I have found many, many Boyds who migrated from South Carolina into western Georgia (Troup, Meriwether, Carroll, Fayette, Campbell counties) in the early 1800s, then slipped across the line into Alabama (Chambers, Randolph. Cleburne counties) in the mid to late 1800s. Most were related, some were not. Still sorting them out, but have made some good headway.
