In the Report of the State Librarian of Pennsylvania, 1901, page 296, it listed these publications: 1) Pennsylvania Genealogies; Chiefly Scotch-Irish and German. By William Henry Egle, M. D. Harrisburg, 1886. 8vo Reprinted, 1896. pp 798. (I am not sure if “8vo” means that this is in 8 volumes or not?) 2) Notes and Queries: Historical Biographical and Genealogical. Edited by William Henry Egle, M. D., Harrisburg, 4to. Original Series, 1879, pp 166. First Series, 1881, pp 208. Second Series, 1883, pp 342. Third Series, 1887, Volume I, pp 588; 1891 Volume II , pp 552; Volume III, pp 565. Reprint, Harrisburg, 1894-1896. Beyound all others the most important publication relating to the Scotch-Irish in America. It also lists:- 3) Colonial Records of Pennsylvania. Edited by Samuel Hazard, Harrisburg, 1838-1853. 8vo 16 volumes. 4) General Index to the Colonial Records and Pennsylvania Archives. Philadelphia, 1860. 8vo pp vi653. Also listed were Pennsylvania Archives, Ist series, 2nd series and 3rd series which contained 59 Volumes comprise the documentary history of Pennsylvania, colonial, provincial, Indian wars, Revolution period, War of 1812-14, early marriages, board of property, etc and form a record indispensable to the genealogical and historian. I think during my visit in 2010 to Pennsylvania I looked at one volume of Pennsylvania Genealogies; Chiefly Scotch-Irish and German and copied some pages. Has anyone looked at other volumes of this work and do they contain any Boyds. Has any member read these other Pennsylvania books and do they contain any Boyd records/data? If so, could you advise which publications has Boyd listed please. Thank you Mike Boyd Historical Committee House of Boyd Society

I read thru this book online... https://archive.org/details/colonialrevoluti41jord. There is no index or Table of Contents, so you have to review it page by page. There are no Boyds in this volume, but perhaps in other Volumes of the series?

During my three hour visit to the DAR Library in Washington D. C. in June 2013, I found a book titled Report of the State Librarian of Pennsylvania, 1901. This is the first time that I have seen such a publication listing publications. This edition would appear to have a general State section and sections by individual counties. I am not sure if this is publication was done each year or not. So do members know if this “Report” was produced in other years or not? I would assume that even if this Report was only proceed in the one year, it would be well worth members getting a copy to find out what publications are available got your part of Pennsylvania. Do members know if other State Librarians also make a “Report” of publication for their State? Thank you Mike Boyd Historical Committee House of Boyd Society

All those publications are in PA public and university libraries. Egle's Pennsylvania Genealogies is now online and includes Boyds. I have not found Notes and Queries to consistently have accurate information on families. I don't think those volumes have been digitized. Notes and Queries may be the precursor to electronic genealogy websites :-). People sent genealogical inquiries and family trees to Egle that may or may not have been accurate. Egle tried to respond. Note that Mr. Egle is the same person in several of these publications so his information is unlikely to differ from one publication to another. Colonial Records (Hazard) also can be accessed online (and may be the same as the First Series of the PA archives). PA Archives is an enormous, valuable collection. It is important to figure out which volume is worthwhile for the researcher. The Third Series includes an index to the first 16 volumes and is helpful. The First series contains colonial records edited by Hazard. The Second and Third series edited by Egle have military rosters and county information including marriages. Boyds will be found in these two volumes and probably in the 5th and 6th series which also include military records, marriages. The 7th series is an index to the 6th series. The 4th series is papers of PA Governors and of limited interest I assume. Note that in the indexes you may find a list of surnames such as Boyd with no first names. It helps to know what you are trying to find--e.g. the Rev. War rosters for Chester County or Philadelphia marriages. Boyd researchers should check the PA Historical and Museum Commission website to find digitized records including military rosters and land records.

I have read the article in today's Scotsman. http://www.scotsman.com/lifestyle/heritage/battle-lines-drawn-over-bannockburn-row-1-3300359 Is this what has prompted your comments this morning? We have good communication with the Bannockburn Live folks. I trust that this event is still going to be worthy of travel. Should we hear of cancellation -- which I doubt! -- we will spread the word.

Dear John: We have received Official News that the Monday portion of the original event has been struck.

When I was searching my PC for "Londongrove" I found this information by Mr Irish form about a decade ago "Literary Era Jan. 1898 Boyd Family John Boyd produced a certificate dated 2 mo, 10, 1736, for himself, wife Jane and children, from Ballynacree Monthly Meeting of Friends near Ballymoney, Antrim county, Province of Ulster, Ireland, to New Garden Monthly Meeting, Chester county, Pa 12 mo, 26, 1736-7. They became members of Sadsbury Meeting. At Warrington Monthly Meeting, York county, Pa 11 mo, 9, 1765, a certificate dated 8 mo, 21, 1765, from Sadsbury Monthly Meeting was recieved for John Boyd and wife. John Boyd, of Warrington township, York county made his will Aug. 8, 1770 and it was probated Oct 31, 1777. He mentions seven Children, 1.William, who receives 5 pounds 2.Samuel, who receives 5 pounds 3.George, who receives 30 pounds 4. Sarah Leech, who receives 30 pounds 5.Ann Bready, who receives 5 shillings 6.Elizabeth Stedham, who receives 1 shilling 7. Jane McMillan, who receives 30 pounds, and 2 pounds to buy her gown, together with my bed and furniture. (Q 313) He also mentions his granddaughter, Jane Marsh, to whom he leaves 30 shillings. Jane Boyd was disowned by Sadsbury Monthly Meeting in 1765, for a disorderly marriage with Gravenor Marsh son of Henry. Was she a daughter of William or Samuel Boyd? 1. William Boyd, then unmarried, produced a certificate, dated 6 mo, 18, 1733, "from men's meeting held in Antrim, in ye North of Ireland." to New Garden Meeting, Pa., 6 mo, 27, 1737. He became a member of Sadsbury Meeting. He married Hannah Minshall, widow, in 9 mo, or 10 mo, 1737. He is complained of 6 mo, 27, 1749 by Sadsbury Meeting for marriage out by a priest. He produces an acknowledgment, 11 mo, 6, 1752. At Sadsbury Monthly Meeting 3 mo, 4, 1754 a certificate is signed for William Boyd and Daughter to Warrington Monthly Meeting. This certificate was received by Warrington, 4 mo, 20, 1754. At Warrington 5 mo, 8. 1762 a certificate was requested for William and three children to Hopewell Monthly Meeting, Va. It was signed 1 mo, 8, 1763. 2. Samuel Boyd produced a certificate dated 5 mo, 8, 1741 from Grange Monthly Meeting, Ireland, to Sadsbury Monthly Meeting, Pa., 10 mo, 6, 1742. He is reported married out of priest, 5 mo, 4, 1743, and is disowned 8 mo, 3, 1743. 3. George Boyd produced a certificate dated 10 mo, 22,1760, from Warrington Monthly Meeting, and seems to have been a member of Newberry Meeting. George Boyd of Warrington township, York county, made his will Sept. 17, 1796, and it was probated Oct. 22, 1796. His executors were Thomas Leech and John McMillan. He Mentions his wife Catherine and children, James, Ann, Jane, and Rachel. Of these children Ann was received into membership by Warrington Monthly Meeting, 1 mo, 7, 1792 She was complained of 5 mo, 12, 1798 for marriage out to ---- Jones. She sent acknowledgment. From her cousin James McMillian's Bible we learn that Ann Jones, daughter of George and Catherine Boyd died Sept. 9, 1830 4. Sarah Boyd married 2 mo, 17, 1739 at Sadsbury Meeting, Thomas Leech, son of Richard and Sarah (Cox). They removed to Warrington, York county, Pa. 7. Jane Boyd was born, as her son James McMillan records in his Bible, in 1728; died 5 mo, 12, 1782; buried at Warrington Friends' graveyard. She was complained of 7 mo, 5, 1748, by Sadsbury Monthly Meeting for marriage out to Joseph Green. She produced acknowledgment 12 mo, 3, 1753. Jane Green, widow of Joseph Green, of Sadsbury, married 5 mo, 4,1756 at Sadsbury Meeting, John McMillian, of Warrington township, York county, son of Thomas and Deborah (Marsh). He was born 1728, in Antrim county, Ireland, died 9 mo, 17, 1791; buried beside his first wife Jane. (See LITERARY ERA, McMillian Family, Vol. III.,No. 7, p 212, Vol IV. No. 11, p 376). By her first husband, Joseph Green, Jane Boyd , had two children -(1) Joseph and (2) John. These two were recieved into membership by Warrington Monthly Meeting 8 mo, 11, 1764. (1) Joseph Green, of Warrington, son of Joseph, deceased, m. 12 mo, 16, 1773, at Warrington, Lydia Holland daughter of Henry and Lydia (Fell) of same place. " You will notice that William Boyd, the son of John Boyd and Jane Bell had a "certificate, dated 6 mo, 18, 1733" . So the QUESTION: Did Heber G Gearhart in the 1930's "MIX UP" this William Boyd, with the William Boyd (1709-1767), who was brother to Thomas Boyd (1713-1782) and father of George and Col Matthew Boyd, whom he said located in New Garden Township, Chester Co., PA? And this family of three brother and three daughters including Mrs Dobbins and Mrs Curry, did they also settle in New Garden Township or some other town in Chester Co., PA. Are there any "records" for the 1730's that might help sort out which William Boyd that is being talked about. It still will be worth using the DNA testing for the John Boyd and Jane Bell family with the three brothers form County Armagh to se if they might be connected.

Her land is next to the land of John Boyd (reported brother of Rev. Adam Boyd).

I have her death but not birthdate. 2) MRS. Curry apparently around Philadelphia somewhere. 2) MAYBE John of Northampton and Rev. Adam of Octararo. Maybe because John and Adam are born in the 1690's.

I was recently given a website that outlined the descendants of Nicholas Boyd, the eldest child Cooper Boyd and Elizabeth Bracken. Cooper Boyd is the third child of John Boyd (1731-1799) and Agnes Cooper of Lancaster Co, PA. This John is the fifth child of Samuel Boyd (1689-1770) who married Margaret Campbell, most likely in County Antrim, Ireland, and came to America in 1736. While Samuel, was the first child of John Boyd (1656-17xx) and Miss Moore, daughter of James Moore, Sr. of Ireland. It is assumed that Samuel lived in County Antrim and he is said to be the son of Captain Adam Boyd of Ireland, whose origins are uncertain but a number of sources say he came to Ireland with the Scottish Army in the 1640’s. This has yet to be proved. He might also have come with Cromwell’s Army or been a “Captain” with one of the local Irish forces of this period defending the Protestant’s of Ireland. I do not known the origins of “James Moore, Sr. of Ireland”, but I do know that there was a Moore family in the area between Ballymoney and Dunlace in northern County Antrim. This family stems from the Mure’s of Rowallen in Ayrshire who had married a Margaret Boyd of Bonshaw in 1494. So this Moore family of Ireland, may have maintain a link between the Boyds and Moores which the family of James Moore might be able to This Captain Adam Boyd, is also claimed to be the great grandfather of Rev Adam Boyd of Upper Octorara, Chester County, PA, who was born in 1692 in Ballymoney, County Antrim. With Rev Adam Boyd being the fourth Adam Boyd in a line. It is said that Cooper Boyd was born in Drumore Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania on 18 December 1758. (From memory Drumore township is next to or near Chestnut Level, Lancaster County, PA.). He died on 12 August 1832 in Harford County, Maryland, but the town is not given. His wife, Elizabeth Bracken, was born 11 February 1764 in Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware and died on 3 November 1840 in Hartford County, Maryland. (Again no town given.) Children of Elizabeth Bracken and Cooper Boyd are: 1. Nicholas Boyd was born 13 MAR 1783 in Harford County, Maryland, and died 2 JAN 1846 in Marietta, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He married Rachel Weeks 2 SEP 1818 in Harford County, Maryland. She was born 23 AUG 1793 in Harford County, Maryland, and died 25 JUN 1848 in Street, Harford County, Maryland. 2. John Boyd was born ABT 1784, and died BEF 1848. He married ????? Ailes. 3. Susannah Boyd was born ABT 1785, and died UNKNOWN. She married Robert Smith in about 1800, while he was born about 1780. 4. Joseph Boyd was born 6 AUG 1789, and died ABT 1865. He married Mary Heiner who was born about 1790. 5. Cooper S. Boyd, Sr., was born 5 JAN 1792 in Harford County, Maryland, and died 30 MAY 1850 in Harford County, Maryland. He married Milcah Taylor on 22 Feb. 1821 in Harford County, Maryland. She was born 13 FEB 1802 in Maryland, and died 25 DEC 1887 in Charleston, Kanawha County, West Virginia. 6. Alice Boyd, was born ABT 1794, and died UNKNOWN. She married Samuel Ailes. He was born NOV 1777 in Probably Pennsylvania, and died AFT 14 JAN 1834 in Muskingum County, Ohio. (It is not given if Samuel was a brother to John Boyd’s wife (2). 7. Betsey Boyd was born 16 APR 1794. (it is not clear if she married or died young.) 8. Sarah Boyd, was born ABT 1800, and died BEF 1848 in Harford County, Maryland. She married Richard Ward, Jr. on 23 Jan. 1820. He died before 1840 Harford County, Maryland. 9. Margaret Jane Eleanor (Janellen) Boyd, was born 6 JUL 1805 in Harford County, Maryland, and died 16 SEP 1875 in Mahaska County, Iowa. She married James E. Fisher 22 Oct. 1821 in York County, Pennsylvania, son of Thomas Fisher. He was born ABT 1795 in Harford County, Maryland, and died 14 MAY 1852 in Kenton County, Kentucky. The only town given for these children is “Street, Harford County, Maryland” for the son Nicholas Boyd. So I am uncertain if this might be the town/area that Cooper Boyd and Elizabeth Bracken might have lived in, but it would be a starting point searching for Land, Census, Vital and other records for this family. The other area to search would be the Harford County histories. Are any of these children part of your family tree? If so, I would like to hear from you please, so I can add your known family to the family Chapter for Captain Adam Boyd of Ireland. I would also like to hear form anyone who might be able to add to the origins of any of the spouse families, whom seem to carry a number of good Ayrshire names. Thank you Mike Boyd Historical Committee House of Boyd Society

Friends After you know the location/s of your direct Boyd family tree, especially in the USA and perhaps also in Canada, you need to ask you local Library if there are any local histories for the County and the town that your family is said to have lived at. This will allow you to "see what was happening", to "ask question" and to find other sources of information about your family Mike Boyd Historical Committee, hBS -----Original Message----- From: Colin Brooks Sent: Saturday, February 08, 2014 9:05 AM To: boyd Subject: Re: [BOYD] John Cowen Boyd (1793-1849) & Hannah Montgomery of Boyd's Station Danville, Northumberland County, PA and Miss Helen Wallace's book Oops, my bad.

Mike and others, As a general rule America was settled east to west and north to south. However, if you look at a large map, the Eastern coast of America slopes severly inward (westward). So much so that Maine was always called the "Eastward" lands from Massachusetts, and yet modern people would call it north of Massachusetts. We are truly idiots but that's another tangent.... Anyway, people ALWAYS settled the pathways (made by Indians, animals and traders) and waterways. The most significant is seen by our Scotch-Irish who (Boone and Crockett etc.) traveled NORTH from North Carolina into Tennessee; Kentucky and Pennsylvania into Ohio. So the migration would make a lot of common sense. Easier to travel up the Susquehanna River to Shamokin; Sunbury; Danville then cross over mountains into western PA. AND the land was very cheap. So that is the story for both John Boyd's in Northumberland County (original)- one settled Shamokin and the other settled Danville.
