- Description:
- This collection contains Boykin genealogical data and supporting material which includes many original documents relating to the military careers, education, land transactions, and business interests of the Boykin family in Jasper and Troup Counties. "Cypher books, dating from 1787, provide examples of late eighteenth and early nineteenth century school work. Deeds, wills, and other estate records, in addition to documenting the Boykin genealogy, give an indication of the lifestyle of the planter class of the mid-nineteenth century. These records provide insight into trends in agriculture, politics, education, and even fashion. Lists of both staple and luxury items are included. The financial records maintained by John T. Boykin, Sr. provide the names of many businesses operating in Jasper and Troup Counties in the 1830s and 1840s. An index of businesses and personal names is included.
