He married his 1st wife in 1857, Hannah Drake 1836-1892 born in Warren Co., TN. they had 7 children as follows (I don't have info on all 7) : John W. 1858, Willas 1861, Randolph (my great grandpa) 1863, Wilborn R. 1869, *NOTE HERE* says the Drake family lives with them according to ancestry.com and lists the Drake children as: Margrett A. Boid 1857 and James M. Boid 1860. ***if these are Drake children, I don't understand why their last name is Boid and it refers to 7 other children but I only have info on 4 of them. Also, Allison later married (2nd wife) Margaret E. (don't know previous last name for her) in 1892 and had 2 children. this is all of the information I have. thanks everyone for all of your help. when I have this more together, I will submit it. thank you.
