Hello to all, I want to first thank and commend Tina and her partner for all of the effort that they have had in creating their Web page and their generousity in sharing it with the world at no charge. Also in being so kind and helpful when ever the opportunity presents itself. (of course this is where I'm going to get a little selfish) You are doing an outstanding job, and I for one am thankful for your efforts everytime I source your Page, open a Greene County mail, or think about Greene County for that matter. We are all SO lucky to have you. Thank you!! Now, on to my selfish request. :) Among my surname interests in Greene County is BOYD. On the 1860 Greene County census there is a family of BOYD, head of household Mary [no age or place of birth] with several children, ranging in age from 26ish to 5. Two of these boys' occupation appears to be listed as 'mail carrier'. How can I find out more information on mail carrier's in Greene County at that time period? Were any records kept? Were they paid? If so by whom? Any suggestions will be most welcome! :) The BOYD's that I'm looking at, with a keen and scrutinous eye, are: Mary BOYD b. abt 1811 TN John R. BOYD b.abt1833TN d.abt 1867-69 m.Sophia SMITH b.abt 1838 TN William P.(Pinkney) C. BOYD b.abt 1834 TN Mary BOYD b.abt 1838 TN Andrew J. BOYD b.abt 1840 [I believe Killed in Action in GA in Civil War 7/22/1864] Francis M. BOYD b.abt1842 George W. BOYD b.abt 1844 Martin W. BOYD b.1846 TN d.1885 Greene Co AR m.Martha Jane McMILLAN b.1842 SC d.1911 Green Co AR Paul Whitfield BOYD b.1848 TN d.1909 Paragould, AR m. Nancy Ann CLARK b.1846 AR d.1928 Paragould, AR David F.L. BOYD b.1855 TN d.1933 OK*********** These guys came from Macon County TN between 1855 and 1860. Their father was with them when they came, but died shortly after their arrival. John, William and Andrew all served in the Confederate Service during the Civil War. I believe that Francis did as well, and possibly George. Looking forward to any information or suggestions you may have regarding the Mail Carrier question. Thank you for your time. Robin J.
