>From the book The Boyds of Boyds Tank, by Frank Ewell Boyd & William Taylor Boyd. (1970), page 24, tells us that the second child of Henry Boyd and Susan Heard was William Wilson Boyd. Henry and Susan lived out their days in the Long Cane community of Troup County. “2-William Wilson Boyd (1821-1864), married Mary Rebecca Fears December 14, 1847 in Chambers County, Alabama. He died in the Civil War near Orange Court House, Virginia, April 17, 1864. They had two children -Mary Susan Rebecca, born in 1852, married (1) J. D. Trammell in 1870 and (2) J. L. Askew in 1888, and William Henry Fears, born in 1862. He married Annie C. Croft in 1884. These families lived at West Point, Georgia.” I am not sure if “West Point Georgia” is within Troup County, Georgia or outside it. While seeing that William died “in the Civil War near Orange Court House, Virginia, April 17, 1864” would suggest that he was fighting with one of the CSA units there. Unfortunately it does not say which one or where he was buried. So can any of your Virginian cousins near the Orange Court House have a look to see if there is any there is any cemetery where he might be buried please? Do any members of the list belong to William Wilson Boyd and Mary Rebecca Fears family? If so, I would like to hear from you. Thank you Mike Boyd Historical Committee House of Boyd Society
