I was contacted by Linda Grimes about the Box family. She is descended from Mary Keys first marriage to William Bolton.
Mary Keys second marriage was to Michael Box.
Linda has send me some information that I will be adding to my file. Linda has giving me permission to share her research with other researchers. I will be glad to forward the information on.

“Wow! Lots of information on the Box family.
The timeline for the Michael Box/Mary Keys Bolton marriage does agree with my family books/dates. Of course, all still speculation until confirmation is found.
A rough timeline of the info you sent plus my family books and research:
-18 Oct 1775, Sarah Bolton born.
-1782, William Bolton (Sarah’s father?) probate in Orange County NC.
-1784, Mary Keys Bolton marries Michael Box Sr.
- 1785, son Josiah Box born.
-Early 1800s, Box/Keys Bolton Family moves to Franklin County (later Banks County) GA.
-1799-1804 John Little living Franklin County, GA part of Wofford Settlement.
-1800-1804 Presumably Sarah Bolton and John Little meet in Franklin County. John is a widower whose youngest child was born 18 Mar 1800 in Wofford Settlement.
-1804, Wofford Settlement report that John Little has a passport to move west through Cherokee lands.
-1805, John Little and a few other Wofford settlers appear on Missouri Territory petition in (what would become) Washington County, MO.
-3 May 1805, John Little and Sarah Bolton Little’s first child born in (what would become) Washington County, MO.
I know these families are not your primary research interest but you appear to have had contact with others who might be interested.
Please feel free to share my contact info and my family books with anyone who might be interested.
Thank you again for sharing your info.”
