Hello, I am looking for information on John Boyd who enlisted in the 1st SC Cavalry, Co H and was honorably discharged on April 26, 1865. He served in Mo. and the information listed on his military records which are in Mo. is the name and address of his daughter, Mary Boyd Valentine, 4256 Maryland, St Louis, Mo, and her son William Boyd Valentine. I have a relative named John Boyd who went with his brother Vance Marion Boyd to Kansas and then to Missouri in the late 1850's. It is said John married in St Joseph, Mo. And that they both died in the Civil War. So I am not sure the above John Boyd is my John who was born in Clarendon Co, SC. He was the son of William V. Boyd and Maria Agnes Ervin b 2/25/1816 Clarendon Co, SC d 8/1857 Kingstree, SC. He was the grandson of Robert William Ervin, MD, b 1786 d 9/5/1849, Lancaster, SC and Louisa Agnes Martha Stukes b 5/19/1797 Clarendon Co.,SC, d 9/5/1885 Walhalla, SC. Any help determining if the John Boyd who joined the Confederacy in Rock Hill is the John Boyd I am looking for will be greatly appreciated. If anyone can claim this John Boyd when one of the others on record in Mo. is mine. Thank you. Terry Griffin Britt (female)
