    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Holifield, Boyd Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/IEC.2ACE/1099.1 Message Board Post: Hello! I am unsure of the exact time period of your family but James Boyd of Monongalia Co. (W) Va married a Sophia Holifield (sp) in the late 1840s and they produced 4 children. Virginia, George, Mounterville and Delia (died at age 16). Sophia died about 1855-56 and James remarried to Emily Miller. James and Emily were my Gr. grand parents. Sophia is buried at Fairview cemetary on the Grafton Rd. outside of Morgantown W. Va. Stone is still readable. She died at age 31 but I have forgot the cause if I new at all. James and Emily are in same cemetary as is Delia. George and his family are at Mt. Calvary down the same road a couple miles. Can't give you more info due to my records have been misplaced. Regards, Harry Boyde
