Where did Levi Boyd's family come from? Why isn't Levi Boyd's family listed in the 1860 Federal Census Record when they are found in the 1840, 1850 census records and the sons, Perry and Levi J., were in (Lillard's) Tennessee Mounted Infantry Regiment? Levi Boyd was living in Monroe County as can be seen from a court case: No.766)(75) Filed 26 Sep 1862 F.M. Avens vs Levi Boyd. While Avans was in Va. in Confederate service Boyd persuaded Avan's wife (his daughter) to remove to his home where she stayed 2 mos. and at that time Boyd sold Avan's wagon. Any suggestions are welcomed. Dianna
