According to the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame genealogy reseach department William Joseph Boykin joined the Texas Rangers Oct 25, 1848 until December 8, 1848.
In the book, The Texas Rangers: A Registry and History - on page 72, it states;
Company H/McCulloch's Company
Captian Henry E. McCulloch (October 25, 1847 - December 10, 1848)
Ranging District; Llano River country with headquarters at McCulloch's Station/Post McCulloch.
______________________________________________________________________________
...Wm. J. Boykin served in the 6th company of Texas Rangers organized by Henry E. McCulloch. It was organized 5 May 1851 at Ft. Merrill, on the Nueces.
Earlier enlistments are possible.
...In the 1850 Gonzales Co., TX census there is a Sion (spelled "Scion") Boykin b. 1806 In GA., listed with 8 children, the oldest of whom was William, b. 1829. Sion's wife was apparently dead, as she was not listed in the census. The oldest daughter was named "Mary" which in all probability was also her mother's name. The Texas Baptist and Herald, 5 Mar 1887, states in its Historical Series that the Church at Gonzales was organized 31 Jul 1847 with Richard D. Ellis, pastor, T.J. Pilgrim, clerk, and 7 other members, one of whom was Mary Boykin who I think was Sion's wife, although she could have been his dau. Mary, then 15. The Boykins came to Texas between 1844 when their youngest child was born in AL and Nov. 1850 when the census was taken. I have no proof, but I strongly believe that Wm. J. is this same Wm., b. 1829, son of Sion. Further, Eliza Jane and Wm. J. named their oldest child "Mary." Wm. J's dau., Lillie told me her father was b. 2 May 1829 near Macon, GA, but she did not know who his parents were.

...Wm. Boykin, husband of the eldest daughter and oldest child Eliza Jane, was appointed one of the administrators of the estate of Leroy V. & Elizabeth A. Criswell.
...In 1886, the family was living in Elmendorf, Bexar Co., TX where he farmed cotton.
...Upon the death of his (James Harvey Criswell's) parents, when he was about 13-14 years of age, he learned that his brother-in-law, Bill Boykin, was to be an administrator of his father's estate; "not liking old Bill Boykin worth a dam," he saddled his horse and left.

WILLIAM JOSEPH BOYKIN, by William B. Bennett
...William Joseph Boykin served in the Confederate Army. His Confederate pension number was 1171. It is thought that at one time he was taken prisoner by the "Yankees" but because of the letters of 1862 and 1864 it is not clear when this could have been if indeed it happened (it is VERY doubtful - Jim Allen). He was a fine Christian gentleman who read his Bible daily. He descended from the famous Richard Lee family of Virginia but did not believe in boasting about his heritage (see this statement also attributed to Sion Lee Boykin - Jim Allen). His mother's surname was West (incorrect, she was Elizabeth E. Anderson - Jim Allen). His wife's Maiden name was Elizabeth Jane Criswell. Her father was Leroy Criswell who was discharged from the Texas Army in San Antonio during the period between the capture of that city by Texas forces and the fall of the Alamo. It is believed he rejoined the Army for the Battle of San Jacinto and was with "Deaf" Smith at the distruction of Vince's Bridge. The family home was near Flatonia, Texas. William Joseph Boykin's father was Sion Alfred (error, it was Sion Lee - Jim Allen) Boykin.
