I recently obtained the following information from the family Bible of CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS BOYD, (Uncle Lum") who lived in Carroll County, GA. Uncle Lum was the brother of my great-grandmother LOUISA ELIZABETH BOYD PAYNE. Both were children of ROBERT BOYD and SARAH ANN LeGUIN who lived in Meriwether County, GA, and then Carroll County, GA. This Bible is in the possession of my mother, MARIAN PAYNE McWHORTER who remembers her Uncle Lum fondly. JOSEPH JOSHUA PAYNE was born January 20, 1854. (Husband of Louisa Elizabeth Boyd. Joseph was said to have been a circuit-riding Methodist minister.) JOSEPH died Sept. 30, 1891, age 38 years, 8 months, 10 days. (My mother says cause of death was typhoid fever. He is buried in Powell's Chapel UMC cemetery, Villa Rica, Carroll Co., GA) LOUISA ELIZABETH BOYD was born February 1, 1858. (Louisa died 23 March 1950. She is also buried in Powell's Chapel. I remember "Grandma Payne" well. She lived with her daughter and son-in-law, Will White and Milie Ann Payne White, on a farm on Bankhead Highway [I think it's Hwy. 78] just outside Austell. Uncle Will had a bait shop next to the house. They also grew sugar cane.) JOSEPH JOSHUA PAYNE and his wife, L.E. PAYNE was (sic) married December the 15th [could be 13th] 1877. COIE LANZA PAYNE was born September 9th, 1878. (Son of Joseph & Louisa Boyd Payne. Uncle Coie [pronounced "Coy"] was married to Aunt Annie, last name unknown. Their children were Kathleen and Ralph) ROBERT STEPHEN PAYNE was born April 9th, 1882. (Son of Joseph and Louisa) MILIE ANN PAYNE was born May 13th, 1885. (Aunt Milie married WILL WHITE. I only know of one of their children, LOUISE WHITE who married JOE WINGO) SARAH JANE PAYNE was born April 6th, 1888. Sarah died 13 June 1952 from a stroke. (Sarah was my grandmother. She married JOHN ALLEN McWHORTER on 19 Aug. 1906 in Carroll Co.) GOOLY ROSS PAYNE was born January 7th, 1891. Gooly died June 11th, 1891, age five months and five days. Gooly is buried at Powell's Chapel. CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS BOYD was born March 29th, 1847. MELVINA BOYD was born May 29th, 1850. [Not sure of the relationship of the following. I have just begun my research on this part of the family] NANCY ANN BOYD was born September 30th, 1863. SARAH FLORENCE SLONE was born February 4th (?), 1869 LUCY LOUANA ROSANNAH SLONE was born September 11th, 1872. W.F. SLONE was born March 12th, 1874. EMER LOURENA (?) SLONE was born February 28th, 1879. CHRISTOPHER C. BOYD and his wife, SARAH G.H. BOYD was (sic) married October 18th, 1868. LAFAYETTE RANDOLPH BOYD was born November 14th, 1870 MRS. SARAH ANN BOYD died June 21st, 1889. If anyone can help me tie these strings together, I would appreciate it. Looking for BOYD, PAYNE, SLONE (Sloan?) and LeGUIN. Many thanks, Judy Kilgore, Newnan, GA JodieK444@aol.com
