Classification: Query
Surnames: BOYD, SELLERS, KELL, NICHOLS, PINZ, REEVES, NEEL, McKOWN, WILSON, THOMPSON, COLEMAN
Can you help me to contact others researching my wife's ancestor, or his family?

William BOYD b. ca 1772 NC
m. 1st ca 1796?: (unknown; d. by 1813)
m. 2nd 25 Oct 1813 Brunswick Co., NC: Rebecca SELLERS (da. of Eldred SELLERS?)

William and both sets of his children came to Pike Co. AL in the 1820's, and then to SE Montgomery Co., AL (near Pine Level) around 1835. William wrote and recorded his will on 19 Aug 1844 in Montgomery Co., but he appears with wife Rebecca and children in the 1850 Montgomery Co. census, and his will was never probated nor his estate administered in Montgomery Co.

Rebecca and step-son Henry BOYD (Methodist minister, as his father is said to have been) along with her own BOYD children were in Coryell Co., TX (presumably then Bell Co.) by the fall of 1852. Henry BOYD was the founder of Old Liberty Church in Coryell Co. Did William BOYD die before or after the move to TX? Rebecca married secondly (Coryell Co., TX?) in 1861 to James KELL.
