    1. Re: [Boyd] BOYD, William - Fort Payne, AL> 1897-1977
    2. Deborah, I found the following in the 1900 census, DeKalb Co., AL (Ancestry.com's census images). Looks like this may be your Boyd: DeKalb Co., AL, Ft. Payne Dist., Ft. Payne City, 1 June 1900, HH# 8/8 Boyd, Robt. ? (looks like an A?), head, wm, Oct. 1824, 75, married 15 years, farmer, SC, VA, SC Boyd, Louisa H., wife, wf, Apr 1867, 33, married 15 years, GA, GA, GA Boyd, Margaret, dau, wf, Aug 1886 (?), 13, AL, SC, GA Boyd, Roxie P., dau, wf, Sept 1890, 9, AL, SC, GA Boyd, Robt. H.H.C. or J.H.C. (hard to read), son, wm, Jan 1896, 6, AL, SC, GA Boyd, Bill green, son, wm, Jan 1897, 3, AL, SC, GA This is the way it was indexed by Ancestry but the image shows the middle name to be Green: Name: Bill guon Boyd Home in 1900: Fort Payne, De Kalb, Alabama Age: 3 Estimated birth year: 1897 Birthplace: Alabama Race: White Relationship to head-of-house: Son Image source: Year: 1900; Census Place: Fort Payne, De Kalb, Alabama; Roll: T623 14; Page: 1A; Enumeration District: 68. This more than likely is Robert's second family. Note the age difference between him and his wife. Also, they had been married only 15 years which means he married her when he was 60 and she was 18. Of course, he may have been a "late bloomer." :-) There is a Campbell family (head of house born in VA) two doors down with a daughter also named Roxie. Some of my Boyds married Campbells but don't know if this means anything or not. This is not my Boyd family but I am interested in all Boyds who came from SC to Georgia and Alabama. Mine came from SC too (Newberry), but my direct line stayed in Georgia. Some relatives went to Alabama and to points west. If I find anything else will let you know. Hope this helps.
