Re: Boydstun family line

momajo54 — 2009-01-05 01:14:36Z

Are you looking for Billy Boydstun or William C Boydstun that lived at one time in Lexington, Slaughterville, Willow View area? The farm was actually at Willow View and there is the Boydstun cemetery on that land.
I am descended from son John and Lecter Hazeltine Smith. Can help you a little and possibly put you in touch with somemore Cousins, if so. It would depend on what line you are interested in. please write me at momajo54@hotmail.com, if this is part of your line.

Re: Possible match to Sarah Boydston

2005-09-16 04:09:52Z

My Sarah would of been alive in 1900/1901 because that's when my Grandpa was born. Anything close to that?

Re: Possible match to Sarah Boydston

2005-09-15 23:13:23Z

I just went back and read Thora's book and she has Sarah P. Boydston died in Kauffman, Texas in November 25,1865 (single).

Re: Possible match to Sarah Boydston

2005-09-15 22:44:14Z

I do not think so- as she was living with her sister, Mary Ann Bodyston Butler, in the 1860 Warren Co. ILL. census and she was 50 yrs.....so I'd say the answer would be none.
Now, there is a "Said Boydstun" [24yrs] in 1870 living with Mary Ann, but no Sarah living there in 1870. Who might "Said Boydston be?"

Re: Possible match to Sarah Boydston

2005-09-14 22:39:09Z

Does she have children? This is the one question in which I cannot seem to get answered.

Re: Possible match to Sarah Boydston

2004-09-20 14:30:35Z

Can you confirm that she had 2 children? If so, then we have a match.

Re: William Thomas Boydstun, b. 25 Nov 1819

2004-07-11 15:28:13Z

Thank you. I had him in his grandparent's family, not John's. I appreciate the clarification and would be glad for references for his parents and his dates. And . . . would you wish to share the names and data for his children?

Boydstun ancestors

billspellman — 2004-07-21 19:11:12Z

My BOYDSTUN ancestors start with Velma H BOYDSTUN b 9 Jan 1893 in Gibtown, Jack, Texas. She married Garrett CAVIN in Corn, Washita, Oklahoma 20 Aug 1908. She died 27 Aug 1960 in Amarillo, Texas.
Her parents were Edmond Lester BOYDSTUN b 19 Dec 1862 in Benton Co, Arkansas died 30 June 1943 in Tulia,Texas, and Sara Jane Louisa Anne 'Annie' GUTHRIE b 2 Mar 1869 in Benton Co, Arkansas, died 9 Jun 1954 Tulia,Texas.
Velma's siblings were Carrie Arminta, William Sylvester, Mary Louisa Paralee, Mabel Esther, Marguerite Rhea, Mrvin Brooke, Sarah Gladys, John Lester.
I believe that one of her siblings was born in Oklahoma.
Velma's grandparents were Thomas Jefferson BOYDSTUN b 28 Feb 1829 Tennessee, died 27 Aug 1885, and Mary Ann White JENNINGS b 19 Feb 1831,Tennessee, died 29 Oct 1909.
Her father's siblings were Abner Jennings, Mary Francis, Ann Eliza, John, Syrena Josephine 'Josie'.
Velma's greatgrandparents were Thomas BOYDSTUN b 12 Dec 1901 Hannah CUNNINGHAM b 11 Aug 1805.

Does anyone connect to this BOYDSTUN/BOYDSTON family?

The other Boydstun Book out is "Two Sons of James Sr. Boydstun and their Decendants" by Thora Ruth Green Moody. In this book Thora traveled all over the US gathering the genealogy information, interviewing family members and collecting pictures.

Re: Emily B. Boydstun 1817-1819) - parents needed

JacMcMahon — 2006-04-24 03:20:38Z

BOYDSTUN, SAID

JacMcMahon — 2006-04-24 02:53:17Z

Born in ILL abt 1846. Said was listed in the 1870 Warren Co. Ill. census living with Mary Ann Boydstun[on] Butler. Who is Said? Who are her parents? at 30yrs she was unmarried. She made hats. Could her given name be Sally or Sarah? There was a maiden older sister of Mary Ann living with the Butler family in 1860 in Greenbush, Warren Co. ILL.who also was named Sarah Boydstun[on].
Can't find what happened to her either. When she died? buried? Mary Ann went to Rockwall, TX. abt 1874 [her bro. Benjamin F. lived there already] with her son, James B. T. Butler. I do not know if other family members also traveled with them. Any one know???????

Re: Possible match to Sarah Boydston

JacMcMahon — 2005-09-14 22:02:02Z

The Sarah Boydstun [sister of Benjamin F.] mentioned in Thora's book is also a sister to Mary Ann Boydstun. Sarah (at the age of 50) was living with Isaac and Mary Ann [Boydstun] Butler and family in Warren Co.

Re: Wm Alvis

Yes, I am. I became a member of DAR though James Boydston Sr married to Mary Pruitt. Would love to share an information.

Re: Benjamin Boydstun

nancylbarnett — 2006-07-13 02:18:37Z

Which two sons? My line comes from James, Jr.

Re: Wm Alvis

nancylbarnett — 2006-07-13 02:16:11Z

Chuck:

I am currently making my applicaton to the DAR through , James Boydston, Sr. I believe that you joined the SAR through James Boydston, Jr. In your research what information do you have on James, Jr.'s Revolutionary War Service. I have some information that James Boydston(father), James, Jr. (son) and John Pruitt were sworn in to Capt. Joseph Cloyd's Company in Montgomery County, Virginia. James Jr. has not been entered into the DAR as a soldier. I would like to be able to that. My line goes through William's sister, Rhoda, who married John William Gage.

Thanks for any information you have

Primary sources for James Boydstun (b.1738) ?

ryanboydstun — 2007-09-25 18:42:59Z

I have filled the family tree with all of the family-lore (assumed) links, but am now attempting to document and confirm each connection with as many primary sources as possible. I am having trouble finding anything for James Boydstun (b. 1738, either PA or MD m. 1) Mary Pruitt/Prewitt m. 2) Tabitha Smith, d. 1814 KY), and specifically anything solid that ties the Boydstu/on families to the Boylston families. These could well be variations on the same name, but back in Scotland there are both "Boyd" and "Boyle" clans/surnames Boyd being natively Scottish while Boyle being Norman. They did share a region (in Ayr) and may very well have intermarried, but are from two different linages. Obviously this could make a decided difference as to where our/my current decendants stem from.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
-Ryan.

Re: Message to Bill Spellman from Melissa Blankenship

I am Cheryl D"Amico Cooper. My Grandmother was Sarah Gladys Boydstun. Velma was one of her older sisters and was visiting us in our home in 1960 when she had a heart attack from which she died a few days later in Amarillo, Texas. Aunt Velma was one of our favorites of Grandmother's 7 (I think) living sisters. Grandmother was the next to the youngest with Johnnie L. being the youngest and G. Mama's favorite. Don't think the other boys lived past infancy.

We had many happy family reunions when I was a child and I remember most of them fairly well.

Grandmother had 3 daughters:

Gladys Louise, Virginia (?), and Winifred Maxine

Louise was my mother (died 2/17/01. She had 3 children, Sandra Louise, Cheryl Loretta (me), and Robert Kenneth.

Virginia (still living to my knowledge) had 2 children: Lihnda and Stephen

Winnie (died 2/18/1964) had 4: Alicia Marie, Diana Lynn (died 11/1994), John Thomas, and Cynthia Ann

Sandra (died 12/2004) had 4 kids: David Allen, Teresa Michelle, Mark Neal and Scott Russell

Cheryl had 2 kids: Michel Christopher and Melissa Rachelle

Robert had 3 kids: Cory, Etta, and Chase

There are various grandchildren throughout.

I am seekihng information on the Guthrie side of our family, so please let me know if this is helpful to you and let me know if you have anything on the Guthries.

Thanks a million,

Cheryl Cooper

Re: Bartlett Boydstun

Jule_456 — 2006-02-17 22:31:04Z

Linda, I'm so happy to finally find another link to Bartlett Boydstun! I was given a photo of him somewhere in my connections with family members, it has the name of Joe McCormick as a member of the Tucker family written below Bartlett's picture. It also says that 'Joe' has the original photo of Bartlett, and I would love to get in touch to try to get an email copy that would be printable. This one is done possibly on a printer versus a scanner, so my copy that was given is very poor, with indefinate lines around his head and face. If you know who has the original, we can trade, as it happens, I have the original portrait of Howell T. done in charcoal. I'm running on, contact me through my email; Jule_456@msn.com Thanks! Jule

Re: Bartlett Boydstun
