I was in contact with Wanda a couple of years ago. She gave me a photo of the greater Boykin family that includes many extended family members. It is one of those pictures that you need a complete family history in order to understand all the people pictured. I now understand how everyone is connected. The only misinformation I found was a note about William Kuck (Cook) being in the Rebel side of the Civil War. He was not old enough to have been in the conflict. He and his first wife Hattie Hight took in Hattie Elder and raised her along with their daughter Minnie Florence, who died at about 14. They also had a daughter Edith Pearl who married a Watson. Edith and her husband died as young parents and Hattie Hight Kuck (now Bowman) took in some of the grandchildren and raised Margaret Watson. The other two Watson children ended up back in Indiana with Watson family.
Hattie Elder was born about 1878. As a toddler on the 1880 census she is living with William and Hattie Hight Kuck and their child in Kosciusko County Indiana. She marries Fred Kintzel in Kosciusko County before 1900. In 1900 she is in Wisconsin with her brother, (not Homer). I found William Kuck on censuses in GA. I think Hattie came south to live with or visit William Kuck, who was a carpenter, and she met Mose Boykin. I have a long letter written by William Bowman (Hattie Hight's second husband) regarding their travels thorugh the south and they spent a lot of time in GA in 1905. I am reasonably certain they visited with at least the Boykins and probably William Kuck, too. They visited Tifton, Cordele, Fitzgerald, Macon and Abbeville. The Bowmans moved to WEst Palm Beach in October 1914. The photo Wanda shared with me is dated 1913, West Palm Beach, but the Bowmans vacationed there for about four or more years before officially moving and selling their Boubon, Indiana home. I am in contact with a Rick Gregory who is helping me on the Boykin line, do you know him?
