Additional Comments:
William Boyd was the son of Robert Boyd and Rosannah Stewart, of 
Newberry Dist., S.C. and Meriwether County, GA,  and was married to 
Rosanna Boyd, daughter of Hugh and Jennet Boyd of Newberry Dist., S.C. 
William Boyd died intestate in Carroll County, Georgia, about 1857 and 
this deed was not recorded until after his death. His son, Hugh H. Boyd, 
administered his estate, with his son-in-law, Lewis Dudley Gross 
(husband of William's daughter, Melinda Boyd), as security. 

Land Lot 284 is a fractional lot on the Flint River (east), adjacent to Land 
Lots 283 (south), 278 (west) and 285 (north). The upper northeast corner 
of this lot touches Line Creek where it flows into the Flint River. All these 
Land Lots are in the Upper Ninth District of Meriwether in the extreme 
northeastern corner of the county. Although a 1910 map of Meriwether 
shows the public right-of-way (road) left by William leading to the river and 
Sullivan's Mill (store), the road is no longer there.
