Beverly Boyd married Martha "Patsy" Boyd 26 Sept. 1829 in Christian Co. Ky. They were both Boyds. Martha was born in 1813 & died in 1853. She came from Wilson Co. Tn. to Christian Co. Ky. with her father John Boyd. John was a brother to Abner Boyd & their father was Francis Boyd. Francis Boyd's father was Patrick,Jr. from Halifax Va. Francis Boyd 1st appeared on the Christian Co. tax list in 1813 which is the year his grand daughter (Martha) was born. It is not known when Beverly was born or died but we think he was born in 1804 & died abt. 1835. Beverly 1st appeared in the Christian Co. tax list in 1830 & did not appear again because he was exempt for being cripple(Christian Co. Ky. Order Book G dated 3 Oct. 1831).
