I know this sounds like an Alabama list post, but since they came to Alabama
From South Carolina, I thought someone there might be able to help.  They
are presumed to have married in SC, since both are indicated to have been
born there and their first child was also born there.

Hello, Listers,  I need your help on this:

In the ALABAMA RECORDS, Jefferson Co., Vol. 112, pages 27-28, transcripts
From the court records about the sale of the land of Michael Robbins ,
dec'd.  On the same page is a quote from a letter from Mrs. A.G. Norman in
1956 about the parents of Michael's wife, Mary.  The quote is posted below
the following questions that I would like anwered if possible.

QUESTIONS:
1]  Does anyone know the answer to Mrs. Norman's question, "I've wondered
which BOYD he was" printed there?
2]  Does anyone know about the "biographies of the ROBBINS family in Ala
counties" of which she spoke?
3]  Or is there any of Mrs. Norman's "collection" as she called it, her
research results and/or notes available for study?
4]  Who was her aunt (dec'd before 1956) who married a descendant of Michael
Robbins ?

QUOTE FROM HER LETTER:  "I was interested in this:  JAMES BOYD, Rev sol.
born N.C. 1793, Died, Newton Co. Miss. 1853.  Had lived in Jefferson and
other Ala counties. Moved to Kemper Co, Miss. 1833.  In biographies of the
ROBBINS family in Ala., they say MICHAEL ROBBINS--in Ala. 1820--married MARY
BOYD in S.C., the daughter of a Rev Soldier, who lived in Jefferson Co Ala .
I've wondered which BOYD he was,  My aunt, who married a descendant of that
MICAHEL ROBBINS, died, and her children seem not interested in their
ancestors, but I'd like to know about them for my own collection (From Mrs.
A.G. Norman, Birmingham, Ala. Feb. 1956)" END OF QUOTE

ONE MORE QUESTION:
James and Sarah Sloan Boyd have been stated by many researchers as Mary's
parents for quite some time.  Is there ANY documentation for this asumption?

Thanks,
Melba
