Notes for EDWARD BOMAR:
"Edward Bomar, already mentioned, was born in Virginia 1769 and emigrated from that State to Spartanburg district in 1796, with his wife, nee Mary Wood, and three children, Catharine, Patience and John. He settled, as we have already stated, on North Tyger River, near the town of Fair Forest. Here, in his quiet and hospitable home, near his beloved church, Mount Zion, he spent a long and useful life, and his remains lie buried in the family graveyard on his estate. His life was uneventful; he bore no part in County politics, held no office so far as can be learned, but ... he is affectionately remembered not only by his descendants, but by others who knew him and still live, and his memory is held in high esteem because of his pure character, exemplary piety and good works. The following are the names and dates of the birth of his children: Catherine, born October 31st, 1791; Patience, October 17th, 1793; John, February 15th, 1795; Elizabeth, April 6th , 1799; William , August 5th, 1801; Mary, July 16th, 1804; George W., May 7th, 1807, and Booker, April 26th, 1810. His descendants number about one thousand, nine-tenths of whom are Baptists."
