Thanks so much. I am just now seeing your post for the first time. Seems like our Boardway turns out to be a Bolton. I believe you have been communicating with my sister about it.

Sarah Whalen? Briggs of Belmont

Family stories of my grandfather Roland Edison Rhoades and his cousin Melvin Flagg point to Sarah Whalen being "an Indian Princess". Not totally sure of her last name. Of course we all know Indians did not have princesses and did not use royalty titles. Even "King" Philip was a white man's title given to him. Back then, before everyone WANTED to be able to say they had Indian ancestry, people were ashamed so that is likely where the "Indian princess" part of the story got added in.Sarah was…See More

Boardway - Boudway et al

I am coordinating this name in Maine. Years ago I went to the American Canadian Gen Soc Library in Manchester and told them I was looking for a Quebec name of Boudway or Boardway. He said "No, you're not; you're looking for something that got turned into that name."Turns out that Francois Xavier Beaudoin md Marie Anne Crozier 6 Feb 1835 in St Marie, Beauce, QC. They moved to Orono Maine in 1852 and became Boardway, a close Americanized pronunciation. Didn't hurt that they also made boards in a…See More
