Relocationcirca 1755 He, as a family member, accompanied William Boykin II in relocating circa 1755 at Craven Co., South Carolina; from Southampton Co., VA2 
Biography* Burwell moved with his parents to Camden District, S.C., c. 1755, where on 3/26/1756, a conveyance was made to William Boykin by Ann Sinnexon, formerly Ann Duyett, of 300 acres in Fredricks Township, adjoing lands of Benjamin McKinnie, near Town Creek(Bk. R-R, p. 369). He possessed in a high degree the family qualities of enterprise and sturdy manhood. He too was militant patriot of the Revolution, every ready to respond to the call of Marion, Sumter and other leaders.

He was an eminently successful planter, and acquired a great deal of choice land, in c. 1773 he acquired 400 acres in grants; in 1776 he bought land, the Town Creek tract, to be known as Fredericksburg Town, amounting to 1050 acres, from Major Pierce Butler of Charleston, S.C. for L7300; surrounding his faather's settlement, extending from Town Creek to the lower side of Swift Creek; including the mill on latter stream, now the property of the estate of the late Lemuel Whitaker Boykin II; Hickory Ridge, Swamp, and Stoney Hill plantations. He drew indents of land for military service during the Rev. War, in which he served, 30 days of military duty as 1st Lt. of Mounted Rangers, in his borther Francis Boykin's Co; and he supplied provisions and forage for the continental troops. (History of the Boykin Family, Dr. Edward M. Boykin, 1876; Our Children's Ancestry, Sally Cantey Whitaker Allen, 1935; Royal Grants, 23:652; State Grants, 11:647)

He was elected by the District Easward of Wateree River to serve in the eighth General Assembly (1789-1790). Locally, he served in the following positions: (1774-1775) Vestryman of St. David's (Greg's Old Cheraw, p. 227); in 1795, commissioner to approve of securities offered by the sheriff of Camden District; in 1797, he wa included in a list of persons given exclusive right to open a canal from Pint Tree Creek to the town of Camden; in 1778 and 1779, he served as road commissioner (St. Daavid's journal, P.31.)3 
American Revolution*between 1775 and 1783 He served as a military officer in the American Revolutionary War between 1775 and 1783
(DAR Listing: Burwell Boykin, born 1751 in Virginia, died 17 Aug 1817 in South Carolina, married Elizabeth Whitaker, married second, Mary Whitaker, Lieutenant, South Carolina.)1,4 
Biography In 1775, Burwell Boykin was appointed on the "Committee of Observation" for St David's Parish, and took an active part in the Revolution, serving under Marion Sumter, and others, and according to his Daughter Charlotte, was a Lieutenant in his brother Francis' Company of Militia. In 1777 he was a Commissoner of roads on the east side of the Wateree. In 1790, Burwell Boykin was a Member of the State Legislature. He was a most sucessful planter, and acquired an immense area of land south of Camden. In his will he says: "On no pretext whatever... must any portion of my land be sold." A great deal of his property is still in the possession of his grandsons. In 1812 he built his house at Pleasant Hill, still the home of his descendants. His nephew, Dr. Edward M. Boykin, in his sketch, A Record of the Boykins, describes the life at Pleasant Hill; "The stables full of horses, kennels filled with hounds, rooms filled with guests." In 1774 he was a Vestryman of St. David's Parish. In 1782 he married Elizabeth Whitaker, and after her death he married her sister, Mary. She is said to have been a strikingly handsome woman, tall and slender, of a strong character and marked influence. After her husband's death, in 1817, she maintained his house at Pleasant Hill.5 
Marriage*1782 He married Elizabeth Whitaker in 1782.6 
Death of Fathercirca 1784 His father William Boykin II died circa 1784 at Camden, Camden District, South Carolina.

Marriage*4 Dec 1793 He married Mary Whitaker at South Carolina on 4 Dec 1793.8 
Biography Burwell married twice, they were both daughters of William Whitaker, a descendant of the Whitaker family of Jamestown, Va., whose member Rev. Alexander Whitaker, the Prophet, baptized Pocahontas, (painting of occasion in rotunda of U.S. Capital) and later performed her wedding ceremony; the first wife, Elizabeth Whitaker, a daughter of Catherine Wiggins Whitaker, was born 9-07-1760, died 10-02-1887 and married in 1782. The second wife, Mary Whitaker, a daughter of Mary (Lenoir ) Whitaker, was born 12-03-1776 and died 10-07-1838, and married in 1792.9 
Biography1812 In 1812 Burwell Boykin built his home "Mt. Pleasant", south of Camden, S.C., in the sand hills. This old country-house was kept by Burwell's widow Mary as a home for her own large family, and a center of hospitality for relatives and friends. The country behind it for sixtymiles was a forest of primeval pine and oak, abounding with deer and other game. The horse, horn, hound and chase held sway, rooms filled with guest; there was plenty everywhere, and enough for all. Her large family of sons living with her, made it sort of an Osbaldistone hall, save the hard drinking, that could not be, for a true high hearted woman held the reins, and a mother and sisiter's influence was over it all. Neighboring estates where occupied by relatives and friends of similar taste and prusuits:the Canteys, Chesnuts, Whitakers, Langs, McRaes, Deas, Hopkins, English and Ancrums. Those were as feudal times touched with chivalry and romance. And a deer hunt in July, or a fox-hunt at Christmas was like a Highland gathering.6 
Will* He made a will

He wrote his will a few days before his death, and Burwell divided his estate among his wife and children. Monetary bequests made by him were in excess of $38,000. a lengthy inventory of his estate lists 288 slaves and shows a property value of nearly $143,000.10 
Death*17 Aug 1817 He died at Camden, Kershaw District, South Carolina, on 17 Aug 1817.11 
Burial*circa 18 Aug 1817 His body was interred circa 18 Aug 1817 at Boykin Cemetery, Camden, Kershaw District, South Carolina. His tombstone says, "He was the father of eleven sons and seven daughters."

This small cemetery lies south of Camden and north of Boykin near the intersection of Boykin Road and Tombfield Road.

A Great Personality - Mildred Lewis Rutherford

It is not exageration to say that no person from the State of Georgia was a greater patriot to the Southland to the Confederacy, and to the state she loved with such devotion than Miss Millie Rutherford.

She was born ten years before the tragedy that fell upon the South, and grew into young womanhood when South was still shrouded in sorrow, and black despair in the days of reconstruction. This environment naturally led to an intense patriotism of the Southland, and the Cause for which the South defended.

Mildred Lewis Rutherford was born in Athens, Ga. July 16, 1850. She was the daughter of Williams Rutherford--who for thirty-five years was Professor of Mathematics in the University of Georgia--and his wife Laura B. Cobb Rutherford, a sister of the Famous Cobb brothers, General Howell, and General Thomas R.R. Cobb of Confederate service.

She graduated from Lucy Cobb Institute in 1868 and twelve years later became a member of the Faculty. From 1880 to 1908 she was either Principal or Co-Principal of the school, and from 1917 to1922 was President. She resigned to devote her time to historical research and writing. Books and pamphlets published by Miss Rutherford have been widely distributed over the country, and one of her addresses was the first address of a woman to be read in congress and published in the Congressional Record. Among her books were "The South in History and Literature;" and "Bible Question Book;" besides "English Authors;" "French Authors;" "American Authors." Publications of later years were the history, "Georgia The Thirteenth Colony," her "Scrap Book, the pamphlet "Where the South Leads and Where Georgia Leads,' and many other
historical papers.

In 1888 Miss Rutherford was elected President of the Memorial Association of Athens, and served as long as she was physically able to hold this office. For a number of years she was Historical General of the Confederate Southern Association. She served the United Daughters of the Confederacy as Historian General for five years. After her term of office she was elected Honorary President of the Organization.

In the early years of the Georgia Division U.D.C from 1901 to1903, Miss Rutherford served as President. Her service as State Historian began in 1896, and later she was elected Historian for life. For twenty-five years, up to the time of hr death, she was President of the Laura Rutherford Chapter U.D.C of Athens.

"Miss Millie" as she was affectionately called by the thousands of Lucy Cobb girls, and by other friends, was ever a devoted daughter of the South and her lectures all over the country, she endeavored to impress the truths of history, and defend the Southland from attacks of unjust criticism.

How she loved our State! With what a caressing, yet inspiring tone did she utter the words "Georgia, My Georgia." No one else could ever thrill an audience like our "Miss Millie!" Her queenly appearance, often in the costume of the Old South, her magnetic charm, her boundless enthusiasm and her Christ-like character never failed to impress the heart and soul of her hearers. She was the idol of the Confederate Veterans.

During the World War with all its activities, "Miss Georgia" as some of us called her, was a tower of strength and she was a leader to the younger generation! She was an example for everything that stood for Service, for God, for home and country!

The Southland was bowed with sorrow at her passing on August 15, 1928 after an illness of more than a year. During this illness her home "The Villa" was burned. She was taken from the burning building, and never learned of the valuable records and priceless historical papers that were lost. Her passing was a great loss to her beloved State.
