Notes for R
OBERT BOYD:
      An LDS file indicates Robert's mother's name was "Elizabeth." No source info is given.
     
      Robert, who always spelled his name BOID, and a veteran of the War of 1812 settled with several of his family members in Tuscaloosa Co., AL about 1830. The following info was transcribed from his family Bible:

(Children)
"Polly BOID was bourn Sept the 28 day of 1801;
Jane BOID was bourn March the 29 year 1805;
Sarah BOID was bourn July the 8 day year 1807;
Elizabeth BOID was bourn October the 10, 1809;
John Ala BOID was bourn January the 5 day 1812;
Rachel BOID was bourn Sept the 27 day 1813;
William Washington BOID was bourn April the 13 day 1817;
Caty Carline BOID was bourn July the 15 year 1820."

(Grandchildren)
"(unknown -corner torn off) was bourn January 13th day 1823;
Anna Carline KEZAR bourn Oct the 21 1827;
John Alexander KEZAR bourn Sept the 1 day 1829 (the "KEZARs" are children of Robert Lee and Polly (Boyd) Kizziah);
Jane MANICAH was bourn Dec the 16 day 1829; <= I have not been able to identify this person -Jim N.
Robert Boid NEWEL was bourn Dec the 19th 1824;
Matthew NEWEL was born Sept the 17 day 1827 (the "NEWELs" are children of James and Sarah (Boyd) NEWELL)"
      Available records seem to indicate that the Kezar grandchildren are children of Robert Lee and Polly (Boyd) Kizziah. Robert Lee Kizziah was married to "a" Polly Boyd and circumstantial evidence points to her being Robert Boyd's daughter Polly.
     
      1810 census: 1m 26-45, 4f <10, 1f 26-45
      1830 census: 1m 10-15, 1m 15-20, 1f 5-10, 1f 10-15, 1f 15-20, 1f 20-30, 1f 40-50
      Written "Robert" 69 NC in 1850.
      Appears to be written "Richard Boyard" 89 NC in1860. Transcribed "Bayard."

Notes for T
EMPERANCE "TEMPIE" PITMAN:
      Tempie is the 26-45 female on the 1810 Mecklenburg Co., NC census of Robert Boyd:
      1810 census: 1m 26-45, 4f <10, 1f 26-45
      Family sources indicate that Temperance was the daughter of Matthew Pitman. Positive evidence of this has not been forthcoming, however, Robert and Tempie named their second child Matthew Pitman Newell, and there was a Matthew Pitman (Jr.), supposed brother of Tempie, in Tuscaloosa Co., AL along with the Boyds, Newells, and Kizziahs in the early 1830s.

YDIA WHITAKER:
      In 1870, Lydia is "head of household" with two children and two adults living with her, Earley and Emeline. Emeline's age matches Sara Leah. The adults are Rebecca Hunnicutt age 77 SC and Fletcher Hunnicutt age 43 AL. The relationship is unknown. In 1880, Lydia is living with her son, James Earley Boyd and family, in Franklin Co., AL.
