Boyd + Goddard/ Putnam County, IN
I'm looking for any information regarding a connection between the Boyd family and the Goddard family in Putnam County, IN.
I'm descended from Emily Boyd and James Dudley Goddard.
I have a birthdate of Feb. 11, 1840 in Kentucky for Emily.I believe Emily's parents are John B. Boyd and Elizabeth Wade.Emily married James on April 2, 1857 in Putnam County, IN.
Emily and James had 9 children.
1.Mary M. Goddard b-June 08, 1859
2.William Washington Goddard b-June 06, 1861 ( my gg-grandfather)
3.John Wesley Goddard b-October 14, 1862
4.Dellia E. Goddard b-June 08, 1865
5.Bertha M. Goddard b-January 11, 1869
6.Elizabeth E. Goddard b-April 04, 1871
7.Edward Wilson Goddard b-March 30, 1873
8.Zillie E. Goddard b-October 08, 1879
9.Jerome D. Goddard b-June 08, 1885
James had a sister, Lucinda Malisse Goddard, who married Fountain W. Boyd on November 12, 1862 in Putnam County, IN.Is Fountain related to Emily in some way?
James & Emily's daughter, Bertha M. Goddard, married Franklin Boyd.Their marriage took place on October 21, 1892 in Coles County, IL.Was Franklin a distant cousin?
Thanks for any help you might provide.
