43. THOMAS⁷ BOYDSTUN (JOHN⁶ BOYDSTON, GEORGE⁵, DAVID⁴, WILLIAM³ BOYLSTON, THOMAS², THOMAS¹) was born 12 Dec 1801 in Greene Co, PA (or Washington Co, PA?), and died Unknown. He married HANNAH CUNNINGHAM Unknown in Lookout Mountain, TN, daughter of DAVID CUNNINGHAM. She was born 11 Aug 1805, and died Unknown.

Notes for THOMAS BOYDSTUN:
Chuck Boydstun records the first child of this couple as being Edward Boydston with no additional information except that Edward had a son named Wayne.

Additionally, he did not list a son Evan C. Boydston supplied by Melalee Camack in the mid-1980s.

In October 1998, Bobby J. Wadsworth, a descendant of Unity Boydstun and John Polk Howell, writes that David C. Boydston, child of Thomas Boydstun, appears incorrectly as "Evan C." on the 1880 US Census of Wise County, Tx, with all the children listed previously for Evan C. Boydston (by Melalee) and David C. (by Chuck Boydstun). His son-in-law, John Polk Howell, is recorded just four houses away.

Clearly, Melalee's information was based on the 1880 census, and should be disregarded, and the information previously attributed to "Evan C." should be applied to David Cunningham Boydston.

As to the family's location in Tennessee, Ray B. Womack writes October 27, 1998 that the Boydstons were located in Lookout Mountain Valley, (sometimes called Lookout Valley) rather than on Lookout Mountain, which may have been implied by "near Lookout Mt." in various references to the family. He further states that they had a large spread on the Tennessee River, which is partly owned by today's descendants. They had a ferry service on the river.

(Note: Ray Womack's mother is Mary Ann Burkhart Womack, raised in Dade County, GA, which adjoins the Tennessee state line. He was raised in Rossville, GA, which is just around the bend from Lookout Mountain Valley.)

Ray B. Womack writes again October 29, 1998, questioning the Mississippi to (Alabama?) to Tennessee migration, stating that the migration is usually westward, rather than eastward. While this is certainly a consideration, it's not impossible. The early children are said to be born in Mississippi, Unity alone in Alabama, and the rest in Tennessee. These births would support an eastward migration. I have asked Ray to check whatever census records he may have of Tennessee to see if clues may lie in that direction as to the birth location of the children. This line is supported by information in Gladys Domonoske's book, and the line of Melalee Camac is accepted by the DAR back to David Boidstone.

No Boydstuns appear in the 1820 Census Index of Mississippi.

The 1830 Census Index of Mississipi has the following information:

Boydstun, Thomas
Warr, 212
1-0-0-1-0      4-0-0-1-0

(WFT Vol. 13, pedigree #344 also shows Edward as a son of Thomas, and born 1822-1848 (WFT estimate). These dates do not correlate with the census above. This Edward is to have had a son Wayne, no further information.)

In 1840 on the Census Index, there appears the following:

Boydston, Mahala, Warren Co, p. 276
** Boydstun, Samuel, Neshoba Co, p. 128
      (Revolutionary Pensioner, age 77, head of household)
** Boydstun, Benj. W., Neshoba Co, p. 128
** Boydstun, Nathan, Neshoba Co, p. 128

On 1850 Mississippi Mortality Schedule appears:

** Boydston, B. B., age 10 b. NC d. Nov, cause unknown. Yalobusha Co.

** These are descendants of James Boydstun Sr. Samuel is son of James Sr.; Nathan and Benjamin are sons of Samuel.

I don't know who Mahala Boydston is that is found in Warren County.
