania. Most research has Michael Boor married to Ane Dorothea, and some research says that Ane Dorothea is the same person as Ann Trout. I'm questioning that link.
It appears there might be two different Michael Boors who married two different Anns.
One Michael Boor was found in the 1840 Census living next to Ann Trout. In the 1850 Census, Michael Boor has an Ann Boor living in his household.

We also found another Michael Boor in the 1840 Census and 1850 Census

Further research showed Michael Boor is the son of Nicholas Boor, who was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. The question is which Michael Boor?

This application showed that Michael Boor's second wife was Ane Dorothea. If this is the case, then Ann Trout from the 1840 Census cannot be the mother of Ann Boor who was born about 1807 or a little later.
Michael Boor( 1770 - 1856)
ReplyDeletehis second wife was Ann Dorthea Trout, a widow with two children.
