Tobias BOYKIN, "Byous," was the son of
• John BOYKIN Jr. (born in South Carolina to John BOYKIN Sr. & Sarah TANNER) & his second wife,
• Catherine SHEPPARD (the daughter of John Baptiste SHEPPARD, who came from North Carolina to Screven County, & his first wife, name unknown - Catharine's brother was William SHEPPARD Sr. R.S.).

Byous was the brother of:
• Flerl BOYKIN (born 1800-1801, died 1885, married 1825 to Sophia SHEPPARD, the daughter of William SHEPPARD Sr. R.S. & Martha THORN),

• Hilliard BOYKIN (died after 1820), and

In 1836, Byous married Asenith T. HODGES, "Asena," daughter of Nathaniel HODGES & Martha WHITTINGTON of Bulloch County. Asena died in 1863, and is likely buried in a family cemetery on SHEPPARD land in the Black Creek-Middle Ground community of Screven County. Byous & Asena had ten children, born 1837-1858:

Roxanna BOYKIN SHEPPARD, "Roxie" (buried in Effingham County),
William Peyton BOYKIN (buried in Chatham County),
Marshall V. BOYKIN,

In addition, when typhoid (or another disease) took both Byous' younger brother, Barton L. BOYKIN in 1858 & his wife, Sarah Emily ENECKS, in January of 1860, Byous and his other brothers took charge of their six orphaned children; one of them, Sarah Catherine BOYKIN WILLIAMS, "Mesh" (born 1847), was raised in Byous' household.
