Additional Comments:
John B. Boyd, b. abt 1805 in S.C., was the son of John and Eleanor Boyd,
probably from Abbeville Dist., S.C., as he is named in court documents there in
1836 as being the son of John and УElenorФ Boyd, and in later documents as the
brother of Adam Boyd, deceased by 1845. John B. Boyd administered the estate of
his father in Meriwether County, Georgia, beginning in January of 1837 and
ending in September of 1840. The final distribution included Elenor Boyd,
Ebenezer Boyd, Jean (Jane) Boyd, Hannah Boyd, Hugh Boyd (guardian of Adam Boyd),
William Campbell (guardian of Robert Boyd), Alexander Boyd, William Boyd, and
John B. Boyd. Each distributee received about $32. Administration of the estate
of John Boyd also is recorded in Abbeville District, giving William Campbell as
the administrator and listing the same legatees, on page 19 of the book, У
Abstracts of Old Ninety-Six and Abbeville District Wills and BondsФ by Willie
Pauline Young of Liberty, South Carolina, й 1950 by Pauline Young and the Rev.
Silas Emmett Lucas, Jr. The same book on page 40 gives the guardianship of Adam
Boyd by Hugh Boyd, and of Robert Boyd by William Campbell. Adam Boyd is
mentioned as a deceased minor. Settlement of AdamТs estate was made in 1845 in
Abbeville.

John B. BoydТs first wife, name unknown, apparently died before 1838. Also,
records above show his children receiving funds from the estate of Edmund
Beasley of Abbeville. One of JohnТs older sons was named Edmund (as named in
original guardianship papers.)

John B. Boyd most likely married (second) Edna Williams in Meriwether County on
10 April 1838 (Marriage Book A, page 37). He appears in the 1840 census on page
137 (same page as Alexander Boyd), and in the 1850 census with Edna and children
Nancy E., Martha Jane, Mary E., Joseph, Lolly A., Lisa P., Sarah C., Midy,
Lucretia C. and John R. Boyd.

John and Edna moved to Carroll County, GA, where John died about 1855. His
estate was administered in Carroll County and mentioned his wife, Edna, and
eight minor children (not named). Edna (Adney) is shown there with the children
in the 1860 census.

All the above information was copied from original books in the Probate Office,
Greenville, Meriwether County, Georgia.
