more from Barry West & Marie West

iadecatu listing feb 20 2006 I have a request from one of my Boyd cousins for DAR information on the
Craig family of Davis City. I know there are Craig cousins on my mother's side
of the list on this site and there was DAR research on the Craigs done in the
past. There were seven Craig brothers in the Revolutionary War. Contact me
if you have any information on this topic.

This brings up a question for me. There were Craigs, Osborns, in the school with Sanford Boyd's children. My mom's mother was Lou Craig from Davis City in Decatur County. I know that Lou's grandfather raised Lou and was for a time living I believe Mercer County. This makes me wonder if Lou was related to the Craigs in Mercer County. Some of these Craigs married into the Osborns. There were also Perks in the area at that time. I noticed that the marriage date of Sanford and the moving time to Mercer County were odd.
Thanks for the information.
Barry

Shirley,
Appreciate your sending me on the Amanda E. Boyd family. I know I already sent you the marriage listing for her and Lewis Harrison Grimes and the 1850 Putnam Co., IN cencus where she appears with her parents and siblings.
Following you will find info sent to me by another of these siblings. It explains that John Boyd B abt. 1800 KY wife Polly B abt. 1804 KY. Polly died in Putnam Co., and he married again to Lucy Ann Perks B Feb. 1826. and they had three children: William, Sanford and Pete. Apparently they moved to Davis Co. I think near Leon? Anyway they only stayed about a year in IA and went to MO.

Marie's addy is : ray_marie@juno.com
her son Barry's is: BRWest@aol.com

You will find difference in the census names and the following account, but will give you gals a starting point. Hopefully, you'll be able to develope this line. Marie received this from a cousin Virginia.
We all can share and get someplace!
