I am searching for any information on my gg grandfather, Marcus BOYD, born in Tennessee ca 1822. He married Sarah Jane BALLENTINE in Montgomery Co., TN on 9 Feb. 1850. Children; John C. b. Nov./Dec. 1850 TN Daughter b. 15 Aug. 1853 Trigg Co., KY (died at birth) Margaret E. b. 16 Aug. 1854 Trigg Co., KY William L. b. 9 Apr. 1855 McCracken Co., KY Charles b. 21 May 1857 McCracken Co., KY Luther b. 1 Sept. 1861 McCracken Co., KY Sarah probably died shortly after Luther was born. I do not know where or when Marcus died. I have only their marriage record, the birth records of the children and the 1860 census of McCracken Co. My great grandfather, John C., married Nancy HALL 22 Jan. 1877 in Montgomery Co., TN. John and Nancy and two of their children, Edward Lee and Andrew Thomas, are listed on the 1880 census of Cheatham Co., TN. They returned to the Lovelaceville area of Ballard/McCracken Co. ca 1882 and john died there the winter of 1887-88. I have found three other Marcus BOYDs; one married Eliza HAMILTON in Williamson Co., TN in 1825 and later moved to MO, another married Mary Jane TURNER in Bledsoe Co., TN and the last one married a Margaret BOYD in Trigg Co., KY in 1857. They do not appear to be directly connected to my gg grandfather. Any information would be most appreciated. mailto:[email protected]
