Boyce married Savannah L. Black before 1907. Savannah was born on 28 Jul 1887 in Sherman, Grayson County, Texas; died on 2 Sep 1947 in Abilene, Taylor County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Savannah L. Black was born on 28 Jul 1887 in Sherman, Grayson County, Texas; died on 2 Sep 1947 in Abilene, Taylor County, Texas.

Notes:

Jeanine Baber instead shows her maiden name as Kelly. Maybe the Mr. Kelley living with the family at the time of the 1930 census was her stepfather? If the original marriage license could be found, this discrepency might be resolved.

FamilySearch.org has a copy of the actual death certificate for a Savana L. Adair of Abilene on file. It shows that she was a 25 year resident of Abilene, and has her date of birth as July 28, with no year written. Her date of death is Sept. 2, 1947, and she died at her home on 521 Willow, Abilene, Taylor County, Texas. She was shown to be born in Sherman, Texas to a Mrs. Black and Sarah Hickman.

Albert Adair was born about 1836 in Alabama; and died.

Notes:

In 1860, there was a listing for a 24 year old Albert Adair, who was single and living on his own in Winston County, Alabama. Winston is in the proximity of Lawrence County. He was shown as born in Alabama. Jeanine, a third great-granddaughter, states that this is her ancestor, and that he also purchased land at the Huntsville Office on September 1, 1860. She further notes that there is a record for Albert Adair serving as a private for the Confederacy.
