Harriet, I just looked over your 06/04/02 to Marsha Stratton. Your James Robert Boyd was born April 2, 1831 in Mississippi. My James Robert Boyd was born 28 Aug 1861 in the Hesterville Community in Attala County. These two are for sure different James Robert Boyds.
However, there are many interesting similarities between your Boyds and mine. My James Robert Boyd's father was James Madison Boyd who was born (we think)in Leake County. I notice your James Robert Boyd was from Leake County.
As so many did in those days, my James Robert Boyd also migrated to Texas; Grandbury in Hood County. He had Uncles in my Boyd line who also migrated to Texas; notably Captain John Gordon Davis Boyd who settled in Texas around El Paso and later became part owner of a ranch "Carretas" in Chihuahua, Mexico. He and his wife spent much of their time there along with one or more of their children and grandchildren, maintaining a home in El Paso, Texas for the winter months. Finally, the wars of Villa in northern Mexico forced the Boyds to move most of their cattle into New Mexico. He died in El Paso.
Let me suggest that we try going back one generation instead of forward. My James Robert Boyd's father, James Madison Boyd's, father's name was Mississippi Senator John D. Boyd (b. 28 Mar 1800, KY; d.30 Jan 1844, Jackson, MS) whose wife was Anna McKee. Do you happen to show this John D. Boyd among your Boyds?
I show that John D. Boyd had a son by the name of Robert Ross Boyd (b. 9 May 1842, Leake County, MS).
We certainly seem to have Leake County in common, but I having looked over your 06/04, I can't seem to find a named Boyd in common. That is why I suggest we move back a generation or two.
I look forward to hearing from you, Harriet
