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.

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.
