I am looking for a Boyd family that came from SC, to Georgia, to Alabama. Robert and Mary Boyd. Mary born in about 1827. Her parents born in SC according to census records. Robert Boyd does not appear on any census records after 1880. Mary buried in Talahousa county Alabama. Two sons born Robert Boyd 1858 and Ross Boyd 1860 in Georgia. Moved to Talahousa county Alabama until 1900's (about). Ross moved on to TX, Robert and Mom stayed in Alabama. If you have any info on this family, I would much appreciate it.
