My Boyds intertwine, intermarry and are totally entangled with the Paynes, McWhorters and Sloan/Slone families (among others) in Meriwether and Carroll counties.

Children: William, Joseph, Mary B., John, Hugh, Jennett, James, Robert, Rosannah, David Barton, Francis, Jefferson. I have an actual copy of Robert's will taken from the will book in Greenville, Meriwether County. (I whined and begged until they allowed me to make a copy.  The book is literally falling apart.)
