     I found this will with Cherokee County Wills at the Georgia State
     Archives, but the top of the page says Cobb County:

     *Notes: I believe Narcissa's surname may be Fowler but I have not
     had a chance to look into it yet. Also, John P. Boring is buried at
     Little River Methodist Church in Cherokee Co. I have a picture of
     his rather large tombstone. It stands at least 6 feet tall and has
     a mason emblem on it. The dates say Born Sept. 11, 1825, Died Apr.
     3, 1907, Age 82 yrs. I'm trying to tie him in with my line of
     Borings through Issac BORING, Jr.
