Hi Bruce,
I'm still struggling, but have found a few new things about my Boyd ancestors.I recently have been communicating with John Boyd of OK.His grandfather was the William P. [Pleasant] Boyd listed in the 1880 Eastland Co., TX census, son of William L. Boyd.The James Robert Boyd (my great-grandfather), living next door, was William's brother.These folks are all listed as born in MS.
Supposedly, they had another brother named John Boyd, and possibly another one named Samuel.
My grandmother, Annie Boyd Hanson, was a 1st cousin of William Pleasant Boyd. She was the daughter of James Robert Boyd and Mary Ann Johnston Boyd. It's not clear if William L. Boyd moved to OK, but William Pleasant Boyd did and his descendents live there still.
I have some microfilms on order from Salt Lake City on the Boyds and will let you know if I can find anything more on them. Meanwhile, do any of the above Boyds sound familiar?
