BOYDSTUN, BOYDSTON, BOYLSTON,
OR BOYDSTONE BUILDINGS AND PLACES

There are some Boydstun/Boydston/Boylston places around the world.  Some are streets, some cemeteries, and some, well, who knows!  As people pass on their locations to me, I will post them here:

CITIES/TOWNS:

  WEST BOYLSTON / Boylston Historical Society

       Worcester County, Mass. 

  Boydston, Texas is in Gray Co. east of Amarillo on Hwy. 40

STREETS:

  My great grandfather's home in Neddleton, Arkansas had its access road named Boydstun Street.  More homes were built and Neddleton was later annexed into Jonesboro.  The street marker was finally re-painted mistakenly as Boydston Street.  His name was Charles Mortimer Boydstun.

CEMETERIES:

  Hi Charlie, I visited the Boydston Cemetery located in a field just off highway #41 near Branch, Arkansas. I didn't find any Boydstons buried there, or at least any tombstones with readable inscriptions. Their are some names of deceased who appear in some Boydston records; Hunter, Shumate, Burt. A longtime resident took me to the Cemetery and told me a few stories of the people buried there. He also said there was a Boydston schoolhouse next to the Cemetery (probably because my g-g-grandfather owned the land and gave that portion to the school and cemetery).

Somewhere in my records, I believe there is reference to a Boydston Cemetery in Tennessee. I'll check it out and let you know later.

A Boydstun Cemetery is referenced many times in the research done by Presley Smith.  It is in Rockwall, Texas.

  There is a small cemetery, known as the "Boydston Cemetery", in the area of "Boydston Road" in Chattanooga TN.

There are quite a few Boydstuns in the cemetary at Caddo, Oklahoma including our father, Wallace Joe Boydstun, and grandfather, Ellis Milton Boydstun.  We are descendants of John Hall Boydstun.

  My name is Lisa Marie Boydstun.  My dad is William Ray Boydstun Jr. of the Galesburg, IL area. I live in Iowa. Outside of Galesburg there is an Old Family Cemetery by the old family farm that is no longer but there the Cemetery sits in a wooded area and the stones have been pushed over and unsure of where people are buried.  I think that some stones have been replaced. I've been told that in the Cemetery there is a slave buried. My half sister who lives in the area said that the historical society is try to keep it a land mark. It is very hard to get to. I do have some pictures somewhere.

Hello, my name is Sharon Elaine Boydstun Hubler.  I grew up in Fort Worth, Texas and my Dad's name was Loyd William Boydstun.  I was 18 years old when my Dad died and know very little about his family.  I did know his sister, Aunt Hazel and a few uncles and cousins - barely.

Most of my Dad's Mother, Father, younger brother and nephew are  buried in Aurora Cemetery between Rhome and Decatur Texas.  On my Dad's parents tombstone their names are listed as James Boydstun and N. L. Boydstun.

MISC. PLACES/THINGS:

There is a two story commercial building in Lake Worth, Florida, called the Boydston Building.  As I  remember it was built in the 1920s.  It is(was) located around the  SW corner from the main street in the center of town.  However the last time I saw it was in the early 1960s.  Bob Boydston, San Jose,CA.  boydnet@ix.netcom.com

Someone just told me there was a Boylston Creek in North Carolina.  I will have to look up the reference.
I found a note in my files which says that Boylston Creek was in Transylvania County, NC.  I don't know if this
is a present county or an old one. - Linda Shay, LSyselt@aol.com

Did you see the movie "Blown Away"?  I loved that movie!  It took place in Boston, and I'm thinking that the scene I liked so much, where Lloyd Bridges             was strapped with explosives, was behind the Boylston Place Gateway.
