Additional Comments:
Additional Notes: John Boyd Senior, above (known as Wagonner Jack), was the son
of John Boyd (known as John Buckles of Newberry Dist., S.C.), the grandson of
John Boyd, known as John Boyd of Ballymena (County Antrim, Ireland)  and the
father of Sarah (Boyd) Bell, to whom this deed was transferred. John arrived in
Meriwether County, Georgia, from Newberry County, S.C., sometime before 1830
with his teenage son, James (witness to the above deed), and appears in the 1830
and 1840 Meriwether censuses. Some of John's other children also moved to
Meriwether: Margaret Boyd who married Wilson Spence, the above Sarah Boyd who
married Thomas Bell, and probably his young daughter Nancy Boyd, thought to be
the Nancy Boyd who married Benjamin Tidwell in 1834. Benjamin was the brother of
Milly Tidwell who married Nancy's brother, James Boyd. Another daughter, Janetta
(Jane) moved to Georgia also but settled in Gwinnett County with her husband,
Ira Corbin. If the above Alabama residence is correct, John Boyd Senior moved to
Coosa County, Alabama, sometime after 1840.

Since this John Boyd had no son named John, the designation of "Senior" was
likely used to distinguish him from another John Boyd in Meriwether County at
that time.

The land mentioned in the deed above (about 100 acres in Land Lot 265) is in the
Upper Ninth District in northeastern Meriwether County, directly east of Mt.
Sinai church, and is on the Flint River which separates Meriwether from Pike
County. John sold the other half to his only son, James (who married Milly
Tidwell).
