    Charles Boyd (cboyd1@bellsouth.net) 1999

    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.
