***NOTES***Nancy Missouri Boozer's daughter Margaret Francis Hawkins married Drayton Luther Ham. Drayton Luther Ham was the son of Emily Boozer, Nancy Missouri Boozer's sister. Mary Caroline Boozer's daughter Mary Elizabeth Boozer married Thomas Jefferson Boozer. Thomas Jefferson Boozer was the son of William Drayton Boozer, Mary Caroline Boozer's brother. So this is two instances of 1st cousins marrying 1st cousins. Then we have Fannie Lester,who is Mary Caroline Boozer's daughter. She married William Irvin Boozer, who was Mary Caroline Boozer's 1st cousin. William Irvin Boozer also was married to Marietta Stanmore Boozer. Marietta Stanmore Boozer was the daughter of Stanmore S. Boozer,who was also a 1st cousin to William Irvin Boozer. So this is two instances of 2nd cousins marrying. William Irvin Boozer is the son of Daniel C.Boozer. Daniel C. Boozer was Henry Boozer's brother.
