Marcus Boyd and Sarah Ballentine
I am searching for any information
on my gg grandfather, Marcus Boyd,
born in Tennessee ca 1822.
He married Sarah Jane BALLENTINE in
Montgomery Co., TN on 9 Feb.
1850.
Children;
John C.
b. Nov./Dec. 1850 TN
Daughter
b. 15 Aug. 1853 Trigg Co., KY (died at birth)
Margaret
E. b. 16 Aug. 1854 Trigg Co., KY
William
L. b. 9 Apr. 1855 McCracken Co., KY
Charles
b. 21 May 1857 McCracken Co., KY
Luther
b. 1 Sept. 1861 McCracken Co., KY
Sarah probably died shortly
after Luther was born. I do not know where
or when Marcus died.
I have only their marriage record, the birth
records of the children and
the 1860 census of McCracken Co.
My great grandfather, John
C. Boyd married Nancy HALL 22 Jan.
1877 in
Montgomery Co., TN.
John and Nancy and two of their children, Edward
Lee and Andrew Thomas, are
listed on the 1880 census of Cheatham Co.,
TN. They returned to
the Lovelaceville area of Ballard/McCracken Co. ca
1882 and john died there the
winter of 1887-88.
I have found three other Marcus
BOYDs; one married Eliza HAMILTON in
Williamson Co., TN in 1825
and later moved to MO, another married Mary
Jane
TURNER in Bledsoe Co., TN and the last one married a Margaret
BOYD
in Trigg Co., KY in 1857.
They do not appear to be directly connected
to my gg grandfather.
Any information would be most
appreciated.
