William, After some more research.. I think that you and I were both partially right. At some point, I came to believe that Lydia, James and Joseph Elijah were siblings. Because they were all born in SC.. their birth years are close, and because of the counties in MS where they could be found. Now...I got some pretty good information that Lydia Ann Price born 1803 in SC married in 1823 to John Boyd born 1802 in SC. I have a list of their 6 children - which includes Rosalba b 1838 and Levy Boyd b 1832. I now think.. you are correct.. James, Joseph Elijah and Lydia are siblings. It seems that John Boyd passed away between around 1840. I think Lydia probably married a Luttrell after John died - and the young Luttrell girl was her step daughter that she continued to raise. The Levy Boyd living near her, was most likely her son who married Susan Manning on May 22, 1851. I have also seen much evidence that says that Lydia, James and Joseph E fathrs name was Elijah.. but on these records.. her father is listed as "M Price"
anyone searching this family, please let me know what you think!
