JOHNSTON COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA BOYETTES

From several sources identified herein is data concerning a Johnston County, North Carolina family. All information in boldface type was obtained in the military service file and published military pension application papers.

George BOYETT b. about 1770 in Johnston Co., NC. The 1850 U.S. Census for Johnston County shows that he was 80 yrs of age and his wife, Tamsey was age 73. They were living with Larkin G. BOYETT, age 30, a farmer. George's will was written 10 Aug 1844 and probated in Johnston Co., NC during November term 1852 (Johnston Co., NC Will Book, p. 659.)

George married Tamsey O'NEAL, born 1776 of Edgecombe Co., NC. She probably died after 1850 and before 1860 as she is not listed in the 1860 census for Johnston County. According to the military records, Tamsey, was daughter of Patrick O/NEAL and Mary Rodgers or Rogers.

Their children have been indentified as Penelope5 Cally, Larry, Garry, James, Martha, Larkin G., and George. A record sent to the editory by Ann Berryman in 1985 shows that James BOYETT, born 11 Aug 1806, was listed in the "James Boyette Family Bible” but no other information was provided about this source. Note: Larking (sic) BOYETTE, b. 11 Jan 1820 and d. 12 Feb 1901 was buried in Larking Cemetery, Beulah twp., Johnston Co., NC (as shown in published cem rec--see below)

Their son, George, was listed as such in the military service record. His birth was calculated as 1808 and he lived in Johnston County, NC at the time the record was made.

Their children married as follows: Penelope m. a HICKS. Cally m. a JONES. Larry m. Piety WILLIAMSON on 12 Feb 1839 in Nash Co., NC (Marr. Bonds p. 20); Garry m. Temperance BOYKIN on 9 March 1835 in Nash Co., NC (Marr Bonds, p. 20). James m. Sidney WILLIAMSON on 1 March 1832 as recorded in this same James BOYETTE family Bible. Larkin G. m. Chloe BAGLEY between 1850 and 1858. They had eleven children. George m. Carisa or Cuzzy WATSON 25 Dec 1827 in Johnston CO., NC. Piety and Sidney WILLIAMSON were daughters of Thomas and Keziah.

Cemetery Records of Johnston County by Johnston County Genealogical Society compiled by Edna Alford Caudill, volume 1, p.42 shows that Choloe A. BOYETTE, b. 3 Apr 1836 d. 13 Mar 1896. Larkin's dates are cited above, and they are buried in the same cemetery along with several other, but later BOYETTEs.

From a compilation taken from the 1850 U.S. Census of Johnston Co., NC, it can bee seen that there were several BOYKIN families there as well as Garry BOYT, George BOYTT, Isaac BOYTT, and Larkin Ge BOYTT and families (pp. 9-10).
A family group record in the Genealogical Society of Utah Archives lists Joseph BOYET, b. 1830 in Johnston Co., NC as the son of George BOYET and Carisa or Cuzzy WATSON. Joseph was m. 11 Dec 1853 in Johnston Co., NC to Larkey BRYANT who was b. abt 1832 in Johnston Co., NC. This record was submitted by Clarence TYNDALL, 709 N. 7th East Provo, Utah some time before 4 Oct 1954. The only source of information is cited as “Johnston Co., NC Marr rec."
This relationship is established by the 1850 U.S. Census of Johnston Co., NC which shows that Joseph, age 20, was still living with his parents in 1850.

A letter from Ann Berryman notes that she received from Margaret Lee, at the Johnston County Room, (Genealogy Section) of the Jonston County Library in Smithfield items concerning the BOYETTE slave house and family. Ann also noted that George BOYEET (husband of Tamsey) and Joseph BOYETT (husband of Sally) left wills in Johnston County. Her source is cited as Will Book 1, p. 538 Johnston Co., NC Will Abstracts 1825-1870 Vol. II.

-------------------------------

Isaac BOYTT b. about 1798 in NC has been identified (no proof supplied) as the son of Joseph BOYETT. He md. (1) Elizabeth who was twenty years his minor about 1838. Whether or not it is the same, an Isaac BOYETT md. Martha WOMBLE on 23 Feb 1854 in Nash Co., NC.

-------------------------

My own research shows that Joseph BOYETT, b. abt 1770 of Johnston Co., NC served on a jury there in 1807. His deeds were proven in court in Johnston County in 1810; these deeds were for land purchased from Jonathan EVANS and~Isaac KEEN. The 1810 U.S. Census for Johnston County (p. 283) indicates that Joseph and wife had eight children at that time. Joseph and wife were both born between 1765 and 1784. Their oldest children were three girls born between 1794 and 1800. There wee also four sons and another daughter born between 1800 and 1810.
