There are numerous William Boyer's with daughters Elizabeth in the same area and on census records. There is a will for a William Boyer who talks about his daughter Elizabeth being alive in 1820. Apparently there is also a son Daniel B. Boyer... MORE research will have to be done to make sure that the Elizabeth daughter of William Boyer and the Elizabeth that married Daniel Delph brother to
Suzanna Delph-Boyer are one and the same.
IF they are then we need to figure out the YEAR of her death
the will talks about 1820 and that she is still alive
but if she is still alive how is it that Daniel Delph remarried the Margaret Couch... Wrong Daniel Delph/???

However, this is the one that several researches believe to be the one that married Daniel (or David) Delph. And had a daughter Sarah "Sallie" Delph-Rimer. Elizabeth probably died in childbirth because Daniel Delph remarried in June 1813 just 7 months after Sarah was born.
But I guess he could have divorced her and married Margaret Couch???

A NEW reason that I believe Elizabeth Boyer is Sarah's mother is, Elizabeth's brother Daniel married the sister of her husband Daniel Delph.. here is a "copy" of

The marriage of Daniel to Elizabeth is known to be 29 March 1812, she was 32 yrs. old. If she got pregnant immediately, 8-9 months later, would be November or December, she gave birth to Sarah and died in child birth 1812 leaving Daniel with now 8 children to raise by himself. She was 32, kind of old to have a first birth.
---If he was indeed married previously, to Mrs. Daniel Delph that bore him 7 kids???
