Capt. Thomas Boyd
I have found reference twice to "Captain Thomas Boyd," over 100 years
apart. The older one had a son named Thomas Boyd who was married
twice but had no children from either marriage. I am trying to
determine
if the second Capt. Thomas Boyd is the same person as Thomas Boyd,
Jr., son of Capt. Thomas Boyd. Can anyone help? Here are
the two
references:
"Captain Thomas Boyd, a prominent planter of Lexington [SC] district,
and living near 'Spring Hill,' was born about 1750. He was a
patriot in
the Rev. War. For several years he held the office of Justice
of the
Quorum for that district. He married Eve Anne Summer, daughter
of
Frances [Francis?] Summer, a soldier of the Rev. in the SC Continentals
and a son of the pioneer, John Adam Summer. Their children were:
Esther (married David Richardson), Margaret (married Jacob Lindler),
Janette (married Dampsey [Dempsey?] Busby), Jane, Robert C., and Thomas
Jr. James C. married the widow of John George Houseal (Mary
Margaret
Summer, daughter of Colonel John Adam Summer, Jr.).
Robert C. moved
to GA. Thomas Boyd, Jr. married first, Miss Souseal, and second
Miss
Eleazer. There were no chidlren from either marriage."
Newberry County, SC Historical and Genealogical Society,
page 197
George Leland Summer, Sr.
The second reference was taken from the August 7, 1877 issue of Southern
Christian Advocate 1867-1878 (it's a wedding announcement):
"By Rev.
J. E. Watson, Jul 28, 1877, at the residence of Capt. Thom. Boyd, Mr.
W.
H. Hough, of Newberry, to Miss Mary Jacobs of Lexington, SC."
"Captain Thomas Boyd" and "Lexington" SC are mentioned in both.
Can
someone confirm or deny a relationship between these two Captain
Thomas
BOYDs? Does someone know which church deomination published the
Southern Christian Advocate?
