    ...John Boykin, Sr. petitioned for land setting forth that he had been upward of seven years in the Province (of Georgia) and was desirous of obtaining land for cultivation in St. Matthew Parish to adjoin his father, Edward Boykin's land. This land was apparently already taken up as he later petitioned for 100 acres in St. Matthew Parish near to land ordered to Solomon Prothero. This was granted in Dec. 1771. In 1805, lands which had been taken in the banishment of John Boykin, Sr. of Screven County were returned to him and the banishment repealed by the Govoner of Georgia, John Milledge. This would indicate that John Boykin, Sr. was considered a Tory by the Legislature of Georgia but was reinstated to good graces after the war. John Boykin, Sr. married Sarah Tanner in the Jeruslem Church at Ebenezer, Effingham County, the Evangelical Luthern Church.

    Family Puzzlers, Dec 21, 1991 - #1209, p. 6. SCION, FLORID (FLOYD), AND
    JOHN BOYKIN WERE ALL ENUMERATED IN SCREVEN, CO. IN THE 1830 CENSUS. In 1820, Baldwin Co. had Francis, James and Samuel, Henry lived nearby in Putnam Co., and William was in Early Co.; IN SCREVEN CO., WAS LODWICK BOYCAN. HE WAS EITHER DEAD, OR MOVED BY 1830 FOR HE DOESN'T APPEAR IN THE GA CENSUS INDEX. AS EARLY AS THE ENROLLMENTS (1803-4) FOR THE 1805 LOTTERY, WE FIND LODWICK, A MARRIED MAN, LIVING IN SCREVEN CO. ALSO THERE WERE JOHN, JOHN SR., ALL MARRIED, AND WITH LODWICK REGISTERED IN SEQUENCE!
    There is a Francis in Green; a Francis, William and a widow Sarah with a minor child or children in Washington Co.; and William of Jefferson Co. (who won a prize!). All these Boykin individuals headed families containing either a wife and/or minor children in order to be entitled to 2 draws, as each was. Perhaps you need to begin with the probate and guardianship records of Screven Co., which are available at LDS Famiy History Centers about the country.

    Dear Jim ALLEN,

    Stennis kindly forwarded your correspondence, so I thought that I
    would go ahead and write this evening (we'll be out of town next week, and,
    unlike you, I will not likely look at my e-mail until we get back home).

    As I am sure that your are aware, our secondary sources list:

    (i) an elder Lodwick BOYKIN, son of John BOYKIN Sr & Sarah
    TANNER m 1772 (dau of Lodwick TANNER)(Lodwick BOYKIN reported to have been b
    c 1777, and reported to have m Ann MOCK; I do not know what became of this
    elder Lodwick BOYKIN or whether he might have m more than once, and, other
    than John BOYKIN Sr's will, I do not yet know the evidence on which much of
    this information is built), and

    (ii) a younger Lodwick BOYKIN, son of John BOYKIN Jr &
    Catherine SHEPPARD (b 5 Feb 1805 d 8 Jan 1877 buried at Middle Ground
    Baptist Church, m(1?) 26 Jan 1853 Screven Co GA m(1?) Caroline SOUTHWELL).
    Note that this younger Lodwick (ii) did not marry until age almost 48. He
    was living alone in Screven Co GA in 1850, reported as only 37 years old,
    not 45, which by census record would imply b c 1813; his household in 1850
    is near that of his parents John BOYKIN Jr age 78 & Catherine SHEPPARD age
    76.

    The 1860 Liberty Co FL census data below (presented and forwarded by two
    excellent researchers, one of whom gives us an outline of these early GA
    BOYKINs) presents us with:

    (iii) a third and youngest Lodwick BOYKIN b c 1815 GA (m
    Rebecca _____ b c 1832 AL), whose eldest child appears to be b c 1837 FL.

    This FL record makes one suspicious that the elder Lodwick BOYKIN (or a
    brother) might have fathered the third gentleman of that name in c 1815. I
    would like to investigate the FL connections of the Tory leaning elder
    BOYKINs (others, the COOKs and HODGES, and perhaps the MIZELLs, for example,
    also returned from FL after the Revolution).

    I do not know the parentage of Sion Lee BOYKIN b 29 Jan 1806. I
    know of no other researches who are pursuing this issue. The earliest
    mention of him that I know of, and perhaps the only Screven Co GA record
    that includes more than a middle initial) is a record of a gift from his
    mother, a 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 reasons 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). John BOYKIN Sr's daughter,
    Selah/Celia BOYKIN (b c 1790) must have m by 1807 m George MOCK (b c 1785).
    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 and Selah
    are known to have had five children, sons b 1808, 1811, 1815 and 1817 and a
    daughter b 1813. George MOCK & Selah BOYKIN also had a grandson named Sion
    B. MOCK b c 1842.

    The RUSHING connection is also of great interest. Sion Lee BOYKIN
    is listed as an heir of his late father-in-law, Hezekiah ANDERSON on 8 Jul
    1833, but not on 20 Sep 1833. The Screven Co GA Will of 17 Mar 1836 of Ely
    RUSHING identifies his executor, Sion Lee BOYKIN, as a brother-in-law (and
    brother Michael J. RUSHING, sisters Caroline RUSHING and Mahala RUSHING); it
    does not identify the sister, Mary Ann RUSHING BOYKIN m c 1833. I notice
    that this lady has a daughter Cela Rebecca BOYKIN b 1844.

    My own BOYKIN ancestry is through Tobias BOYKIN (b 1802 m 1836) &
    Asenith HODGES b 1814 (son of John BOYKIN Jr & Catherine SHEPPARD both of
    Screven Co GA, dau of Nathaniel HODGES & Martha WHITTINGTON both of Bulloch
    Co GA). My mother's maiden name is BOYKIN. Their marriage was listed twice
    in Returns on Estates Book D (one date probably reflects the license date).

    Although I am, as you say, in the middle of the area to do original
    research, my opportunities to do so are somewhat limited by the necessity of
    job and the joy of family. I will eventually get to the Sylvania Court
    House to see the deed and will records that I mentioned and to search for
    additional early BOYKIN records that will help resolve some of these issues
    (an additional example of such an issue is that John BOYKIN Sr's other dau
    Rhoda BOYKIN had a surname NEWTON when she m(2?) in 1823 m John R.

    Hi Stennis,Thanks much for the information on John R. Peavy. I
    surely do want to correspond with him!!! I'd like to have any info he has.
    He's
    right in the middle of the area where he can do original research. Don't
    let this return address throw you. I retreived your message with my son's
    Yahoo and am sending from his address in Stevenville, TX. According to
    William Joseph Boykin, Sion's son's pension record, they came to TX in 1847.
    The first census was the 1850 Gonzales, "on the St. Marks (San Marcos)
    River. I'll get into more depth when I get home next Tuesday, okay?
    Thanks again!!Jim
    >> Jim,I have started correspondence with John R. Peavy, Rincon,
    GA. He had lost Sion in 1840. I sent him Sion's descendants that you were
    kind enough to share with me. Peavy appears to be a sincere and thorough
    researcher, and if you have no objections I will give him your Email address
    in case he needs some more info that you might be able to provide. John
    and other Screven Co. GA. researchers are uncertain of Sion's parentage,
    although they lean toward the assumption that Sion was an illegitimate son
    of Lodwick's sister, Sela Boykin. I don't think there is enough proof of
    such that it would threaten our assertion that Sion was a child of Lodwick.
    Of course I will continue to investigate.When did Scion first
    appear in records in TX? He was not in the 1840 Screven Co., GA. Census.
    You might have sent me that info, but I can't find it right now. He might
    have stopped in Alabama or somewhere for a year or two on the way to Texas.

    I would assume this was his second wife. He would have been born about
    1815. Anyone know who his parents may have been?Sharon

    Hi Sharon - I checked my BOYKIN files and found a Lodowick and his wife Ann
    MOCK - the end of that particular line as far as my files. Might be a
    descendant of that one. Does anyone have information on this Lodowick and
    Ann MOCK BOYKIN?? The other Lodowick and John Lodowick are accounted for.
