1. All of the information on
this page began with personal notes of
Minnie C. Boyd b. 1880 and
has been confirmed largely through the US
Census, land records, wills,
and marriage records. Corrections and
commentary are welcome.
We are desparately seeking any and all
information on the origins
of John Boyd. He was probably from Guilford
Co NC and probably a nephew
to John Boyd, early settler of Nashville.
2. Lavinia Cootes was the daughter
of John Cootes and Mary McCuiston.
John and Mary were married
July 18, 1769 in Rowan County NC. Mary, b
Sept 17 1749 PA, was the youngest
daughter of Robert McCuiston and Ann
Denny. This line leads back
to John McCuiston and Isabella Crelon of
Northern Ireland. At least
3 of their sons (Thomas, Robert and James and
probably one daughter Margaret
migrated to American in 1735). John
Cootes was probably the brother
of James Cootes, both of whom were
relatively early settlers
of Nashville TN. They may have also been
related to Austin M and Lavinia
Cootes of TN.
3. Charity Couch was probably
a child of Gabriel Couch and Sarah Hughes.
Census records and land records
prove that Gabriel Couch and Wellington
Boyd lived near each other
in Panola County MS. Along with their
children, spouses and other
family members, they eventually joined up
with WW Kirkland, and continued
on as a group through Arkansas and into
TX. The family story is that
Charity died during the migration to TX and
was buried near Memphis on
the bank of the Mississippi River. I have
never found a reference to
Charity as one of Gabriel's many children,
however I suggest the following
line-up:

4. Sarah Emeline Kirkland and
her older sister Rose Clementine (wife of
John Wellington Boyd) were
daughters of Dr. William Wilson Kirkland and
Polly Ann Kellum married Sept
13, 1837 in MS. As mentioned in note 3,
Kirkland joined up with Boyd
and Couch during their migration out of MS,
through AR and into the Waco
TX area. WW Kirkland was the son of
Archibald Kirkland and Mary
Chaney; Polly Ann Kellum was the daughter of
Edward Kellum and Karenhappuck
Tabor.
5. Julia Isabel Neavitt was
the daughter of Thomas Jefferson Neavitt JR
and Maribett Powell married
Aug 14, 1888 in Hamilton Co TX. Neavitt's
father had been a pharmacist
in Queen Anne Co MD for a number of years
when he moved to TX and married
Julia Fitzgerald, the young daugher of
William Fitzgerald and Rebecca
Patton. Maribett Powell was the oldest
daughter of Christopher Columbus
Powell and Isabella Sapp of Blount Co, AL.
6. This particular family line
was obtained via the LDS FamilySearch
site. Other than Harrison
Boyd's birthdate, the information has not been
independently verified.
