Notes

! NOTE: Martin Boots, along with David Connor has the distinction of being the first purchasers of land in Grant County, Indiana. He entered his claim on October 19, 1825. From the United States, to Martin Boots, part of Sections 6, 24, and 8, the land on which the western part of Marion now stands. In 1826, at the time of his arrival to his new purchase, he employed two men, named James and Daniel Cox, to build for him a mill. This at first was only a saw-mill, a "corn cracker," soon after being attached. Accordingly, through the enterprise of Boots, the pioneer as early as 1827 could have his logs sawed into lumber or his corn gound into meal. Many other firsts for our county can be attributed to Martin Boots, also. The first school in Center Twp. was held in a cabin on the Martin Boots farm. The first election of Center Twp. was held in the blacksmith shop of Martin Boots, etc. Under the act of the Legislature, approved February 10, 1831, Charles W. Ewing, William Edwards and William Hunt were authorized to locate the county seat. In selecting the location, they had in view the following places; the farm of William Hiatt, near Jonesboro; the Beatty farm, and the land owned by Boots and Branson. The commissioners agreed to locate the town on the farm of the party who would donate the most land. The land of Boots and Branson joining, each donated thirty acres, reserving lot Nos. 1 and 8 in each block. The proposition was accepted by the Commissioners, and accordingly Martin Boots and David Branson became the proprietors of a town, in honor of Francis Marion, a General of Revolutionary fame, they called Marion. (This is quoted from the Combination Atlas Map of Grant County.) The above was Ray Boots' paternal ancestors, and the Miami Indians, his maternal ancestors. That is a lot to be proud of. One thing I can definately say about Ray Boots, he was very proud of his ancestry. Many times he had told me different things about his heritage. Anyone near could see the pride he had. Ray Boots wasn't a Gray or a Foudray, but he belonged to our family as much as if he had our blood. I can't think of anyone who was always there, no matter what the problem was, to lend a helping hand.
