Thank you very much Rhonda. >From a very quick look at the website entry, this looks like a very good gold mine of information. So if there anyone on this list living in or near Troup Co., GA or in eastern Alabama who could go to the Troup County Archives? I will make this part of George's family intoa separate family Chapter in Volume 30 for Boyd families in Georgia, of "Clan Boyd of Scotland".
