I've been looking for the final resting place of some ggg-grandparents:
Marcena Brooks b.1789 NY and wife Sarah Boss Brooks b. 1799 NY. Last known
to have been living in Hillsdale Co, MI for about a decade or longer. 1860
census shows them (MM Brooks, Sarah Brooks) in Reading township, Hillsdale
Co. with one son & family nearby (AH, Ellen, Viola, Alice). Daughter &
son-in-law live in Berrien Co. They have 8 living children with families,
several moved to WA in 1870.
I appreciate any help you can give me. I've been searching for them so
long I'm rather attached to them.

Sue,
I don’t have the info you’re looking for but I do have a mystery ‘Boss’ in my Holt family.
We believe Eunice Boss (b. about 1808 in NY; died 18 Jul 1878 in IA) to be the wife of
Nathan Holt (b. 1812 NY; died 1885 Hamilton Co., IA). She may have been previously married
to a Ferry/Terry.
Nathan and Eunice Holt are found in the 1850 Newaygo, MI census and are in IA by 1855. The
Boss name shows up in several places connected with Holts. Some of the Holt family also
moved to WA.
Lots of coincidences; maybe a connection???
