son of Gaspar Suber & Sarah Root
"Suber, Micajah received damage to his dwelling house and broken chimneys; a large dairy overturned; fences and palings leveled to the ground during a cyclone, Herald 2/21/1884, page 3; Micajah Suber donated $1,000 for the erection of Mt. Pleasant Methodist Church in 1822. Newberry Observer, 12/6/1893"
"Even after these Boatners had departed from South Carolina, the trend toward larger and larger holdings continued there. By 1830, Lewis Boatner of Newberry County owned 22 slaves. And by 1860, the proportion of slaves in the county had grown to more than two thirds of the population. (Among the fifty largest slave owners of Newberry County was Micajah Suber, oldest son of Sarah Root Suber Boatner and half brother to Lewis Boatner's children.)
Our firm knowledge of the Lewis born c1783 begins with his marriage about 1806 to the widow of a Newberry County man, Gasper Suber. Her maiden name was Sarah Root, and her descendants may be correct in their assertion that she was "a Yankee," possibly from Pennsylvania or Connecticut. She had a son, Micajah Suber, who was an affectionate mentor to his younger half-siblings. The story of this family has been documented genealogically and by reminiscences. It is only their version of the earlier generations that is undocumented and perhaps questionable.
Lewis Boatner lived in Newberry County for about 30 years after his marriage to Sarah Root Suber. His wife had at least one son by Jaspar Suber, her first husband. This son, Micajah Suber, remained in South Carolina, but he evidently had affectionate ties to the children of her second marriage."
