Hi all! I just got the e-mail digest in regards to my Boyd's (have no idea why), & am reading through the e-mails now. I just wanted to go ahead & write to thank those who responded for I feel terribly rude since this e-mail did not get into my box until today & I hate feeling rude! Will write more soon, and again-thanks :)!

My G4Grandparents are Milton & Jane DOUGLAS Boyd through John Matthew & Mary Elizabeth BOYD McCrary to Dr. William Rufus & Frances Helena 'Lena' PINKSTON McCrary & finally Luther Hill Sr. & Helen MCCRARY Sr. 'Monie' Randall (my great-grandparents). Milton was born 07 April 1804 in Chester District, SC died 30 September 1875 Meriwether County, Georgia married Jane about 1832 (probably in SC), born 20 March 1804 Chester District, South Carolina died 10 March 1878 Meriwether County, Georgia. They are both buried in City Cemetery which is located in Griffin, Spalding County, Georgia. CHILDREN: Margaret Catherine Boyd married William R. Edge Keziah Boyd married William W. Sasser Mary Elizabeth Boyd married Dr. John Matthew McCrary John William Boyd married Eliza B. Williams (Col.) Joseph David Boyd married Emily Alford My problem is carrying the family back from Milton & Jane to their roots in South Carolina. There is a William Boyd who married a Keziah PORTER whom I wonder about since Milton & Jane named a daughter Keziah, but only two children (Nancy & Hugh M.) are mentioned in his then Keziah's Revolutionary Pension Application. As well, Keziah & William Sasser named a son Hugh Boyd Sasser, & uncle John had the middle name of William. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on how to carry Milton & Jane's roots back to South Carolina. Oh, I subscribe to the Digest, so forgive me if I do not respond promptly.
