Dear Lean,

http://www.archivesindex.sc.gov/search/default.asp<http://www.archivesindex.sc.gov/search/default.asp>;

There are 1,676 records on the Boyd Family at the above web site starting in SC in 1696.

You might find some connections there.

God Bless.

Subject: [SC] Boyd


Hello, my name is Lena & though I have several roots that lead back to South Carolina there is one family that has been such a brick-wall that putting a chink in the wall seems impossible.
My G4Grandparents are Milton & Jane DOUGLAS Boyd through John Matthew & Mary Elizabeth BOYD McCrary to Dr. William Rufus & Frances Helena 'Lena' PINKSTON McCrary & finally Luther Hill Sr. & Helen MCCRARY Sr. 'Monie' Randall (my great-grandparents).

Milton was born 07 April 1804 in Chester District, SC died 30 September 1875 Meriwether County, Georgia married Jane about 1832 (probably in SC), born 20 March 1804 Chester District, South Carolina died 10 March 1878 Meriwether County, Georgia. They are both buried in City Cemetery which is located in Griffin, Spalding County, Georgia.
CHILDREN:
Margaret Catherine Boyd married William R. Edge
Keziah Boyd married William W. Sasser
Mary Elizabeth Boyd married Dr. John Matthew McCrary
John William Boyd married Eliza B. Williams
(Col.) Joseph David Boyd married Emily Alford

My problem is carrying the family back from Milton & Jane to their roots in South Carolina.
There is a William Boyd who married a Keziah PORTER whom I wonder about since Milton & Jane named a daughter Keziah, but only two children (Nancy & Hugh M.) are mentioned in his then Keziah's Revolutionary Pension Application. As well, Keziah & William Sasser named a son Hugh Boyd Sasser, & uncle John had the middle name of William.

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on how to carry Milton & Jane's roots back to South Carolina. Oh, I subscribe to the Digest, so forgive me if I do not respond promptly.

Sincerely,
Lena
