Hi Pat, haven't heard from you in awhile. I just read your email on the Wilson Family and noticed that you tied them into some other families in the area. One of them was Durham. As you know, I am researching the Beard families and one of my brick walls is finding out about Samuel J. Boyd, son of Ellen (Cox) Beard. He married Amy Durham in 1900 in Limestone County, Tx. Would you have any information on her line that may lead me to her or Sam. Samuel J. Boyd was a Baptist Minister and he and Amy had a son named Joe in 1904 who also became a Baptist Minister. My mother thinks they moved to the Dallas area but visited Thornton all the time. In fact Sam married my grandmother, Annie Lee Beard, to Thomas Albert St.Clair on 23 Aug. 1908. Any help would be appreciated.

Shirley Hi!! I have not forgotten you & your Beard research just have been off into this Wilson thing for the last month heavy. I have also been working on the Durham family during all this as they seem to be in the same area & intermarried with some of the Wilson family. When I can lay this Wilson thing to rest for a while I will see what I can do for you. Pat Oates in TX. At 12:49 PM 7/11/2001 -0500, you wrote: >Hi Pat, haven't heard from you in awhile.
