STEWART- BOYD Family Connection
I am a descendent of Joseph Stewart, born abt 1740 unknownand his wife Mary (mnu) through their daughter Rosannah Stewart, born about 1771 in Tennessee.Rosannah Stewart married Robert Boyd about 1788 in South Carolina.
Robert Boyd and Rosannah Stewart had a son David Barton Boyd, born about 1810 in Newberry County, SC. David Barton Boyd, married Elizabeth Turrentine the daughter of James Turrentine and Catherine Clower, they are the Turrentine's from Orange County North Carolina
This family later came on down into Merewether County, Georgia.
David and Elizabeth Boyd's daughter Sarah Parston Boyd, born about 1842, who married Isaac Thomas Skillman has always been said by several family members to be Cherokee Indian.We have been unable to find any info on this, but have been told it came in on the STEWART line.In searching old Cherokee records there are several Stewarts listed.Anyone with any info or ideas on this Cherokee connection,your help will be greatly appreciated.
My niece and I have a fair amount of info on the Boyd's and Turrentine's but know very little on our Stewart Family ancestors.
Anyone who knows anything on Joseph Stewart and his wife Mary we would really appreciate your help. Thanks Danny J. Skillman,my email is:[email protected]
