175. SARAH ANN⁶ BOYDSTON (JACOB⁵, NANCY⁴ FAUBION, JACOB³, JACOB², HANS JOSEPH¹) was born Abt. 1829 in Cocke County, Tennessee, and died Abt. 1854 in Platte County, Missouri. She married JARED FLEMING August 8, 1845 in Platte County, Missouri ³⁰⁶⁴. He was born Abt. 1821 in Tennessee, and died Unknown.

Notes for SARAH ANN BOYDSTON:
I am basing presumption that this Sarah Boydston is the daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth Boydston on the following evidence.

1. the 1830 census for Jacob Boydston, Cocke County, Tennessee, lists him and his wife with one child, daughter, in the age range of 0-5.
2. the 1840 census for Jacob Boydston, Platte County, Missouri, lists Jacob and his wife with a daughter in the age range of 10-15.
3. the 1850 census lists no daughter, but living on the next farm to Jacob and Elizabeth in pettis Township is the household of Jared Fleming, age 29, born in Tennessee, and his wife Sarah, age 21, born in Tennessee, their baby, Mary E., age 9/12 born in Missouri, and martha J. Potter, age 16 born in Alabama.

Notes for JARED FLEMING:
1860 - U. S. Census, Pettis Township, Platte County, Missouri
Family #1001
Fleming, Jared, age 29, born North Carolina
Indiana, age 26, born Iowa
Amos, age 11, born Missouri
Mary, age 5, born Missouri
Lucy, age 5, born Missouri
Isaac, age 1, born Missouri

If we look at Sarah Ann Boydston's notes and Jared Botdston's, we see Jared could not have been 29 years of age in 1850 and again in 1860. We also see he has a new wife,. The child Lucy may not be Jared's child do to its age. But Isaac may very well be Jared's child through second marriage.

176. NATHANIEL⁶ BOYDSTON (JACOB⁵, NANCY⁴ FAUBION, JACOB³, JACOB², HANS JOSEPH¹)³⁰⁶⁵ was born Abt. 1830 in Cocke County, Tennessee ³⁰⁶⁶, and died October 1860 in Linn County, Kansas. He married REBECCA JANE BROWN December 13, 1853 in Platte County, Missouri ³⁰⁶⁷, daughter of JAMES BROWN and JANE CAMPBELL. She was born Abt. 1833, and died September 24, 1920 in South of Eureka, Greenwood County, Kansas.

Notes for NATHANIEL BOYDSTON:
Note for Ruth Walton:

Nathaniel is Living at home in 1850, age 20, born Tennessee

1860 - U. S. Census, Platte County, Missouri
Lee Township, Farley P.O., page 829, Dwelling #1036, Family #1023
Nathan Boydston, age 28, farmer, real estate $1,000, Personl Property $100, born Tennessee
Rebecca, age 25, born Missouri
Elizabeth J., age 5, born Missouri
Ana stacia, age4, born Missouri
Jas. M., age 1, born Missouri

Even though the 1860 census says that all three children were bon in Missouri, Anatacia was born in Birdville, Tarrant County, Texas. Her father, N. Boydston, appears on the Tarrant County tax rolls in 1856, owning no land or taxable property. Birdville is the present day location of Halton City, an incorporated suburb of Fort Worth, Texas.

Nathaniel and wife moved from Missouri to Tarrant County, Texas for about a year, with at least the wife and children returning to Missouri. On October 12, 1857, Rebecca filed for a petition of divorce from Nathaniel. In Circuit Court recorded November 24, 1857, her attorney reported that Nathaniel was not a resident of Missouri and the process papers could not be served. Rebecca filed for divorce based on grounds of "such crual and barberous treatment toward her as to render her condition intolerable." Notices were published in the Platte City Atlas four consecutive weeks in liew of service on Nathaniel. On February 23, 1858, both Rebecca and Nathaniel were in court, having returned to Platte City and hired an attorney to answer Rebecca's charges. On September 6, 1858, the attorneys returned to court to have the divorce petition dismissed.

Nevertheless, Rebecca and Nathaniel reunited and their third child, James Marion, was born in Platte County, Missouri on July 31, 1859.

A few months later, in December 1859, her father's estate having been settled, Rebecca and Nathaniel took her portion and bought a 73 acre farm in southern Lee Township, just east of the present day town of Waldon, and right on the Missouri River.

Nathaniel planted 10 acres of corn on their new farm that spring, and they soon accumulated four head of cattle, fourteen pigs and two horses. By late summer, however, they were on the move again. They set out for Linn. County, Kansas. One of their grandchildren (Laura Boydston Briggs, who was Ruth Walton's Aunt) remembered hearing that they sent the slaves back home because they were teasing the children and "causing to much trouble." Barely haad they arrived in Linn County when real trouble arrived. Family stories say that Nathaniel was shot by claim jumpers or border ruffians soon after they arrived in Kansas. Aunt Laura's version of the story was that some men rode into the yard one evenibg and "called Boydston to the door." As he stood in the doorway wih the lamplight behind him, one of the men, named Stewart shot him and then they rode away. According to this story, his brother heard the shooter brag that he would drive the widow out and take over the claim, so the brother went to the cabin and helped Rebecca care for Nathaniel. Aunt Laura thought they took Nathaniel to Fort Scott and that he lived a number of days before dying.

Another relative, Marvin French, heard a somewhat different version of the event. In his story, some men rode up the very evening Nathaniel and Rebecca arrived at their claim and asked what they were doing. When he replied that they were getting ready to strike camp, one of the men shot him and then they rode away. According to Marvin's version, Nathaniel lived three days before he died.

Rebecca filed the first of the probate recors for Nathaniel's estate in Platte County, November 1, 1860. This would seem to indicate that he died sometime in mid to late October.
