Could the name be Levi Boyd, not Eli. Levi, married Lovinia Dickerson in Floyd in 1831 and the family was in Floyd in 1840. In 1850 Carroll County Census, Lovinia  and the children are listed. John Perry Alderman stated Levi died 1847. They did have a son William, b. 1847. In 1850 there are 11 children. Nearest neighbor is J. davis Marshall who is buried in the Marshal/Brim Cemetery that I had a question about last night. There is a Boyd child buried there also.

Can someone help me identify this person, or correct what we are reading from her gravestone. This stone is in the Marshall-Brim Cemetery in Carroll County, not far from the Mapleshade Cemetery, which makes it near the Floyd County line. What we think we have transcribed; Lucinda Ellen Dickerson, born Oct. 1826(?), deceased August 1850. The age has been obliterated, except for the 10 months. So, we are not sure of the birth year. No other Dickerson is found in this cemetery. Thanks for any help! Mary Anne

The bc that I am looking for is for a Bennet Larkin Harris born 4/7/1873 in Floyd County Va. I can find his birth listed in Ancestry.com but what I am really looking for is his fathers name. Some records show his mother as Mary Harris some list her as Mary Ann F. Harris. I can't really continue with my search unless I can find out who his father was and verify who his mother was. All relatives on that side of the family have passed so I have no one to go to. I got a copy of his death cert from but it lists his father as "Mr. Harris" and his mother as "Miss Harris". Any help would be greatly appreciated. I just don't know where to go from here. On Jul 3, 2010, at 12:01 AM, vafloyd-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
