Mike, Here is the information that I have. James D. Boyd was born around 1820. He married Senora Ann Sharp on June 26, 1842 in Ohio County, Ky. They had two children John W. Boyd and James Allen Boyd. James died in 1845 in McLean County, Ky. Senora was married three other times. She was born May 15, 1820 in Ohio County, Ky and died July 13, 1910 in Ohio County, Ky. Their son John W. was a soldier in the Union army in the Civil War. I am attaching information I have found on FindaGrave and The Boyd Family Information Center. This is all I can find on James D. Boyd. Thanks for your help.

.. I understand minor children of Union Soldiers Killed in Civil War possibly received a pension if a relative died in the Civil War and left minor children behind. If so, the child (via his or her guardian) may have received a pension. That pension may provide solid evidence of the child’s date of birth and some information about the widow. The pension records would be federal records. If a guardian was appointed, the records would have been created by a local court. Where would I find these records for my 2nd great grandfather William MOORE as there were minor children when he died? I know his name is very common. I do know he was born 1826 KY and died bef 1870. He married 28 Jun 1846 Lawrence Co.,IN Sarah Elizabeth CALLAHAN who was b 10 Sep 1827 Nicholas Co.,KY d 23 Sep 1907 Indian Creek Twp. Lawrence Co.,IN.

When President Washington authorized the first official national census in 1790, the population of the United States was approximately three million whites and their one million slaves. The average BOYD family had 5.8 members. There was a total of 309 BOYD families concentrated primarily in Pennsylvania (102), North Carolina (41), South Carolina (39), Maryland and Virginia (29 each), and New York (25), with an additional 34 families distributed in the six other new states. There were also 1,498 adult single and independent BOYDS not members of the above-mentioned households. BOYD was not one of the numberically more prominent families in the census. (Nor was BOIT, which had a total of 129 families with the largest single concentration in North Carolina (20). Both families have the exact same coat of arms, with only one basis design for that coat of arms: unescapable proof that Boit and BOYD are only spelling variations.) I do not know how may of the 730 Boyd families that I have might have been listed in this Census. So now might be a good time to start a project of asking the list if any of American cousins can go back to 1790 and make a connection to those families listed in the Census. Thank you Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS

Does anybody have any information on the Boyd family coming to Western Kentucky, specifically Ohio and McLean Counties? I have been able to go back as far as James Boyd born around 1820 who married Senora Sharp, but can't seem to find any information prior to that. Mark Boyd

I would dearly love to connect my Boyd ancestors to a family in the 1790 census, but unfortunately, I've hit a brick wall with my great-grandfather, William Fisher Boyd, who was born in Illinois, Tennessee, or Kentucky in 1848 and died in St. Louis, Missouri in 1925.  I've posted his data on this list before, but never gotten any useful responses. Bruce Boyd St. Louis, MO

This is one of three Boyd brothers how went to New Windsor, NY in the 1750’s, when their elder brother Samuel Boyd of New York City, who was a successful tailor in that City, sent funds back to Ireland for his brothers to come to New York city. This Robert Boyd, is thought to have been born in 1703. Current research, indicates that he was born in Ballyhalbert, County Down. We are not sure if this was the Townland, the Village or the Parish? Unfortunately, none of the data so far found, tell us whom his parents are or where they came from in County Down. Sometime in the 1730’s he married Jannet McAllister, most likely about 1732 or earlier, but again nothing is known of her parents or which church in or around Ballyhalbert they might have got married in. Robert Boyd is buried in the Little Britain Cemetery, NY State and it is assumed that his wife is also buried there with him. It is not known which ship they sailed on from Belfast on 6 August 1753 to New York City. There are only three children know to have been born to Robert and Jannet, which is a very small family for the period (i) Robert Boyd (1734-1804), who married first Miss Smith and secondly Eleanor Cockle, daughter of John and Ruth Cockle. It is expected that both marriages took place in New Windsor. (ii) Mary Boyd (1738-1777) married in 1762 at the (First and Second Presbyterian Church, New York City), George Harris. They had known children, Jannet, Robert, Agnes, Elinor, Jane (b 1774-1783), Elizabeth (1775-1783) and Susana (b 1776). (ii) Janet Boyd (173x-1781), who married Robert Andrews. There are no known children for Janet and Robert. If you belong to this family of Robert and Jannet I would like to hear from you please. Or if you belong to any of the spouse families that married the various Boyd, I would also like hear from you as well please. Thank you Mike Boyd Historical Committee House of Boyd Society

This book deals with a Boyd family from County Down’s Ards Peninsular from around Ballyhalbert, Glastry and Greyabbey. It deals with the family of William Boyd who was born in the County Down, near Belfast, Ireland, November 28, 1816. Six years later his parents, David and Mary (Bryson) Boyd, came to America, and settled on a farm in that part of Indiana township, which no consititutes O'Hara. I assume that this is located in Allegheny Co., PA . We know that quite a lot of Boyds in the late 1700’s and early moved to the SW Counties of PA, including Allegheny Co., PA. David Boyd’s parents were William Boyd and Ellinor McKee While William and his wife, Maria Louisa Miller had a daughter Mary Boyd who married Alfred William Duff. This book may be of use to County Down researchers who are looking at Ards Peninsular migration to the USA AND for spouse name families who may have followed the same migration as the population in the Ards Peninsular out grew its resources. I found a copy in the US Library of Congress, but I assume your local Library should be able to find a copy closer to you. >From the Boyd list. I think I have been in correspondence with one or two members of this family of William Boyd and Maria Louisa Miller. So could you please contact me Than you Mike Boyd

This will be a problem for quite a number of researchers who copied material in the 1970's and 1980's. Especailly when copy material from microfilm. microfishe. The photocopying paper of that period, I understand oxidise when light hits it and turns block after a period. When I found that out about 20 years ago, I recopied these pages through a normal photocopier, which seems to work. So are there anyone out there who can provide advise on who best to store the data that we each collect. Phyllis, you MAY BE ABLE to copy these pages with a normal copier, but use the light exposure.

List, In this age, I think the best way to treat all documents going forward is digital JPEG files of photographs. Take good quality Photos. Cameras are cheap now. Photos can be saved, passed around, and stored in multiple places. There are documents from Boyd history that we rely so much on yet none of us have ever seen that it would be so enlightening to see the page that surrounds the snippet of info we seek, to zoom in and out of words and correct past incorrect transliterations. This might also be a solution for Phyllis, Mike , and others like them (imaging if we had photographs of Mrs. Lawhon's life work for instance).
