American Revolution Maj., S.C. Mil.
married Catherine Whitaker about 1780 in SC;
DAR Listing: "Francis Boykin, born circa 1755 in North Carolina, died 18 Aug 1821 in Georgia, married Catherine Whitaker, Major, South Carolina"
Francis served as a lieutenant in the First Regiment in June 1775 and was Captain in the Rangers under Capt. Eli Kershaw during 1775/1776. He was a major in the Second Dragoons under Col. Myddleton and Gen. Sumter during 1782.
The Georgia Journal, August 21, 1821: Died in Baldwin County at William Rutherford's in the 67th year of his age, Major Francis Boykin on the 18th instant [18 Aug 1821]. His life furnished an example of that steadfastness of habit which should characterize the Christian walk of all professors of religion. In self-denial particularly, he gave evidence of his having soared superior to the natural man and whilst most of the world are engaged in defending their actions with the coloring of words and correcting the misconceptions of others respecting themselves, he hath remained the same silent and cross-bearing personage, seemingly well convinced that error corrects itself, while merit gains its own reward.
His children were:
Dr. Samuel Boykin (1786 - 29 Apr 1848)
Elizabeth S. Boykin (Nov 1788 - 20 Jul 1837)
James William Boykin (c 1792 - 1846)
Mary Boykin

Some letters of gravestone missing, but some of the impressions remain readable.
