NOTES: on the 1850 Taney Co. census there is another child listed as S. (Sarah Aday) b. 1832 Tenn.  I do not believe this is Boaz Adays child and have no information of a prior marriage for Martha Williams, however, W. G. H. Aday states is his pension file tha Sarah Aday is his sister.
 Boaz Aday left Tenn. sometime after William B. Aday was born in 1831 in Lawrencebrug, Lawrence Co. Tenn., came to the Ozarks and married Martha Williams or married her in Tenn. before he came to the Ozarks.
