Sloan -- The information that I have from guru Joan Howell would indicate that we are talking about two George Boyetts. George Boytt b 1808 married Kesiah (various spellings -- Cuzzy, Causia, etc.) LANGLEY, b ca 1812. Among their brood of eleven (including a George b ca 1848) was my ggf Joseph, b ca 1833, w Larkey BRYANT b ca 1829. The fifth of Joseph and Larkey's nine was George Washington, b ca 1866. I'd love to know more about this bunch. Keep rootin'!
