I recently saw the page posted
on your Clan Boyd website, under
"Missouri Boyds", entitled
"Boyd burials, Halleck Cemetery, Halleck,
Buchanan Co., MO.".
This is precisely the Boyd family that I am re-
searching. In fact,
seeing this posted on your website is what
prompted me to join the Clan
Boyd Rootsweb Discussion List last week.
I am preparing to send in
a submission to the group, hopefully later
today, but decided to send
one first directly to you in case this submission
came from one of your members
who do not use e-mail. If so, perhaps
you could direct me to them
or direct them to me.
You may want to post the following
information on that page to clarify the
relationships of those buried
in Halleck Cemetery for others to use in their
research. I am a decendant
of this Bolden Boyd and his first wife Dora
Lena Boyd - my great-grandparents
on my mother's side. The following came
from our Boyd Family Bible
and the research of others in my Boyd family.
J. Seneca Boyd (full name John
Seneca) was married to Mary Ella Boyd (maiden
name was James). Bolden
Boyd (full name John Bolden) was their first son and
W.C. Boyd (full name William
Columbis, nicknamed Lum) was their second son.
They may have had at least
two daughters: Eliza (Boyd) Pickeral and Bertha Neva
(Boyd) Cawley - still
researching that.
Bolden married twice.
Dora L. Boyd ( full name Dora Lena, maiden name Foster)
was his first wife and they
had two children: John Otis and Ernest Everett
(my grandfather). Barbara
Louise Boyd (maiden name Schoenhafer) was Bolden's
second wife, and they had
one child: Dora Mae (Boyd) Miller. The child named
Dorothy Boyd who is buried
there was Bolden's granddaughter, the second child
of Ernest Everett Boyd.
W. C. (Lum) Boyd was married
to Lucy Boyd (maiden name unknown). To our know-
ledge they had only one son
named Willie who never married.
The only name I cannot place
is Mamie V. Boyd. I am sending snail-mail to my Aunt
in Saint Joseph to see if
she can help me with this person.
I have no information at all
about the ancestry of J. Seneca or Mary Ella Boyd.
Any information or contacts
anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
