BOYETT FAMILIES OF CLAY AND RANDOLPH COUNTIES, GEORGIA

Two BOYT/BOYTE/BOYETTE families were early settlers of the border area of Clay and Randolph counties, Georgia.

The oldest men of these families were Joseph Josiah and James W., born in 1795 and 1811/5, respectively. Descendants state that they were uncle and nephew, and a county history states that James' son and Joseph Josiah's daughter (who married) were second cousins.1 Joseph Josiah is reported to be brother to Thomas James BOYETT, born 1783/4 Wayne Co., NC, married 17 Oct 1809 in Duplin Co., NC to Elizabeth ROGERS, and died in 1867 in Lowndes Co., AL.

There also may be a familial connection between Joseph Josiah, James W., and the Robert BOYETT/BOYTT who was recorded in the 1820 U.S. Census of Wilkinson County. Joseph Josiah is first recorded in Georgia in the Laurens County 1830 U.S. Census. The ages and sex of family members in this census for Josiah fit known information. Laurens County, Georgia, was organized from Wilkinson,Montgomery, and Washington counties in 1807. In 1820, Robert BOYETT was residing in Laurens County, and in 1820, Robert of Wilkinson County, drew land in the lottery designated as in Bowings military district, lot 140, section 28, in Early County.

Joseph Josiah BOYETT was born 25 Dec 1795 in North Carolina; he married about 1820 probably in Washington or Laurens County, Georgia to Gatsy PEACOCK, who was born 27 Oct 1803/4/6 in Washington Co., GA. Gatsy died 27 Feb 1891 in Dothan, Houston Co., AL at the home of her daughter, Jane Elizabeth (BOYETT) ADAMS BOYETT; Gatsy is bur at Beulah Baptist Church Cemetery, Dothan, Houston Co., AL; Joseph Josiah died 8 Oct 1867 and his estate was probated in Randolph County.

Their names, birth, marriage, and death dates were recorded in the family Bible. He was recorded in the 1830 Laurens County, GA U.S. Census and had relocated in Randolph County before 1840 when the federal census was enumerated that year. Most of the family belonged to the Baptist church.

When his estate was probated, the county court appointed Gatsy as the administrix of his estate. She relinquished her dower in the property and took only a child's portion, probably to enable her off-spring to inherit a larger portion. The farm had to be sold to pay the debts, although some money was left at the final accounting.

Only six of the known ten children were living at the time Josiah's estate was settled. Most received The relationship is explained by Bunelle Hall Gresham, a descendant as follows: "Joseph Josiah and James were brothers. Josiah John was the son of James W. Boyett, the grandson of James, the g.nephew of Josiah, therefore the second cousin of his 2nd wife, Jane E. Boyett Adams. Information from Gertrude J. Stephens. See also Newsletter Vol. II, Number 2, p. 7, in this compilation of Thomas James’ twelve children, there is no known son who married a Parisade.
