Hi Dennis,
I have been leaning towards a connection with a John D. Boyd in Leake Co., MS, but have nothing conclusive.
In the 1860 census for Leake, Carthage Post Office, there is a John D. Boyd, age 60 b. in GA, with Percilla (?) age 67 b. SC.Next door to them is a William Boyd, age 22, b. in MS, with wife Amanda age 19, b. in GA.The proximity of the families would suggest a relationship between John D. Boyd and William and Amanda.
This William and Amanda are of the right ages to be related to my James Robert Boyd, i.e., William L. [or P.] Boyd was his older brother.I can't put my hand on it right now, but I also found James R., with wife Mary Ann Johnston and their son William "Billy" Boyd in the 1860 census in Leake Co.
By 1870, neither William L. nor James Robert are in Leake Co., but show up in TX around that time.
Problem is that there are so many John/William/James Boyds around at the same time, it's really hard to pin down any of these relationships.Could they be different generations of the same family?Let me know what you think.Thanks!
Harriet
