Notes for ELIZABETH BOYDSTUN:
According to Domonoske, Elizabeth was born 26 Sep 1804. The 1850 U.S. Census, however, says she was born in 1815. Either is possible, although 1804 seems somewhat more likely.

Notes for ELNATHAN HOWELL CONDRAY:
I received an outline from a Boydston descendant, and failed to note on it the sender's email address. She is one of the women who married Bates descendants in this outline. My apologies to her, because her outline contains a good deal of information we did not have earlier on the descendants of Elnathan Condray and Elizabeth Boydston.

In July 2004, I received a message from Linda Sue Lincoln Eustis (RocknRollMagic@aol.com) of Little Rock, Arkansas, who said:

I am not the person you mentioned on your web site who provided information about Elizabeth Boydstun and her husband Elnathan Howell Condray. But I can provide some information about their son Benjamin Franklin Boydston Condray and his descendants.

Most of the following information is taken from Faulkner County Its Land and People, Faulkner County Historical Society, 1986, River Road Press, Conway, AR. The remaining information--some of the dates as well as the information about Irl Condray Martin and Mary Irma Forbess and their children is from my mothers research and records. The source for the narrative and list of children of Benjamin and Martha Condray was Mary Ellen Burton. The source for the list of children of Charlie and Eliza Martin was Margaret Dunaway and records in my files from my mother's research.

Benjamin Boydston Condray and Martha Jane Bates Condray moved to Faulkner County (Arkansas), near New Home community, from Lauderdale County, Tennessee, in 1873. They brought with them seven of their twelve children... Born at the home place in the New Home community were (the last five children).

All twelve children lived to be married and have children of their own.

Martha Jane Condray died at their farm home in December 1911. After is wife's death, Benjamin moved to a new home just north of Hendrix College (in Conway). He had purchased this new home only a few days prior to his wife's death.

Benjamin Condray died in December 1921 (or January 1922?). He and his wife are buried in Oak Grove Cemetery in Conway.

The article included the married names of the girls, which is the source for who they married. I wish it had also mentioned who the boys married. A related article about the Blair family provided the names of the children of Betty (Hettie) with Joe Blair. There are also articles about the Daniel Martin family (Charles' father) and Capt. William W. Martin (Charles' brother) who was instrumental in the founding and survival of Hendrix College in Conway, AR.

If this information is added to your website, please omit the information on Bob, Jean and Betty Lincoln who are still living at this time.

The information on your website was very informative, but unfortunately raises many questions, which hopefully can someday be answered through additional research. I am particularly interested in the questions surrounding David Boydston and Mahala Snow--who her parents were and how she could have died in Barren Co., KY, in 1750-52, before settlers were known to have been in that part of Kentucky. It seems that some researchers have confused the David Boydston who was born in MD and married Mahala Snow with one (or more) David Boydston(s) who were born in MA and married Mehitable Snow(s). The commentary by Lynette Kurcina was particularly interesting. Do you by any chance have an email address for her that you could forward to me? If you find out anything more about these questions, please contact me at RocknRollMagic@aol.com.
