Gravesite of Daniel Boyett

Submitted by: Susie Boyett Hodge

1. The first photo taken of his head stone a few minutes after we found it,April 1, 2001.

2. Photo of head stone after my husband And I reattached it to the base.
Daniel's head stone reads:Daniel Boyett born 1815 died 1860. The bottom half reads:Sleep on dear father and take thy rest, In Jesus arms forever blest.The head stone is made of solid marble and after 141 years if still in tact.Im thinking I was the first of Daniel's decendants in over 100 years to see his final resting place.

3. Photo showing possible other graves there along with GG-grandfather
Daniel.This informatation was given to me by Hubert Adams son who as a child
remembers a wooden cross marking another grave.You can tell there is a large
sunken in area,that I have circled.

4.Photo of Daniel's grave showing how NOT so far into the woods the Boyett
Field Cemetery is from Hubert Adas field.

5. Photo showing Daniel's grave and where the other graves are.

This is just a little informatation on my GG-granfather Daniel Boyett:
Daniel Boyett was born in Georgia in the year 1815.He married Talitha Cumi Underwood in Alabama in the 1840.In the year 1850 Daniel,Talitha & children,Daniel's brother Bennett J Boyett,his wife Fatama Underwood (Sister to Talitha) and family friend Timothy F. Smith ,and his wife Sarah & family left Covington Co.,Alabama and settled in the Easten Part of Winn Parish.Daniel, Bennett J.,and Timothy F. Smith were some of the first land owners of Winn Parish.
Daniel died in 1860 of Typhoid pneumonia at age 44, Bennett J died in 1862,killed by Mad Dog Smith while he was sitting on his front porch.Daniel's oldest son John William Boyett,that married Cynthia James were my G-grandparents.Their son Robert Elijah Boyett ( the deputy Sheriff killed in the line of duty in Winnfield May 1, 1926) Was my grandfather and grandson to Daniel Boyett.

I would like to thank my James Decendant cousins Roy Johnson, Jimmie Newsom, Doland Adams,& Hubert Adams for helping me in my search for my GG-grandfather Daniel Boyett grave site.
