Boyd / Mary Ann Marshall Coweta County, GA to Wise County, TX The family of this name has been one of the solid, representative and substantial families of Wise County since the early days of settlement.

of Wise County, by Cliff D. Cates, published 1907, Dear Richard I was wondering if you posted the article on Richard W. Boyd, from the Pioneer History of Wise County, on the Clan Boyd website, International. If so, are you descended from Richard W. Boyd? I believe that Henry Thomas Boyd, listed as one of the sons of Richard W. Boyd, was my great-grandfather and namesake. My grandfather, Arthur Elliott Boyd, was born in Boyd, Wise County, Texas, then moved on to Artesia, New Mexico, and finally settled in Plainview, Texas, where my father was born. I was also born in Plainview. I have done some research on our line of Boyds, but have not gotten very far. Do you have any information on Richard W. Boyd's parents or grandparents? Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated. Tom Boyd To: Richboyd Boyd, Texas in southern
Wise County, originated in 1893, as a station on the Thanks to the roll call
