   "Butts County Taxable, 1828, contribued by Robert S. Davis,
Jr.  The  following tax record was found in the Georgia State
Papers,  Manuscripts Division,  William R.  Perkins Library,  Duke University and is reporduced here with permission.  Although the
document  was  previously  unidentified,   a  check  of  militia commissions at the Georgia Department of Archives and History reveals that the record is from Butts County and dates from 1828.
It is a list of persons owning taxes, by militia district. The earliest  Butts  County tax digest on microfilm at the Georgia Archives is for 1831 and no others are at the Archives, original or on microfilm, until 1873. Given below are the names and amounts owned by the taxables on the 1828 records.

"Tax Defaulters, 1804-1806"

"William  Bowling,  Receiver  of  Taxes  for  Burke  County, published in the Augusta Chronicle on February 23, 1805, "A List of Defaulters in Burke County, for the Year 1804.”  He published the list of those who had not paid their taxes for 1805 in the same newspaper on January 11, 1806, while the 1806 list appeared in the February 7, 1807 issue of the Chronicle.
There are 418 names in these three lists.   Of these, 187 (around 45 percent) canb e found in the 1805 Land Lottery list for Burke Co.   Thus, there were 231 persons owning property in Burke County whose names do not appear in the Land Lottery list for 1805.
The county was divided into districts under a ‘Captain.’
These 'Captains' in general were the same for the 3 years, but there were some changes as will be noticed in Table 1. To save space, each dsitrict (sic) has been given a number, in the order that they appeared in the Chronicle. It is not known exactly what area each district included. The names of the property owners who owned back taxes, are listed in Table 2."

From Table 1 the following captains and years pertain to the
four entries for BOYTs in the county:
1804 Captain Thompson for #8.  1805 Captain Thompson for #23
1806 Captain Thompson for #37 and Captain Gorgon for #39

From Table 2 the following entries were noted for men who
are BOYT/BOYETTS:
BOYD (sic), Seth   #8 (Captain Thompson - 1804)
BOYD (sic), Reuben #39 (Captain Gorgon -1806)
BOYT, Benjamin     #23 (Captain Thompson -1805)
BOYT, Benjamin     #37 (Captain Thompson - 1806)

---------------------------------------

REUBEN BOYT/BOYETT

The Burke County, Georgia unpaid tax list for 1806 includes an entry for Reuben BOYT/BOYD.   He was recorded in Gorgon's District; that same year Benjamin BOYT/BOYD was also among the delinquent taxpayers, but his residence was given as in Captain Thompson's District.  To be liable for taxes, one must have been of legal age, otherwise the guardian is responsible.  Therefore it can be assumed that Reuben was born by 1785 and Benjamin was born at least by 1784.   Whether or not they were brothers is unknown at this time.

BOYT, Hull (this may be Hugh) b. 1822 MS . . . living with the family in 1880 were Rebecca (b. 1861 MS) and Ira (b. 1872 MS) MARTIN.  Ira was Lillian TYNE's father.

Sr. and Martha LANGSTON; m. 15 Aug 1821 in Marion Co., MS

1876 Lincoln Co., MS, bur: Busby Cem, Lincoln Co., MS;
Shadrack Jr. d. 2 Nov 1885, Lincoln Co., MS; bur. Busby Cem,
Lincoln Co., MS.  A grant was given to "Shadrick BOYTE" of
Lawrence Co., MS by the General Land Office of the United
States under an Act of Congress dated 24 April 1820.  This
transaction sold Shadrack the SW 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of
Section 32 in township 6 of Range 8 East "in the District of
Lands subject to sale at Washington, Mississippi containing
forty acres.”:  It was dated 30 Nov 1859 and signed by James
Buchanan, president of the United States.

Editor's note: A deed recorded in Wayne Co., NC, Deed Book 3, page 80, shows that on 10 Jan 1786 William LANGSTON deeded “to Shadrick BOYT for 50 pounds specie" 280 acres on the north side of the Neuse River.  The land was part of a patent for 640 acres granted to John LANGSTON on 13 Oct 1783 and this land “fell to William LANGSTON by heirship." Since other land records for the same period and general location sold for much higher sums (20 pounds specie for 15 acres and 150 pounds specie for 101 acres [pages 78 and 81 respectively)), it can be assumed that William LANGSTON gave this land to Shadrack Sr.  for familial reasons.  It is probable that William was the father of Shadrick's wife.

14.    Butts Co. Ga. Deed pages 206, 207 & 208 in Jan. & Feb. 1826 shows sale of land formerly in Monroe County, to Hugh M. Ector by William W. Boyett

15. Possibly there is a connection between the Reuben Boyett (Orphan) on the
1832 Cherokee Land Lottery of Ga. while he resided in Henry County Ga.1 and
William W. Boyett of Jasper & Monroe Counties & Butt. & Henry Counties or E. V. Boyett who wittnessed a Bill Of Sale between William W. Boyett and George Morris in Henry Co. Ga 14 July 1828, or other Boyett or Boyd who lived in the vicinity at the same time. The vicinity of William W. Boyett’s land was near the waters of Little Sandy Creek (originally in Monroe Co. Ga.) near where John Jasperd
families were also about the same time. There was and still is a Sandy Creek Primitive Baptist Church below Jackson Ga., now in Butts Co. Ga. that was
attended by several Heard families in the 1820. & 1830s. Possibly the Reuben Boyt/Boyd on 1790, 1800,1810, & 1820 S. C. Censuses was Uncle or Grandfather of the Reuben Boyat/Boyett Killed in Chambers Co. Ala. cotton press Accident/Explosion in 1858. Possibly there is a connection between Elizabeth Boyet of Houston Co. Ga.  Widow who drew land  in Troup Co. Ga. in 1827 Ga. Land Lottery

16. Also, there was a George Boyd on 1830 Henry Co. Ga. Census. Possibly he was a Boyt, Boyett, Boyet.

17. Possibly Reuben Boyat/Boyett who was Killed in 1858 Cotton press Explosion
in Chambers Co. Ala. was the same Reuben who was Orphan from Henry Co. Ga. on the
1832 Cherokee Land Lottery & possibly he travelled to Troup Co. Ga. area with a
widowed mother or possibly he travelled to Troup Co. Ga. with the John Jasper Heard
Family or along with them with another family.

18.  There were other Boyetts in Troup and Heard Counties also. Hardy Boyett was
in Cowetta Co. Ga. & so was William W. Boyett in 1830.. Hardy/Harvy Boyett was
also on 1840 & I believe 1850 Troup Co. Ga. Census. Franklin Boyett was on the
1840 Heard Co. Ga. Census, Possibly a connection.

19. Index to Marriage Book 1821-1835-1841, Jasper Co. Ga., page 42 lists Irvin Boyett Marriage to Julia Ann /Julyann Munday, married in Monroe Co. Ga. by James Wilson
J. P. on 2 Feb 1823 & Recorded in the Jasper Co. Ga. Marriage Book in April 1823.  
COULD THIS POSSIBLY BE REUBEN BOYAT/BOYTT's  FATHER?  Reuben Boyat/Boyett named his second son ERVIN NEWTON BOYETT. There were also Newton families around Butts  Henry & or Monroe Counties Ga.  Irvin Boyett's Will was administered by his brother  Edward Boyett in Scriven Co. Ga. 5/1/1824. Was this same Irvin Boyett who Married  Julia Ann Mundy/Munday in 1823 in Monroe Co. Ga., Recorded in Jasper Co. Ga.? I so, what ever happened  to Julia Ann?

20. John Jasper Heard's wife was Amanda Malvina Munday; their daughter, Louisa
Amanda Heard married Reuben Boyat/Boyett Nov 18, 1849 Troup be Ga. Possibly
Amanda Malvina and Julia Ann Nundy/Munday were closely related. The Heards were
around Butts, Jasper & Monroe Counties Ga.

21. Some living descendants of George W. Boyette, son of Reuben & Louisa Amanda Heard Boyat/Boyett m. 18 Nov. 1849, refer to discussions by George W. Boyette about his Great Uncle Reuben Boyett. George W. Boyette was only 2 years old when his father Reuben was killed in Chambers Co. Ala. Oct. 1858;. possibly the were around their Great Uncle Reuben in Troup or Heard Co. Ga. where they lived after their father's and mother's death 1858 & 1862, until about 1866/1867 when they went to Palo Alto Miss. near West Point. He would not have remembered his Father Reuben.

He might have heard discussions about his father or possibly there really was a Great Uncle Reuben that he could remember & was around.

22.    It is not known if John Jasper Heard, Father of Louisa Amanda Heard and Father in Law of Reuben Boyat still lived in Chambers Co. Ala. when Reuben was Killed in Cotton Press accident in 1858.   John Jasper Heard and rest of his family did live in Chambers Co.  Ala. according to 1850 U. S. Census house
NO. 120 Reuben and Louisa Amanda Heard Boyat/Boyett lived in house No.219 in 280 military district, Chambers Co. Ala. according to the same Census, U. S. 1850. Since John Jasper Heard & Family lived at Franklin in Heard Co. Ga on 1860 U. S. Census, it is probable that Louisa Amanda Heard Boyat/Boyett lived with or near them  at Franklin Ga between 1858 & 1860 when Louisa Amanda re-married - m. James M. Pittman Jan.28, 1860. She had three children John Jasper Boyett, Ervin Newton, and George Washington; one (Reuben Charles had died in infancy about the same the same time  his father was killed in Oct. 1858. It is also likely that Louisa Amanda’s kids Ervin Newton & George Washington returned to Franklin, Heard Co. Ga. to live with John Jasper Heard & family after their mother’s and brother’s (Louisa Amanda (Heard/
Boyat/Boyett) Pittman & John Jasper Boyat/Boyett’s) deaths in 1862 of Typhoid fever in Hogansville Ga., Troup Co. The 1860 Heard Co. Ga. Census showed John Jasper Heard & family living in house No. 40, page 6.

23. Since there was an Irvin Boyett who Harried Julia Ann Munday/Mundy in Monroe County Ga. recorded in Jasper Co. and a William W. Boyett also lived there before or at the time of Irvin Boyett's marriage, possibly there is a connection. My father was named Sidney Ervin Boyett & his father was named Ervin Newton Boyett, seemingly too close to the above Irvin to be coincidental.

24.    Another possibility is that since Georgia Bible Record by Jeannette Holland Austin, page 271 contains Family of Reuben Mundy b. 4/11/17?? (Bible of Andrew J. Mundy of Fayette Co. Ga., owner John Ellis Mundy, which lists a Julia Ann Mundy & a Mandy Malvina Mundy; possibly Julia Ann is the Mundy who married Irvin Boyett on 2 Feb. 1823 in Monroe Co. Ga., Recorded in.Jasper Co. and Mandy Malvina Mundy is the Munay who married John Jasper Heard (her name was Amanda Malvina Munday/Mundy recorded as born 5-9-1806. She was called Mandy too. Possibly Reuben Boyat/ Boyett was Irvin's son and possibly this Reuben Boyett who was listed in Henry Co Ga as an Orphan on the 1832 Cherokee land lottery and 1828 Butts Co. Taxibles, Ga was named Reuben after Reuben Mundy b. 4/11/1777  rather than after a Reuben Boyet.   If Reuben Boyat/Boyett had parent kin to Reuben Mundy (Possibly Reuben Boyat/BOYET Grandfather) maybe that is where he got the name Reuben. That would have made him kin to Louisa Amanda Heard (cousin) but that happened often.

25. A list of all Boyts, Boyetts, and Boyds who died in late and mid 1820s & early 1830s could possibly provide a clue as to who his father was and left him an Orphan. Possibly Church records are available in Jasper, Monroe, Butts, Henry or other nearby Counties might provide clues. Possibly Orphans records exist some where for Reuben upon his fathers death and in Chambers Co. Alafor his child at his death in 1858. Possibly some News Papers, if there were any at that time contain news of Reuben’s death in Chambers Co. Ala Cotton Press Accident, or an Obituary giving family information, and likewise on Reuben’s Father's death. Possibly Louisa Amanda (Heard) Boyat was given the traditional Year's support by the Court. If an estate, it might be wider the Administrator's name instead of the deceased or Widows. Orphans or Guardianship Records for Reuben and also his children may be under the Guardian's name rather than theirs.
