Notes for JAMES CHRISTOPHER BOARD:

17 Oct 1999 From: "Bren"

My mother just gave me some information about the BOARD family and I wondered if there was any connection to your branch of the family. At this point, we don't know much about them, except they lived in Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia. We were told they came from Maryland. My grandmother was Eloda Grace BOARD. Any information you may be able to send us would be greatly appreciated.

The following information was obtained by my late aunt Alma Fleshman Harper and by interviewing my aunts and uncles other family

members -

Thanks, Bren
