The Children (all 15 of them) of Charles Booz & Mercy Ann VanHorn
13 children were found on Census records ... it wasn't until I began searching newspapers that I found 2 additional children (Elmer and Mary). Their birth certificates confirm they are children of Charles & Mercy Ann. Why they were NEVER listed on a Census is curious. Also strange is that both these childen have used the alternative spelling of BOOZE as their last name.

Also found is a Hannah Booze. Hannah’s death is listed as 15 December, 1869 … 5 days BEFORE Esther Ann Booz (child #7) died. Hannah is listed on the Ohio Death & Burials as being born in 1852 (same as Esther). IF they were twins why would another child be named Hannah (child #11) when she was born in 1860? They wouldn’t name another child Hannah if the first one was still alive! Yet, there isn’t another Booz/Booze family living in Muskingum COUNTY … much less in Newton Township (where THIS Hannah Booze is listed as dying) … also of consumption. I also wondered if Hannah Booze and Esther Ann Booz might be one-in-the-same … but death dates are different and the Reference Number at the bottom of the records are different.
At this point, confirming Esther & Hannah Booze were one-in-the-same ... OR twins, seems remote, but as the records so closely match the family of Charles Booz & Mercy Ann VanHorn, Hannah Booz (1852-1869) ignoring THIS Hannah might be a mistake. Until we find more info she is included here just for future reference.
