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.

Eugene was in the US Navy during World War 1. His records show him in Dallas Texas on Oct 27, 1917. Next he was in Naval training at Great Lakes Naval Station, Illinois. 10-27-17 to 11-30-17

He served on two known ships.

The first was the USS Wisconsin from Nov 30, 1917 to Feb 1, 1918. The Wisconsin returned to the York River region early in October and resumed her training activities in that locale, operating primarily in the Chesapeake Bay area. Wisconsin continued that duty into the spring of 1918, interrupting her training evolutions between 30 October and 18 December 1917 for repairs at the Philadelphia Navy Yard.

He then was stationed at Norfork Va. from Feb 4, 1918 to Feb 14, 1918 where he was assigned to the USS Dochra on Feb 15, 1917 to Nov 11, 1918.

Here are the notes on the Dochra.
USS Dochra (ID # 1758), 1917-1919
USS Dochra, a 4309 gross ton (10,000 tons displacement) cargo ship, was built in 1906 at Newcastle, England, as a commercial freighter. Acquired by the Navy in October 1917, she was placed in commission at that time. During and after World War I she carried cargo between U.S. and Canadian ports and those in Europe. In March and April 1919 the ship also made a voyage to Cuba. Her mundane service was enlivened at the beginning of July 1918, when she survived an exchange of gunfire with the German submarine U-151. USS Dochra was decommissioned in May 1919 and transferred to the United States Shipping Board for return to her owners, Barber & Company of New York City.

After the sinking of the Augwald, the U-151 nosed northeasterly in the first stage of the course around the north of the British Isles and, in so doing, encountered several armed ships from a convoy that had been scattered by storm. The first of these was the British steam ship Glenlee, which, with a dozen other vessels, had started from New York, on June 15, under convoy of the US cruiser Columbia. The Glenlee had fallen far behind the rest and at 7a.m. on June 25, was intercepted by the U-151 in 40’N., 49’W. The British gunners offered so effective a resistance that the enemy finally gave up the attack, but not before the ship’s wireless calls had been caught by the rest of the convoy. One of these, the United States Navy cargo carrier Dochra, had also become separated from the convoying cruiser, and the U-151 located it, at 7p.m. the same day, in 40’25” N., 47’ 29” W.

The Dochra was carrying a cargo of hydroplanes to France, and would have been a valuable addition to the enemy’s toll. The submarine opened fire at a distance of a mile and a half, firing three shots, all of which fell astern. The Dochra replied with ten shells from its 4-inch guns and the aim of the navy gunners was too close to the U-151 for comfort. The U-boat submerged and it was feared it would try and run up close and undetected and torpedo the steamer. The convoying cruiser, far ahead with the main part of the fleet, solved this danger by ordering the Dochra to return to Halifax.

This was taken from the Manuscript narrative, Robert W. Martz, USN.

...L&D-180 B & C: Shows an unnamed child that died. Since Owen is not on the 1900 census, it was prob. him (wrong Jim!!). He is mentioned in the obit of his father, however. This could be an error as there was another obit that did not list the children's names. See Robert B. Boykin.

...Grandmother (Ruth Lydia) had a large cedar chest on her screened porch at her home in Goliad. Therein she stored items of importance to her: the flag used to cover her son Jack's coffin, and uniforms from her sons and her brother Nolan. Uncle Nolan's Army uniform shirts were Olive in color and made of wool. The sleeves had extra material in the cuffs so that when the cuff was buttoned, nothing could enter through the slit. I was told that this was designed to keep the Mustard Gas off skin.
I remember going to see Uncle Nolan at the Veteran's Hospital in Waco. I don't remember the year, but it must have been the late 50s. He was quite handy with his hands and skilled at building things of wood. My sister has the small chair he made for her and I still have a wooden scrapbook he made. I was told that Uncle Nolan had been gassed during the War and had trouble breathing, so that was why he was in the V.A. Hospital.

...My paternal grandmother, Ruth Lydia BOYKIN Calhoun, was a Spanish teacher and Librarian at Goliad High School. Whenever I stayed with her and Granddad, I never minded going with her to school, as I had full run of the library. Reading was encouraged, and I am still an avid reader. I believe she got her degree in 1951 from Southwest Texas State. She was a hard worker and enjoyed teaching. I suspect she was a tough taskmaster!
...Grandmother had several old photo albums and I remember a photo of a fellow standing next to a Saquaro cactus with a six-shooter on his hip. I was told that this was the Boykin that lived in Arizona and that he had searched for and discovered Molybdenum in the area and that this discovery aided the war (WWI) effort. Molybdenum is used as an alloying agent in Steel. I don't know this man's name or exactly how he is related, but he was definitely a Boykin. As a note of interest, there is a Kippi Boykin who is a champion pistol shooter who lives in Arizona. She might be a shirt-tail relative.

Notes:

Roland Wesley Jones changed his name to John Albert Jackson

Roland Wesley Jones was in the service at about age 18, so around
1919 or 1920. He was stationed in California. He went AWOL and moved to NY and changed his name to John Albert Jackson. He moved to SC and married my grandmother Bessie Catherine Mitchum in April of 1927. About 25 years later (I'll have to check the approximate date), he went to Ft. Jackson in SC (they were living in Columbia, SC at that time) and turned himself in.
Roland Wesley Jones did get his discharge at that time.

Roland married Bessie Catherine Mitchum on 18 Apr 1927 in South Carolina. Bessie (daughter of Benjamin John Mitichum and Rowena Elizabeth Mitchum) was born on 2 Oct 1910 in South Carolina; died on 29 Jan 2005 in West Columbia, Lexington, South Carolina. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Nina Stroud Monroe, 93, of Lorena, went to be with the Lord, our Savior, Saturday, March 13, 2010, after a brief illness. Funeral services will be 10 a.m. Tuesday, March 16, at Pecan Grove Funeral Home, 3124 Robinson Dr. Burial will follow at Oakwood Cemetery. The family will receive visitors 6 to 8 p.m. Monday at the funeral home. Nina was born March 13, 1917, in Coryell County, to Lee Alexander Brownlow and Minnie Pearl Kidd Brownlow. She was raised in Waco and graduated from Waco High School in 1935. She married Woodrow Henry Stroud, and her only child, Woodliff Harvard "Woody" Stroud, was born. Nina would later meet and marry the love of her life, James Lawrence Monroe, July 15, 1966. They spent the majority of their married years in the Lorena area. Nina remained in the Lorena community after her husband's death Oct. 15, 2003. She remained independent and continued to maintain their family home. Nina worked for George's Chef in Waco, later known as Surf & Sirloin for 30 years. She created lifelong friends and relationships while working there. Later, she acquired vocational training in the clerical field and worked for the Waco Independent School District in the transportation office and for the Retail Grocer's Association. Nina worked well into her nineties with Sam's Club in Bellmead. She performed food demonstrations and was proud to be called a 'DEMO' girl. She was an energetic go-getter. She loved working and interacting with her co-workers and the public. She would often mention, "It keeps me going." Her love of working was no comparison to the love of her family. Her husband, son, grandchildren and great-grandchildren were very much a center of her life. She introduced her grandchildren to fishing and swimming. She thought it very important to "Keep Moving." Nina loved to travel with her family. She would often travel with her son, Woody, and daughter-in-law, Sandy, to such places as New Braunsfel and Corpus Christi. She would also travel to Arkansas to see her granddaughter and great grandchildren. It was no surprise that with girlfriends, she would grab a tour bus to an impromptu destination, whether to tromp a simple blue-bonnet patch or to see other exciting places. San Antonio had become her newest travel location. She would visit her youngest grandchild and her two newest great-grandchildren. Nina's grandchildren and great-grandchildren will remember their Granny's love of swimming, fishing, the smell of Baby Magic lotion, outings to the YWCA, and simple weekend routines to the laundry-mat and the H.E.B. Her friends will remember her joyous smile, infectious personality, and the secrets that only lifelong friends can share. Nina loved the Lord and attended Central United Methodist Church in Waco. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband; and three sisters, Alice Mae Mills, Alma McKee, Mary Lou Reynolds. She leaves to cherish her memory her son, Woody Stroud and wife, Sandy, of Waco; granddaughters, Shelli Stroud Cross and husband, William, of El Dorado, Ark., and Kelly Macdonald and husband, John, of China Spring; grandson, Stephen Stroud and wife, Emily, of San Antonio; great-grandchildren, Morgan and Robert Cross of El Dorado, Kellsy and Kris Macdonald of China Spring, and Aidan and Dean Stroud of San Antonio; and nephew, William 'Bo' Whitlock of Corpus Christi.

____________________________________
From Sandy Joy ( Lee ) Hall
Helen was my mother. She and my father divorced when I was 10 months old, and she married Bob Brownlow when I was 3. I was not related to Bob, but did live with him until he and Helen divorced....I was Bob’s step-daughter. I started school in Waco when we lived in Mrs. (Florence) Brownlow’s house. When I was in the third grade Bob and Helen bought a new home out by Lake Waco and I was in school there when they divorced and we moved to Corpus Christi. Cheryl was also in school there, but Billy had not yet started school.

I remember Bob being a terrific gymnast. We would go over to the Baylor University Campus where they had some outdoor bars and rings and Bob would use those. He was very strong.

He was also very intelligent. He worked for what was then called Southwestern Bell Telephone Company. His job, as I understood it, was to travel from relay station to relay station...they were/are small brick buildings located along the highways. He would either take readings or work on equipment at each station. It was in his travels when he met the woman he married after he and Helen divorced. He was married to that woman when he got into a fight and shot and killed a man. I kind of remember if was someone with status in the Dallas area where they shooting occurred, but by that time I was in Corpus living with Martha Pearl and Johnnie Eugene Chandler, my grandparents. Helen married again after we moved to Corpus; he husband was in the Navy so they moved to Massachusetts where Helen worked at the NAS in Civil Service so I lost track of Bob at that point. I had gone to spend two weeks with him and his second wife when I was 13...this being before the shooting.

While in prison Bob also offered his body to medical science for trial medications and procedures. In fact, they even took biopsies from his body to test after he had been on some of the medications. He was a “human guinea pig”. I don’t think he had any residual health problems from those tests, however, how would we have known? He did gain an inordinate amount of weight after he got out of prison. Bob was also a very talented artist. He made me a tray with match sticks and cut marbles in a design that was extremely intricate. Billy Bob must have inherited some of that artistic talent, as he also made lovely leaded glass lamps and oil paintings. ____________________________________________________________ ________________________________________
