"Note: There was a Thomas Boatwright in Henderson County in 1850. If this Thomas is the same Thomas as the son of Amy, then the Boatwrights who lived in Henderson and Decatur Counties probably are descendants of Richard Rushing. There are White and Hill descendants of a W. H. Boatwright in the Concord Community of Decatur County."
