Unsourced Profile

Question

I am trying to work on some of the unsourced profiles on my tree.  One is Sam Boyd.  I can find no parents for him on Ancestry or any other place.  I have a daughter listed in my family tree program, Boyd-3160.  That is the only family member I can find for him.  Her name is Mirah, could be Mariah, but I am not sure. Her husband and a son are listed.

I had to figure out who he even is on my tree.   Not many Boyds.  I did find he is somehow related to my aunt, Hobson-717.  (She was married to my first Uncle, Howard Dickson Pendergrass, Jr.)  I am working my way back towards Sam Boyd,

Is anyone familiar with this family at all?  Some lived in Idaho, coming there thru Iowa, Indiana and, I think, Ohio.

Just wondering if anyone has a clue, cuz I don't! :) NOTHING turns up for this guy.

Thank you,

Betty

I did find a probate will, S. Sagers.  I will keep looking tho.  Thanks.

Answer 1

1840 Census A Samuel Boyd in Calhoun County, Alabama (where the daughter was married) of the about the right age. There are two Samuels on the page, probably father and son.

Thank you, Deb!  I will see if I can find that one.  I did look, but may have missed it.  I appreciate it, very much.
