There are other Patrick Co. VA - NC McGee connections (Tuggles originally of Patrick Co.) in RCV. The following family was involved in both Russell and Washngton Cos. The death occurred in Wash.

(McReynolds) Boyd, white male, mar. to Martgaret Boyd, b. 10 Mar 1848, VA, 88y 8m 6d; d. 16 Nov 1928, s/o Isac Boyd & Sarah McGee, she b. VA; bur. Home Cem.
