Bosher Charles (1 results)

Unbound. Condition: Very Good binding. Bifolium. 4 pp. Unbound, folded sheet with printing on all four pages. Old folds; some toning. This genealogical leaflet offers a paragraph of the earliest known Boshers with particular focus on Charles Bosher of England and Charles's children. There is particular focus on the issue of the Charles's youngest son, Gideon. In addition to names and marrages, there are occasionally biographical notes, usually only a line but telling: "[John Bosher's] wife was burned in the old theatre in 1811, the site of the present Monumental Episcopal Church [in Richmond, VA]." Or, "[James] succeeded Charles Bosher in 1814 in the present carriage business carried on by R. H. Bosher's Sons." On contemporary owner note in the text: "This is our line," else clean. A remarkably uncommon leaflet that appears unrecorded in the usual bibliographies and references. We find one mention on a genealogical wikisite that attributes the printing to Charles Bosher and the date to "about 1888"; both of which seem contextually plausible. Remarkably ephemeral piece with noteworthy information.
