Jim Allen (note David Boykin bought the Boykin House Hotel. Before that he was a Teamster.
* On the 1900 census he states his parents were both born in GA. Roll T623-915. SC as a POB is given by his sister. David & Margaret Boykin had 3 children. Mary Jane who died on her 18th birthday, Sarah, which is my line, and her brother "Peter." That is the name he went by. On the census it is Levin (Scion?). Sarah had 13 Children! The two oldest made a visit to Montana to spend some time with their grandfather. That is where "Maggie" met her future husband. They intended to return to Texas after their marriage but never did. Elmer and his father were homesteading and they were staying at "The Boykin House" while they looked for land. This is where they met and their wedding was held at the hotel. Margaret Ann ZUMWALT Boykin died of influenza. David took the children to her parents. This is where I lose track of David. Do you know where he is in 1870 and 1880? The children are in Belmont, TX in 1870 with Andrew and Harriet A. LARRIMORE Zumwalt. In 1880 S.A. "Peter" Boykin is living in Harwood, TX with Andrew Zumwalt and his 2nd wife, Elizabeth E. HAHN - Theresa Mitchell.

There are very strong name links to the wives of John Drury, Jr.,
John Drury, Sr. and the children of Tobias Boykin to the children of Si
L. Boykin. This may be taken as prima facie evidence of kinship. Note: See e-mail dated 24 Apr 1998 below.

Bob (John Robert) Peavy notes

On May 1828, Sion Lee Boykin b 1800-1806 & Elizabeth E Anderson b c 1810 (daughter of my wifes
's gggggparents Hezekiah Anderson d Mar 1826 & Alley ____ were m in Screven Co Ga by Lewis Malone Strickland J.P. In the Screven Co Ga Census of 1810, Sion and ? Elizabeth appear to have a son less than 5 years of age. On 25 Nov 1830, Alley, her son-in-law Sion and another son-in-law signed as surety for yet another son-in-law's administration of estate of Alley's? brother-in-law, James Anderson (whose heirs were apparently brothers and brothers-in-law). Sion was included in similar bond on 6 Dec 1830, but not on 10 Jan 1831. On 26 Feb 1831, Sion bouht a horse at the sale of the estate of James Anderson. In the division of Hezekiah's estate, Sion Boykin is listed as an heir on 8 Jul 1833, but not on 20 Sept 1833.

In his will of 17 Mar 1836 (Screven Co Ga Will Book 1 p 48), Ely Rushing b 1810-1820 names his brother-in-law Sion L Boykin as his executor (other heirs were his brother Michael J Rushing and sisters Mahala and Caroline).

Sion Lee Boykin does not appear in the Screven Co Ga Census of 1840. In addition to spelling variations Sion/Scion/Sihon, the name is misread as Lion/Leon. Sion Lee Boykin may be the natural son of the Selah/Celia Boykin b c 1970 who m c 1806-1807 George Mock b c 1785 (Sion was probably with George & Celia in 1820). On 14 Jun 1806, a Selah Boykin (?age 16) made a gift of a cow, a calf and a two year old heifer to her son Sihon Lee Boykin (at most six years old at the time). George Mock b c 1785 m c 1806 - 1807 a Selah/Celia Boykin b c 1790 (sister of my ggggfather), and they are ancestors of most of the Screven Co Ga Mocks. A couple of their grandsons were named Sion B Mock b c 1842 and Sion Mock household includes one young man b 1796 - 1802 ( I believe this man to be Sion Lee Boykin), two boys b 1808 -1810, and three boys and a girl b 1810-1820 George and Selah are known to have had five children, sons b 1808, 1811, 1815 and 1817 and a daughter b 1813.

DECENDANTS OF JOHN YANCY CRISWELL, SR. & ELEANOR VANNOY, a sketch by Sue Ragland Diggle. Stanley McMicken File.
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.

Note: Concerning the above. I also believe this Mary to be Sion's wife. His daughter Mary was married to William Pytus Tumlinson and had a child 28 Dec 1848 - this is only a "window" of five months. The Mary on the 1850 census was probably William J. Boykin's first wife (Sion's daug., Mary, was with her husband and child at this census), but she would only have been 15 in 1847 - Jim Allen.

BOYKIN BIOGRAPHIES: JOHN A. BOYKIN: FLORIDA PIONEER. HIS ANCESTORS & DESCENDANTS, by Walter Maxwell, Jr.
...It is my belief that Sion L. Boykin is the "unknown son" given in Max's book . The main evidence for this conclusion is TIME and PROXIMITY. Sion was of the the right age to be a sibling of the other two sons of Lodwick (John A. & Henry). There is more than adequate evidence that Sion was in the area of Lodwick and his father, John Drury Boykin, Sr. and the "connection" in Screven Co., GA. There is oral tradition that there was a "Tory" in our lineage. This could very well be John Drury Boykin, Sr. whose lands were confiscated, but returned at some time after the Revolutionary War. In addition, there are numerous "name links" to the other Boykins of this area. All this in itself is not conclusive, but since most other lines have been extensively researched, there are not that many viable possibilities available. The only other possibility known to this researcher is a possible son of Henry, son of John Drury and brother of Lodwick. Known references to Henry and his wife, "Miss Moore," state that no records are available to substantiate any theories along this line. Thus, until otherwise proven, I will carry Sion Boykin as a son of Lodwick in the full belief that he truly was - Jim Allen. (Note: see new info about Selah Boykin above - Jim Allen)

...on 20 May 1828 Sion Lee Boykin b. 1800-1806 & Elizabeth E. Anderson b. c1810 (daughter of Hezekiah Anderson d. Mar 1826 and Alley __?__) were m. in Screven Co., GA by Lewis Malone Strickland, J.P.
...on 25 Nov 1830, Alley, her son-in-law Sion and another son-in-law signed as surety for yet another son-in-law's administration of the estate of Alley's brother-in-law, James Anderson (whose heirs were apparently brothers and brothers-in-law).
...Sion was included in a similar bond on 6 Dec 1830, but not on 10 Jan 1931. On 26 Feb 1831, Sion bought a horse at the sale of the estate of James Anderson.
...in the division of Hezekiah's estate, Sion Boykin is listed as an heir on 8 Jul 1833, but not on 20 Sep 1833!
...in his will of 17 Mar 1836 (Screven Co., GA Will Book 1, p. 48), Ely Rushing b. 1810-1820 names his brother-in-law Sion L. Boykin as his executor (other heirs were his brother Michael J. Rushing and sisters Mahala and Caroline).
...Sion Lee Boykin does not appear in the Screven Co., GA Census of 1840. In addition to spelling variations Sion/Scion/Sihon, the name is misread as Lion/Leon. Sion Lee Boykin may be the natural son of the Selah/Celia BOYKIN b. c1790 who m. c1806-07 George Mock b. c1785 (probably with George and Celia in 1820).

BOYKIN Screven Co GA, Liberty Co FL
...I do not know the parentage of Sion Lee Boykin b. 29 Jan 1806. I know of no other researchers who are pursuing this issue. The earliest mention of him that I know of, and perhapst the only Screven Co GA record that includes more than a middle initial) is a record of a gift from his mother, Selah Boykin, dated 14 Jun 1806 (Screven Co GA Deed Book A, p. 426 records a gift of cattle from Selah Boykin to her son Sihon Lee Boykin). That one deed record does not clarify whether Selah was a Boykin daughter or a Boykin wife or widow, but it is remarkable if for no other reason because of the age of the grantee and because it is the mother who is the grantor (and the mother may be quite young as well. Appears to have been about 16 - Jim Allen). John Boykin Sr's daughter, Selah/Celia Boykin (b. c1790) must have m. by 1807 George Mock (b. c1785). Their household in 1820 included a young man b. 1796-1802, two boys b. 1804-1810, and three boys and a girl b. 1810-1820. By 1820 George Mock and Selah are known to have had five children, sons b. 1808, 1811, 1815, & 1817 and a daughter b. 1813. George Mock & Selah Boykin also had a grandson named Sion B(oykin?) Mock b. c1842.

Although the court records of Jul 1833 include Sion Lee Boykin as an heir of Hezekiah Anderson, by Sep 1833, he is no longer in the list, which *m*a*y* imply that both he and his wife (and a child?) are dead by Sep 1833 (Nope! - Jim Allen) - or perhaps they had moved away. The Screven Co., GA Census of 1830 shows Sion Lee Boykin to have a hosehold of three, including a male child (William Joseph - b. 1829) less than five years old.
