Notes:

Married:
In her annotated transcription of the Gravel Hill Cemetery, Kay Parker McCary shows that Wyatt BOYETT (1905-1906) was a son of Robert Edgar Boyett and Clarissa Conn. He is more likely a son of John Oliver Boyett and Mattie Conn. Robert Edgar and Clarissa had only one chidl that died prior to 1910, his name was Robert Goodrich. However, the 1910 census showed that Mattie Conn Boyett had two children that died prior to that date. Zenas, 1898-1900, and UNKNOWN. It is very likely that this second child was Wyatt.

Notes:

At the time of the 1930 Sabine County, TX census, his widowed father-in-law, William E. Campbell, was living with he and Mary.
