intertwine, intermarry and are totally entangled with the Paynes,
McWhorters and Sloan/Slone families (among others) in Meriwether and
Carroll counties.

Boyd, David Barton Boyd, Francis Boyd, Jefferson Boyd. I
have an actual copy of Robert's will taken from the will book in
Greenville, Meriwether County. (I whined and begged until they allowed
me to make a copy. The book is literally falling apart.)

Sarah Ann ( I don't have her parents) was b. 1 May 1825. d. 21 June 1889
in Carroll Co., GA. Buried at Powell's Chapel. Sarah Ann's last name has
been seen spelled many ways. "Le Guin" is how it appears in my
mother's family Bible. Possible link to the Le Guin family of McDonough,
Henry County, Georgia. Children: Christopher Columbus Boyd, Melvina
Boyd, Louisa Elizabeth Boyd, Nancy Ann Boyd.
4th

LOUISA ELIZABETH BOYD, b. 1 Feb 1858 (not sure whether she was born in
Meriwether or Carroll. The family moved between 1850-1860), d. 23 March
1950 in Cobb or Douglas County ... she was living in either Austell or
Lithia Springs at the time of her death. Buried at Powell's Chapel.

and Polly Ann Wood(s). Joseph (a twin) was born 20 Jan 1854 and died 30
Sept 1891 in Carroll Co., GA. (Typhoid fever) Buried at Powell's Chapel.
Marriage date is in Bible passed from Christopher Columbus Boyd to his
niece, Milie Ann Payne White, to her niece, Marian Payne McWhorter
Fowler (my mother). Actual marriage record for Christopher Columbus and
his wife, Sarah G.H. ----, or for Louisa and Joseph has not been found
to date. Children: Coie O. Lonzo, Robert Stephen, Milie Ann, Sarah
