Carla Blanton writes 7 February 1999 (CBlanton@webtv.net) and speculates that her great-great grandfather, Charles W. Boydston might be the Charles mentioned on the 1880 census. She has information that her ancestor was born in Illinois, which almost certainly ties him to this line of the Boydstun/Boydston family. Her information is that her Charles W. married Carrie Fry (or Frey) and had four children: Dulcie, Warren, Beryl, and Berthie/Bertha. Her great grandmother is Beryl.

Carla says that Charles W. was born in 1863 in Illinois, and died in 1930 in Fulton County, Arkansas.

She writes again 5 Mar 1999 and says that she has been touch with a great grandson of Curtis Willey who has seen the grave of Curtis W. in Monmouth, IL and gives the birth and death dates as 17 Oct 1817 - 9 Oct 1898. The man continues to say that Curtis W. was a member of the Illinois Legislature and a prosperous farmer. His obit appeared in the Monmouth newspaper, and his wife Orpha Evans was born in 1820 and died before 1854.

Additional information was given on twin sons of Curtis and Orpha, William Lemoine and James Leroy.

Notes for ORPHA AMBLER:
Bob Boydston, on GenForum (boydnet@ix.net) gives Orpha's surname as Evens.
     
Children of CURTIS BOYDSTON and ORPHA AMBLER are:
  i.   ULISSES8 BOYDSTON, b. Abt. 1842, Pennsylvania; d. Unknown.
  ii.   LUTHER BOYDSTON, b. Abt. 1845, Pennsylvania; d. Unknown.
  iii.   JAMES LEROY BOYDSTON, b. 14 Feb 1847, Harrisburg, PA (twin to William Lemoine); d. Unknown.
  Notes for JAMES LEROY BOYDSTON:
Carla Blanton writes that "Bob" who believes himself to be a great-great-great grandson of Curtis Willey Boydston, states that locals (presume in Galesburg, IL) said James Leroy Boydston was a "bad character."

132. iv.   WILLIAM LEMOINE BOYDSTON, b. 14 Feb 1847, Harrisburg, PA (twin to James Leroy); d. 14 Aug 1925, Downer's Grove, IL.
  v.   JULEAS BOYDSTON, b. Abt. 1849, Pennsylvania; d. Unknown.
  vi.   JAMES BOYDSTON, b. Abt. 1850, Greene Co, PA; d. Unknown.
     
Children of CURTIS BOYDSTON and LORETTA .. are:
  vii.   WILLIAM8 BOYDSTUN, b. Abt. 1859, Illinois; d. Unknown.
  viii.   CHARLES BOYDSTUN, b. Abt. 1864; d. Unknown.
  Notes for CHARLES BOYDSTUN:
This Charles Boydston is thought to be the ancestor of "Bob" who provides some information on Curtis Willey through Carla Blanton.

He says that his gg-grandfather, Charlie was born in IL in 1863 (Note that 1880 Census for Warren Co, IL lists Curtis Willey with a son age 16 born in IL). His gg-grandfather was a railroad conductor. (Curtis' son William and his son Edgar both worked for the railroad.)

William (son of Curtis Willey) had a son, Edgar who was born in Galesburg, IL near Warren County, IL. "Bob" has a photo of his gg-grandfather that says, "Loomis 9 Main St. Galesburg, Ills." He has three photographs and each one show him and his family very well dressed (speculating that the family of a member of the Illinois Legislature would be somewhat prominent).

"Bob's" gg-grandfather had one son named Warren Boydston.

  ix.   CLARK BOYDSTUN, b. Abt. 1867; d. Unknown.
  x.   ALFONZO BOYDSTUN, b. Abt. 1870; d. Unknown.
  xi.   BERTHA BOYDSTUN, b. Abt. 1872; d. Unknown.
  xii.   BERNICE BOYDSTUN, b. Abt. 1880, Cameron, Warren Co, IL; d. Unknown.
