Dear List, Years of searching and I am no farther along on LEVI J. BOYD. There is no document to connect LEVI to any family anywhere. There were other BOYDS living in Monroe County, TN but nothing states any relationship to them. LEVI BOYD had a son named LEVI JORDAN BOYD and I suspect a JORDAN was a surname of a mother or grandmother but can't find any proof. LEVI BOYD was born in TN 1802 according to the 1850 District 12 (Madisonville, Niles Ferry Rd. toward Vonore), Monroe County, TN Census Record. Listed: Levi Boyd 48 Hanah Boyd 45 (Hannah Clayton b. S. C.) John Boyd 21 Robert Boyd 18 Louisa Boyd 14 Betsy Boyd 13 (Elizabeth Avans married F.M. Avans) Levi Boyd 10 Perry Boyd 8 Lucinda Boyd 6 Nancy Boyd 3 Wiley Boyd 2 The 1850 census record shows LEVI BOYD living next to JAMES BOYD: 1850 Monroe Cty. District 12 James Boyd HH# 832 Levi Boyd HH# 834 The 1830 Census record has the following BOYDS: Monroe County, TN 1830 Census Record: Boyd Hugh 1000201 222001001 140 102 Boyd Jeremiah 312001 011101 142 115 Boyd Thomas 0100001 000201 146 139 Boyd Irby 110201 110001 146 141 Boyd Levi 12001 01001 146 142 Boyd John 020001 02001 149 156 Boyd Joseph 010101 21001 149 156 Boyd Levi 12001 01011 149 157 Boyd Margarett 101 011101 149 160 LEVI's children have used the name Thomas, frequently, in naming one of their children so there may be a THOMAS BOYD ancestor. LEVI must have parents and siblings but I can't find any documents to this fact. Has anyone found a document about this LEVI BOYD amongst their ancestors? Dianna
