Query Text:

In the 1910 US Federal Census for Sullivan County, TN, Civil District 6, William A. Booher is living with his SECOND wife of three years, Sarah S. Booher, twin sons from his FIRST marriage, Robert C. and John C. (11 years of age) and one-month old son, Roy L. from his marriage to Sarah S. The census indicates William’s current marriage as his second, and Sarah’s marriage to William A. as her first. I located the twins, Sarah S., and Roy in the SSDI and sent for a copy of each of their original applications for a social security number. The SSDI indicates the twins were born on 23 Jun 1899 which coincides with their ages (11 years) in the 1910 census recorded on 23 Apr 1910. Both applied for a social security number on the same day, 3 Dec 1936; however, both list their date of birth as 23 Jun 1901. The form did indicate the date of birth was subject to later verification. Robert Kaneils Booher (middle name probably pronounced with a “C” sound, thus Robert’s middle initial listed as “C” by the 1910 census recorder) and his twin brother, John Cleiton Booher, were born in Lebanon, Russell County, VA to Will Booher and Millie Hawkins. Both were employed by Bristol Knitting Mills, Inc. in Bristol, VA, and both served in the 40th Infantry Army. Their social security numbers are one digit different. I located the marriage record of 21-year old W.A. Booker (Booher), born in Sullivan County, TN, son of Allen and Cynthia Booker (Booher), to 21-year old Millie Hawkins, born in Russell County, VA, daughter of W.R. and Midie Hawkins. William and Millie were married on 22 Aug 1898 by Minister A. Mays. About 1907, William A. Booher married Sarah S. Sarah’s Form SS-5 was not available, but the Social Security Administration provided a copy of her Form OAC-790 which states Sarah Susan Booher, born 1 Jul 1888, was the daughter of Wiley McClain of Scott County, VA, and Mary Folkner. Sarah’s maiden name is spelled McCLAIN and not McLAIN. Roy Lee Booher’s Form SS-5 indicates he was born 3 Mar 1910 in Blountville, TN, to William Andrew Booher and Susann McClain (typist misspelled Susan). Roy applied for his social security number on 24 Nov 1936. He was then employed by ? Lumber Company in Bristol, TN. The company name must have been stamped on the form in red; it is faint and not completely legible. Have any other Booher researchers come across this same information? Does anyone have information on Millie Hawkins?
