Abraham March married Elizabeth Booe on 5 Jun 1816, Jacob March married Fanny Booe on 10 Aug 1816. They were therefore two different people, and we suspect that they were the oldest sons of Jacob March and Margaret Hinkle. The will of George Booe names children of his daughter Elizabeth, wife of Abram March: Hampton, William, and Archibald March, and Nancy Wilborn. Jacob Booe's will (1842) names his daughter Fanny's children W.B. March, Polly March, Meloney White, Mary Ann White, and Lindsey D. White. Fanny Booe March married James White of Guilford County in August, 1831, and was deceased by November 1840, when Jacob Booe gave land to his grandchildren William B. March and Polly March.<P> We believe that William Booe March is therefore the son of Fanny and Jacob.<P> <HR> Children of William Booe March and Mary Mariah Gaither<BR> Mary Frances March (1844-aft. 1880) m. Dr. Rush Williams in 1862, Davie County.<BR> Alice March (1845-1879) did not marry<P> William Booe March was Sheriff of Davie County, NC in 1850. Mary Mariah died in 1847 and William and his two girls were living with his brother in law's family, Henry R. Austin and <a href="gaither.html">Elvira Gaither</a> Austin.<P> The following article appeared in People's Press, 1853: Shot.__We learn that John Hall, (trader) shot William March, ex-sheriff of Davie County, a few days since, in the streets of Mocksville. We have no particulars. March's wounds are supposed to be mortal, and Hall has been arrested and imprisoned. The parties had been at variance for some time.<P> Despite the prediction of mortal wounds, he survived, and lived on until September 1897. He gave up being sheriff, however, as in 1860 his occupation is given as "trader and farmer" and in 1870 simply as "farmer". <P> Mary Frances March Williams and her husband are absent from the Davie County census in 1870. In 1880, she and her two daughters, Stella and Luna, are living with her father.
