    Notes:

    There is much confusion about the dates on Roberts birth and death.
    He may have died in Ala. and buried there and then later moved back to Ga.
    a few months later. ???
    Some researchers have him born 1 Mar., 1820, but he could not have been born
    only 6 months after his brother. We believe that the above listed date is
    correct.
    He was born in what is now Pendleton, Anderson Co., S.C.

    Several Boyd families from N.GA. are looking for ancestors with the same
    migration pattern as you Mary Boyd.
    Several came from Halifax, VA. to that general area of S.C. then on to the
    "Federal Road" across the Cherokee Nation from Hall Co., GA. through what is
    not Forsyth, Cherkee, Floyd Co's. GA. into AL.
    Is there any additional info. that might be a clue to which of the groups she
    might belong?
    My GG.Grandfather, Robert A Boyd was in Pickens Dist., S.C. in 1850, and
    between 1858/60 moved to Forsyth Co., GA., then in very late 1800's on to Al.
    withourt his family.
