...Note: It was first St. Matthews Parish, then Effingham County, and then in about 1793, Screven County was divided off.

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)

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?)

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.

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.

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.

It was always known, in our family, that my grand-mother, Patience Ann Boykin, was half Indian. My two older half-sisters, said that was true (they had known and lived with her). Also my uncles said the same. The Boykin family had lived in GA and after the government pushed them from their homes, into Oklahoma, nothing, I can find about them. They were of the Creek Tribe (there are Boykins now living in Oklahoma, owning oil wells). I have been working on this for a long time, so far, no soap.

...I got the info on Merideth being connected with the cattle industry, i.e. agent for RR, from my grandmother (Nina West Delleney). She also told me that her grandfather West (Meredith) died from some sort of illness, "got sick", which appears to be true, and that her grandmother, P.A., told her that Patience's grandfather (that would be great grandfather - Jim Allen) was a Tory, and that she had Indian in her family. On the Indian thing, my grandmother said that P.A. said that the Indian ancestor was four or more generations back from Patience (according to Patience), not that they were "half Indian" or anything like that which seems to have developed. In fact, I remember calculating with my grandmother that Patience was something like 1/16th or 1/32nd Indian. The Tribe was supposed to be Creek.

Campbell Information. See Aurora Campbell. Elizabeth Ashworth File.
...Robert E. BOYKIN, living in Wharton in 1889, apparently was of age to
transact legal business, so must have been born no later than 1868. His
uncle, Alexander CAMPBELL, once wrote that the Boykins' post office was
"Horton Co., Hortonsville" when he last heard. On an early list of Campbell heirs these brothers appear as "Sion & Robert BOSTICK, children of said
Mrs. Aurora by her second husband who was Sion BOYAKIN." Bostick must have been a slip of the pen.

...Sion Andrew was the brother of Sarah Caroline (Boykin) Meneley and was the Uncle of my mother, Anita Beatrice (Meneley) Brickhouse. He was known as Uncle "Pete" - probably a Nickname. When my mother knew the family in the early 1900's they lived in San Antonio, TX and he was employed to operate Horse Drawn Trolleys' or Street Cars. He died prior to my mother's marriage so the year must have been about 1905 or 1906.

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.

...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.
