Willard Anderson, Thanks for inquiring! I descend through William Boyd Jr. [sister of your Sarah] who married Martha Hopwood. They had four sons and one daughter in Randolph County, North Carolina and they all moved to Orange County, Indiana. William Boyd Jr.'s death was about 1827 in Randolph County. Yes, he died before his father. William Jr.'s children and wife arrived one by one in Indiana over a period of years--1839-1860. There are lots of descendants from this Boyd family. I descend through the daughter, Dicy (Boyd) White. She married Absalom White in 1840 in Randolph County, NC. Rhoda (Davenport) Boyd died in Orange County too. Her death date was 30 Nov 1846. She is buried in Old Methodist [Kearby] Cemetery, Stampers Creek Township. I saw her grave in the late 1960s. One has to walk back to it as no road goes by it. The grave stones may be gone by now. Big trees were growing up in it. She was born 20 Nov 1753 so lived to be age 93. Her daughter Jane/Jean (Boyd) Robbins [sister of your Sarah] is buried in the same cemetery. Her husband was Daniel Robbins. They left North Carolina about 1815 so were the first Boyd family to arrive in Orange County. I have done a certain amount of research on William Boyd's family. His father was John Boyd. There is a will for him in Halifax County, Virginia in 1800. He had a wife named Jane Boyd and several children including our William. I cannot get back before John Boyd. There were other Boyds who lived there, who were more conspicuous, and they even knew James Davenport. Unfortunately, although I have tried to find a connection to them, I cannot find one and they are pretty well documented. Do you know where your Sarah (Boyd) Davenport Barnes died? Somewhere in Indiana? Jane Kyhl Beekman, Muncie, IN
