[WILLIAM INGHRAM BOREMAN
AT the opening of the convention, which met at Wheeling, in June, 1861, to restore to vitality within the Union, the State of Virginia, came from Tyler county, this brother of the first Governor of the resultant new State. He was born on the 28th of June, 1816, in Waynesburg, Greene County, Pennsylvania, where his father moved in the spring of 1827, to Middlebourne, on the Ohio. He studied law at Parkersburg, Wood county, in the office of his brother-in-law, James M. Stephenson, one of the best land lawyers of Western Virginia. He received his license, 24th April, 1839, and began practice at Middlebourne, where he still resides in an honorable age. In the spring of 1861, from the counties of Tyler and Doddridge, he was elected to the General Assembly at Richmond, but his decided Union sentiments prevented his acting in that body. By virtue of that election, however, he appeared and served in the Wheeling convention to restore the State to connection with the United States. He was a member of the West Virginia House of Delegates in 1867, and of the State Senate from 1868 to 1871. No man of his section has been more influential or a safer counsellor than he.]
