Descendants of James BOYETT Sr. - 22 May 2002 Bill William Boulineau Antigo, WI FIRST GENERATION 1. James BOYETT Sr. was born between 1745 and 1749 in Northampton Co., NC. He died on 3 March 1811 in Screven Co., GA. James moved from Wayne Co.,NC, after13 Nov 1784. to Burke Co.,GA and later to Screven Co.,GA. His household is included in the 1790 census of Burke Co. ( James Boyet of Wayne County, NC and Screven County, GA. by Richard W. Sassman). By deed dated 10 Nov. 1803 James Boyet of Screven county, GA sold 60 acres of land in Wayne county, NC to Mary Page. The witnesses were Jehu Boyet, Jesse Boyet and James Boyet. This 60 acres was a land grant to James Boyet dated 24 Oct. 1786. James Boyet is the son of Edward Boyet, Sr. who died in Wayne county between 1790 and 1800. The three witnesses to the deed were sons of Etheldred Boyet who was another son of Edward. Edward Boyet and sons Dread and Edward are on a tax list of Dobbs county (a parent county of Wayne) dated 1769. James Boyet is also listed. On 22 Oct. 1762 Richard Hazelwood was granted 200 acres in Dobbs county. He later sold it to William Waters who sold it to Edward Boyet. Somehow James. Boyet was entitled to 100 acres of this land. Probably in exchange for 100 acres granted to him 25 Oct. 1782. Anyway, on 16 Oct. 1784 Edward Boyet and James Boyet sold 100 acres of this tract to James Miles. On 14 Dec. 1784 James Miles sold this 100 acres to Peter Hinds and says that it was deeded to him by Edward Boyet and his son James Boyet. In 1786 Edward Boyet paid tax on 100 acres of land in Wayne county but no poll tax. This proves that he was over 70 years old and that he was Edward Boyet, Sr. not Edward Boyet, Jr. On 9 Jan. 1787 Edward Boyet sold the other 100 acres to John Howell. On 13 Nov. 1784 James Boyet held a "moving sale". A record of this sale was found among the Boyet family records in posession of John Robert Boyet, great-great-grandson of Etheldred. James Boyet died in Screven county, GA where administration to his estate was granted to Sabra Boyet. NC Secretary of State Land Grant Office. 22 Oct. 1762.
