Hello List again. I have also found while researching in Patrick Co Va a murder of a John / Joseph Boyd in October of 1831. 2 men were charged with the murder Henry Wysong and Fleming Thomas. Several Boyds and a couple 'married ins' sat on the jury. Fleming Thomas was deemed not guilty and was not charged. Wysong was charged but can find no further info as to what happened in court. Both men show up later in the records, so I will 'assume' that nothing was proven. Question is..who is this John Boyd? I have found nothing as to his age, parents etc. I did find where the judge ordered that his body be disinterred and another inquest done and they were to report back to the court in the April session...nothing is mentioned. In my June trip I found another murder involving 2 Boyds about 1860's, paperwork not at my finger tips right this second. Anyone know anything about that one? Also working on married-ins: Tuggle, Cockram, Rakes and the Brammers. There is some commotion about Mildred Brammer who was wed to Burgess Brammer as a Boyd. I do have a copy of the deed where Hugh Boyd deeded her and her heirs land out of 'mutual love and affection'. We know that Burgess left her and their children and headed to Russell Co Va where he met his demise. There are Boyds and Brammers in Franklin Co and in Bedford and I am working on those...does anyone have any info on when and where Burgess Brammer married this Mildred "Boyd"? By backtracking the Brammers I hope to find if indeed she was a Boyd and how or if she was related to the Patrick / Franklin Co Boyds Sherrie Kirby _craz12no@aol.com_ (mailto:craz12no@aol.com)
