Looking at their webpage, it appears that I had visited the Shelburne Arms Library and the location matches. The photo on the Free Library webpage does not match my memory at all. Trying to do a search on their catalog has so far been useless, but I am not ready to call it quits. Patricia In a message dated 1/11/2014 5:33:16 P.M.

So time ago I was given this reference with regard to the above family. Side-Lights on Maryland History, with Sketches of Early Maryland Families, by Hester Dorsey Richardson (originally published in 1903; reprinted in 1967 by Tidewater Publishers, Cambridge, Maryland). It contains various members of the Boyd family, extracted from Vol. 2, pp.267-276 Can any of our Marylander cousin look up both versions to see what information these pages might have on John and Mary Boyd’s family please? Thank you. Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS

In some notes on the family of John Boyd (1620-1705) it has “John, Mary, and all the children were buried on their plantation.” Hear I am assuming this “plantation” is Amphill Grange in Prince George’s County, MD. Do any of our Marlander cousins know if this “plantation” still exists or if the Cemetery for Amphill Grange still exists? Thank you Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS

It also states she is from Chicago. In both publications it states that Benjamin is from Canada, gives the same birth date and occupation.

Can't read the handwriting too well. 2) 1880, Virgil, Kane ILL that also says Benjamin is from New Brunswick, Canada and that Marys mother is from New York and her father is from Scotland. I have not found any collaborating data that verifies the prescence of any Boyd families in Herkimer County NY As far as the other information, I found an immigration list for a Mary Boyd immigrating in 1834 from Ireland to New York and that she was 5 yrs old at that time. For the life of me I can't find that link again or I would post it. (I used the word 'may' because that states a definite and as I am finding out, there is a whole lot of gray area to this genealogy stuff.)

List it has just come to me. Could John Boyd have come from or near Amphill, which is a few miles south of Bedford, Bedfordshire, as he called his second property in Maryland - Amphill, Grange? Would this be a possible led where this John Boyd might have been born or came from in England before coming to the USA n 1670? Any suggestions?

Do any members of this list know where this John Boyd died in about 1705 and where he was buried? I am not sure in which County that 'Amphill Grange' might now be located or was in 1705. So can anyone inform the list please. I think this family of John Boyd was in the old DNA Group U198 and had his birth as being in England in about 1635 – if I recall the date of his birth correctly. To the best of my knowledge, this John Boyd is the first Boyd to come to Maryland in about 1683 when he received a land grant.

Patricia It is not a question of when John Boyd died in Shelburne Falls, BUT if he is the same person who is said to have come with brothers James Boyd and William Boyd from Ireland in about 1720 and outlined in Arthur S. Boyd's book of 1924. John Boyd is the most common Boyd name, so can be quite easily confused with other John Boyd's. Oh! what does the death certificate of John Boyd of Shelburne Falls tell you about him and his family - how long in USA, where born, parents, etc I am hoping that some of the male Boyds from James Boyd's family and John Boyd's family have undertaken their 67 DNA marker test and compared their results. From my limited knowledge of DNA, they should be one marker difference which I think means that they have a common father. There is an fourth son, Samuel Boyd born 1718 at Knockavaddy Rock, between Cookstown and Dungannon, County Tyrone that people claim is also part of this same family. The eldest son of Samuel, James Boyd, came to South Carolina in 1795. So hopefully male Boyd members of this family can compare their DNA test with the two New England families to confirm (or not) that they came from the same family. After the snow clears, do you wish one of our New England/New York cousins to take a nice county drive to Shelburne Falls Library?

Yes Patricia during my 2012 trip to Texas, I did visit the Library at Houston. I even made sure that I got a hotel a block or two from the Public Library in the CBD only to find that I have to go about 5 or 6 tram stops to the other Library (allow being a visitor and not knowing the paying system, I did get a free ride). I lost one days research because the main library was closed and I did not find out until the second day that I could gone to the Genealogical Library.

It would be interesting to see how far back his line can be traced. Also, I just remembered( I'm at work & don't have my pedigree charts handy) John Boyd was given a tract of 1000 acres by Lord Baltimore, He named it "Ample (or "Ampthill) Grange". It was in the area of Bowie/ Crofton, MD. I've seen the plat surveys of it at the MD Archives. It overlapped the PG - AA Co. lines.
