Dear Barbara, Shuck, wish it wasn't so!! I have been told many time that you do not take the census literally like a Bible and that mistakes could be known. Barbara, I was very excited when I had found Julia A. Boyd in Greene County, Arkansas. Her father, Levi Boyd, and mother, Susannah Braden Boyd, was in 1850 Arkansas Census, then Levi Boyd died in 1860, then in 1860 Arkansas Census, it show just Susannah Boyd with her family. So somewhere Susannah Braden Boyd had married to unknown Boyle, possible his first name is John. Well, I better get off and get ready for work. Barbara, thank again for letting me know what it said on Julia, Hiram, and William Boyd's birthplaces. Have a best Christmas ever.

I will appreciated so much if you can help me. In the household is: Susaner BOYLE, age 47, born in Illinois, her daughter Julia A. BOYD, age 18, her sons, Hiram BOYD, age 14, William BOYD, age 12. I think that is all who were living with her; could be 2 others children of Susaner BOYLE. I am trying to determine where Julia A., Hiram, William BOYD is born at. Will you look and see if it say "Arkansas"? For Julia A. Boyd is my great great grandmother. Her mother, Malissa Susannah BRADEN married to Levi BOYD in March 24, 1842 in Gallatin County, Illinois. This is their children: > > Elizabeth J. Boyd, born 1843 in Illinois > > John A. Boyd, born 1849 in Illinois > > Thomas Boyd, born 1846 in Illinois > > James A. Boyd, born January 23, 1845 in Illinois; died August 30, 1862 (buried in Bethel Cemetery in Saline County) > > Julia A. Boyd, born November 10, 1851 in Greene County, Arkansas (buried in Walpole Cemetery, Hamilton County, IL.) > > Hiram Boyd, born 1856 in Arkansas > > William Boyd, born 1858 in Arkansas > > In 1860, the father, Levi BOYD, (he was born abt. 1824) had died at the age of 34 from consumption in Greene County, Arkansas. Then somewhere Malissa Susanna Braden Boyd married to unknown BOYLE, possible his name is John. Do not know where they got married at. In 1850 and 1860 Arkansas Census, Levi and Susanna Boyd was there. Sometime after 1860, Susanna Boyd had moved her family back to Saline County, Illinois for them to be in 1870 Census in Illinois. > > Susanna Braden's parents are James Braden and Unicy Smith. But the most important to me is what did it say where Julia A., Hiram, and William Boyd was born at? If they were born in Arkansas, then it is my family. Will you help me? God bless you and have a very Merry Christmas. Teresa from Oklahoma > >
