Still searching for information on Charles T. Boyd and family. Charles T. Boyd, born about 1858, married Sarah Spidel Lawhorn 29 October 1891 in Shelby County, Illinois. The information on the marriage record lists grooms parents as Charles T. Boyd and Lucy Ecels (as transcribed by the clerk at courthouse. I as not allowed to view the actual log book). Brides parent was listed as Husan Wright (another transcription - census records show the name as Hiram Wright). They were both residents of Herrick Township, Shelby County Illinois. Witnesses were Drake Spidells and Susan Spidells (as transcribed). I have found a Charles T. Boyd, born in Georgia, married to a Hannah Montague on an Ancestry Tree. The Ancestry Tree also lists children of Hannah and Charles T. Boyd as Charles T. and Lucy B. Hopefully some of this information will connect with another Boyd somewhere. Help would be appreciated.

Susan >From a Boyd family that came from Coleraine, County Londonderry, Ireland to Australia - I thnk in the 1820's as a convict - we have this Boyd/Eccles connection S1 Alexander Boyd, b 1782 [1], d 4/8/1853 [1], m 18xx, Margaret Eccles, dau of Samuel & Jane (nee Nendenhui?) Eccles, bc 1788 [1], d /3/1834, bu Devonshire Street or Town Hall Cemetery, and had issue:- [Lived : Sydney, NSW ] So you will have to make a list of the various spelings for "Ecels" to see if you can make any connection with those names. Even in the late 1800's a MIGRATION from Georgia to Illinois seems strange to me. But with Boyd families you can't tell where they migrated to (and from). With Charles T Boyd who married Sarah Spidel Lawhorn - do you have his death certificate? And what information does that provide? The various Census records for Selby Co., ILL may tell you where he was born - perhaps State - and where his parents were born to help you confirm or disprove the link to the Ancestry Tree that you have found. List members are there any other areas that Susan might neeed to look at?
