My gggrandfather Henry F. BOIT appears on muster rolls for the FL Seminole Indian Wars in 1836 and 1837. He is on p. 180 in the 1840 census for Washington Co. as being between 30-40, with 2 m. < 5 and 1 f. 15-20. In 1842 he signed a petition in Washington Co. which I have seen so I know he could write and I assume read. In the 1849 minutes of the West FL Baptist Assc. he is listed as a licensed but not yet ordained minister and is a delegate from New Hope Alabama Baptist Church with a mailing address of Millwood, FL which was just inside Jackson Co. very near the GA/AL/FL borders. During the 1850s he has a charge account at Neel's General Store at Neel's Landing, FL---same area. His son, Joseph H. Boit, buys land in that Northeast Corner of FL in 1857 and both Henry and Joseph buy land in Henry Co. AL in 1860, in the most southeast corner of AL. In the 1860 census Joseph H. and family are living in Henry Co. With him are an Eliza Boit age 18 b. FL and a Henry H. Boit age 10 b. AL. In 1864 Joseph's widow charges on Henry's account at Neel's Genral Store. I have not found Henry on any census other than the Washington Co. 1840 census. Does anyone have any brilliant ideas where I should look? And yes, I have searched under Boyt (It's spelled it that way sometimes), Boiet, Boytt, Boyett, Boyette, and Boyd. I would like to know his wife's name, where he was born, when he died, etc. Thanks. Julia
