    3. Searching for ANDREWS, BOYD, and EUSTACE in Grayson County 1875 - present The William H. BOYD family arrived in Grayson Co. in 1875 and camped close by the Edwin Jones & Burnetta (FOWLER) ANDREWS property. The Andrews boys came out to see if they could be of any assistance, and two of them -- Eugene Rollin ANDREWS and Samuel Varney ANDREWS -- married BOYD sisters, Mary Jane/Jennie and Caroline Edna, respectively. Eugene died in 1931 and is buried in West Hill Cemetery in Sherman, while his wife Mary Jane died in 1936 and is buried in Cedarlawn Memorial Park in Sherman. Sam and Carrie Edna moved on some time later, although at least two of their children Williaim Robert ANDREWS, and James Ray ANDREWS, were born in Sherman, and one, Edna Earle, died in Sherman at the age of 19. William BOYD's father-in-law, John EUSTACE, Jr., lived with his son-in-law and daughter Isabelle Frances (EUSTACE) BOYD for some time in Grayson Co. Thoburn's _ A Standard History of Oklahoma, Vol. IV,_ p. 1678, states about: John Eustace, Jr.: "When he retired he went to Van Alstyne, Texas, where he made his home with his daughter and son-in-law until his death in 1878, at the age of eighty-two years." If any of these names occur in the 1910 Grayson County Plat Book, I would appreciate so much knowing about it. We know that there are living descendants of this Andrews family still in Sherman, and it would be a wonderful way to start the New Year if we could get in touch with these distant cousins of my husband's. He is descended from the younger brother of the Andrews girls, James Ashby Boyd. We would be happy to exchange any of the information that we have with anyone who can supply additional data.
