Description

1912

In 1912 Analysis of birth parents for Bernice Elizabeth Macy (born 03 July 1912):
Likely father: Charles F. Boyer
Likely mother: Elizabeth M. Foster
---------
DNA test links to likely great grandfather as Henry Foster and grandfather as Jackson Foster. DNA matches with 3 of the 4 children of Jackson and Jennie Foster (Ava, Lula and Bessie) indicates a DNA connection through a sibling (not any of those direct lines), so pointing to Elizabeth Foster as birth mother. Elizabeth was unmarried in 1912, and married Clarence Porter in 1917. They had no children.
---------
DNA shows connection to Boyer line. Potential father Charles F. Boyer. Charles was a night marshall and he worked in the oil fields in Kansas. In 1909 Charles was married to Mary Ann Scott and had a baby girl in 1910. No other children were born to that union.
---------
In the 1910 census the Lizzie (Elizabeth) Foster family and the Charles Boyer family lived in Willow Fork and Pilot Grove, Missouri respectively, which are only 20 miles apart.
--------
according to William Aubra Chamber's WW1 draft registration, the family was living in Des Moines, Iowa in 1917. I cant find solid evidence that they were there in 1911-1912 when Elizabeth was pregnant, but if they were it would not be unreasonable that she, unmarried and pregnant, would have left Willow Fork and gone to stay with her sister's family in Des Moines where Bernice was born.
