William Boyd Family Crooked Run Creek, Fairfield Co; SC I am looking for additional information on the following: HUSBAND: William BOYD
------------------------------------------------------------
William Boyd My information comes from an old draft of a book I think was entitled North of the Broad River, The Boyd Family on Crooked Run Creek. It was written by Buford Chappell, a dentist, as I understand it. He is now deceased. A kind librarian over at the Fairfield County Library and Museum sent me a copy of this info. It states " As previously noted, Mary, Jane, and Jennett (or Janet) BOYD, all had surveys of 100 acres of land on the headwaters of Crooked Run Creek in 1767. William Boyd, husband of Jane Boyd, apparently didn't receive a survey on Crooked Run Creek with the rest of the family, but did receive a grant for 100 acres of land on Crooked Run Creek in October 1772." "William BOYD Sr. died intestate in Fairfield County in late 1791 or early 1792. If he was 41 years old when he came to South Carolina, he lived for about 25 years in Fairfield County and died at about the age of 66 years. His son-in-law James BROWN and his nephew Samuel ALSTON were appointed his administrators on January 15, 1792. Among his possessions was a tomahawk (F.D.B., Bk. S, P-39, 1807). Although not mentioned in his probate papers, we know from records that Jane was the wife of William BOYD and that he had the following children: William Boyd Jr, wife
named Nancy Although the records of the deeds are incomplete, we know that William Boyd Sr., in addition to the 100 acres of land granted him in October 1772, acquired tracts of 138 acres and 46 acres on Alligator Creek of Little River, beign part of 400 acres granted James Daniel on January 21, 1785. He also acquired part (132 acres) of the tract of 450 acres of land that had been granted to Thomas Hathcock on December 24, 1772 (F.D.B., Bk. Y, pp-200,333,1815)" "William Boyd (Sr.)
had acquired considerable prestige and was a man of prominence by
the year 1785, and was known as William Boyd Esq. On Tuesday,
October 25, 1785 he was appointed sheriff of Fairfield County and on
that date took the oath of office. Robert Craig was chose as his
undersheriff and John Bell was chosen deputy sheriff. In the July 1794
tern of court for Fairfield County, Robert Craig entered a suit against
the administrators of the estate of William Boyd (Sr.). The court
ordered auditors and third parties to judge the merit of a dispute
in the accounts of the estate of William Boyd (Sr.) . After "William BOYD JR. appears to have been the only male heir of William Boyd (Sr.) at the time of his death in 1791 or 1792. William Boyd Jr. and his wife Nancy released the 132 acres of land that William Boyd Jr. had inherited from his father for $100. This land lay on Crooked Run Creek and was part of the 450 acres that had been granted Thomas Heathcock on December 24, 1772. This land was bound northeast on the land of James BROWN, southeast on the land of James ALSTON, southwest on the estate of John ALSTON, ESq. (deceased), and northwest on the Camak land (F.D.B., Bk Y, Pp. - 200, 333)." "William BOYD Jr.,
as executor of the estate of David Motte, entered a suit against
James BROWN and Samuel ALSTON, administrators of the estate of
William BOYD (SR.) in the July 1795 term of court, Fairfield County
Court. The court ruled in favor of William BOYD Jr. as the plaintiff
and the estate of William Boyd Sr. was required to pay 30 pounds
with interest. William Boyd Jr. was called for duty as a petit juror
on several occasions and in the July 1799 term of court served as a
petit juror with David and Andrew BOYD (Holcomb, Minutes of Wiley
