Jonette What have you done to "serach" for James Boyd, the son, born about 1824? If he moved with the rest of the family in 1849 from Indiana to Dallas County, Iowa - and was not living at home in the 1850 Census - where might he have gone. Could he have talken up a farm some where else in Iowa? Or could he have gone to Oregan or Washington State. Where there any "gold" rushes in that part of the USA. 1850 would be too early for the California gold rush, I think?

Jonette Do you know when and where William and Mary were married? Secondly, do you know when and where their son Samuel was born in 1823. These two events MAY help in finding Mary's surname. When you know where these 2 events took place, it may be possible tosearch for a local Newspaper for those areas to see if the marriage or birth were reported. There could also be Church records available as well?

Mike --- The California Gold Rush IS a possibility. I have pasted in information from Wikipedia. It may be of interest to you to learn that the San Francisco 49ers (American) football team are named for the Gold Rush... and their colors are red and GOLD. When you come to California next April we should make a quick side trip to Sutter's Mill, in Coloma, on Highway 49. It is not far from where I live. Yours Aye, Lauren The California Gold Rush (1848–1855) began slowly on January 24, 1848, when gold was found by James W. Marshall at Sutter's Mill, in Coloma, California.[1] The first to hear confirmed information of the gold rush were the people in Oregon, Sandwich Islands (Hawaii), Mexico, Peru and Chile and they were the first to start flocking to the state in late 1848. By 1850 the U.S. California Census showed 92,600 people in California to which about 30,000 more people should be added because the Censuses of San Francisco (the largest city in California at about 20,000 then), Contra Costa county and Santa Clara County were lost and not included in the total. The population of California was over 110,000 in late 1850 not including the Californios or the California Indians (who were not counted). The women who came to California in the early years were a distinct minority of less than 10% of the population. The news of the discovery brought some 200,000 people to California by 1852 from the rest of the United States and abroad.[2] Of the 200,000, approximately half arrived by sea and half came overland on the California Trail and the Gila River trail. The gold-seekers, called "Forty-niners" (as a reference to 1849, which is the year President James Polk declared a gold rush), often faced substantial hardships on the trip. While most of the newly arrived were Americans, the Gold Rush attracted tens of thousands from Latin America, Europe, Australia, and eventually China. At first, the prospectors retrieved the gold from streams and riverbeds using simple techniques, such as panning. More sophisticated methods of gold recovery were developed and later adopted around the world. At its peak, technological advances reached a point where significant financing was required, increasing the proportion of gold companies to individual miners. Gold worth tens of billions of today's dollars was recovered, which led to great wealth for a few. However, many returned home with little more than they had started with. The effects of the Gold Rush were substantial. San Francisco grew from a small settlement of about 200 residents in 1846 to a boomtown of about 36,000 by 1852. Roads, churches, schools and other towns were built throughout California. In 1849 a state constitution was written, a governor and legislature chosen and California became a state in 1850 as part of the Compromise of 1850. New methods of transportation developed as steamships came into regular service. The first steamship, the SS California (1848), showed up on February 28, 1849. Soon steamships were carrying miners the 125 miles (201 km) up the Sacramento River to Sacramento, California. By 1869 railroads were built across the country from California to the eastern United States. Agriculture and ranching expanded throughout the state to meet the needs of the settlers. At the beginning of the Gold Rush, there was no law regarding property rights in the goldfields and a system of "staking claims" was developed. The Gold Rush also had negative effects: Native Americans were attacked and pushed off their lands and the mining has caused environmental harm. An estimated 100,000 California Indians died between 1848 and 1868 as a result of American immigration.

This message does not seem to have gone to the Boyd Net list. This James Boyd does not seem to be on the IGI list for his birth in Ireland, so where he came from in Ireland is difficult to determine. One would ASSUME from the Counties of Down, Armagh, Antrim or Londonderry but that is only a GUESS ON MY PART. So are any list members researching Boyd families in Ayr Town, Ayrshire and could any of the 9 surving children be your relative?

Mary OSWALD b. c 1811 St Quivox Ayr, Scotland m. James BOYD b. c 1806 Ireland on 4 April 1830 In St Quivox and Newton, Ayr. Mary died on 14 Feb. 1858 in Ayr and is buried in Wallacetown Cemetery, Ayr. James is listed as a cotton weaver on Mary's death record. Mary is the daughter of Andrew OSWALD b. c 1781 and Judith MONTGOMERIE b. c. 1780 St Quivox, Ayr. Mary would be the sister to my Julia. Andrew and Judith, their parents, were married on 20 Feb 1803 In Old Monkland, Lanark, Scotland.

Boyd was interested in data on the Acadians and Planters of Nova Scotia and other Maritime Provinces. As some people know, the "Expulsion of the Acadians " from Horton Landing in "Gran Pre" area of Nova Scotia happened 256 years ago. In 1755, Boat loads of Acadian men, women and children were deported and shipped off to other lands...some to England, France, and most to the original colonies in the USA. This order came from the English Government. An "Iron Deportation Cross" was erected on the site of Horton Landing where the ships departed. Later the English Government invited a group of people to come to Nova Scotia and take over the "agricultural lands" left vacant by the deported Acadians. This Group of People, who came mostly from New England States in USA were called "The PLANTERS." Later in History, the LOYALIST came to the Maritimes about 1783. There is an Acadian Museum, at Gran Pre that houses the History a film on the Acadians and A Chapel in Memorium of the Acadians is located on the grounds. There are brass plaques in the Chapel with the surnames of the deported Acadians. I don't know whether you would like to send this information to the BOYD List. On Thursday, 28 July 2011 it is this location that will be the site of a "reconciliation" ceremony that bridges 256 years of History. The Old Covenanter Church in Grand Pre is mentioned as well in an article today in ":The Chronicle Herald" the Provincial Halifax Newspaper that is featuring this story. The Headline reads "Deportation Cross to Signal harmony." GOOGLE May have more information for you.?? There are many books on the History of Acadians. In Florida, I have the Planters book and the Loyalists book written by Esther CLARK WRIGHT. I have seen the Old Convenanter Church in Wolfville..and just received a small book written about some of the people who founded and Ministered that Church. Many local people some descended from the "Planters" and Ulster Protestant families. I am in the process of reading this book which is TITLED: "Winds of Change," (The People of the Covenanter Church), by Heather Anne Davidson. Copyright: 2003. Published by: St. Andrew's United Church, Wolfville, Nova Scotia. For copies of this book: Please write: St. Andrew's United Church, 329 Main Street, Wolfville, Nova Scotia, Canada B4P 1C8. Price is about: $14.95 plus taxes I suppose.... and maybe exchange on American to Canadaian $s. ?? Any updates on the publishing of "Dean Roads.?" If you feel some of this is worthy of sending to the BOYD List go ahead. The Link for todays (27 July 2011) Newspaper article is below: <http://www.thechronicleherald.ca/NovaScotia/1255229.html> Regards, Barb Clark, Presently in Nova Scotia, Canada HBS: #1170.

Everyone, It turns out there is not much to know (at present) about Boyd's Mill, Va. Mr. Jim Heflin, Ass't Archivist Warren Heritage Society passed on the following: "According to records Boyds established a mill on the Gooney in the late 1700's. A Mr W.

Hello, While researching my William Brown McMillan b. Dec 11, 1817 Ayr/ Julia Montgomerie Oswald b. c 1821 St Quivox , Ayr line I have come across a collateral line that I am hoping will assist me in my research. Mary OSWALD b. c 1811 St Quivox Ayr, Scotland m. James BOYD b. c 1806 Ireland on 4 April 1830 In St Quivox and Newton, Ayr. Mary died on 14 Feb. 1858 in Ayr and is buried in Wallacetown Cemetery, Ayr. James is listed as a cotton weaver on Mary's death record. Mary is the daughter of Andrew OSWALD b. c 1781 and Judith MONTGOMERIE b. c. 1780 St Quivox, Ayr. Mary would be the sister to my Julia. Andrew and Judith, their parents, were married on 20 Feb 1803 In Old Monkland, Lanark, Scotland. Records show that Mary and James had 10 children: 1) Andrew b. 08 Sept 1830 St Quivox and Newton Ayr d. before 1834?? 2) James b. 26 Jan 1832 " 3) Andrew b. c 1834 (on 1841 census as 7 y/o) 4) Mary b. 20 Jan 1840 St Quivox and Newton Ayr 5) John b. 20 Feb 1837 St Quivox and Newton Ayr 6) Oswald b. 13 Oct 1842 " 7) Stewart b. c 1846 " 8) Montgomerie b. c 1848 " 9) William b. c 1851 " 10) David b. 15 April 1855 " (David's birth record shows him as the 10th child and that there are 7 boys, 1 girl --and 1 boy deceased-- at this birth and this seems to document the Andrew #2) If anyone has any information on this family I would appreciate any assistance. I am particularly interested in any information on the above OSWALD and MONTGOMERIE family or any guidance in direction to search. Thank you Pat Florida USA

Recently I was sent a query which had William Boyd and Mary Findlay, but no dates or locations. So being me, I went searching and found this family for them:- R1? William Boyd, b / /167x ( ), d / /17xx ( ), bu , m / /1702 (church, Kilmarnock, Ayrshire), Mary Findlay, dau of and (nee ) Findlay, b / /168x ( ), d / /17xx ( ), bu , and had issue:- >From the 1981 IGI for Scotland, I did find these marriage entries for this couple:- William Boyd, married Mary Finlay, 15 May 1702, Kilmarnock, Batch No. 7113713, serial # 24; William Boyd, married Mary Findlay, 18 June 1702, Kilmarnock, Batch No. A17115, serial # 3672; William Boyd, married Mary Findlay, 18 June 1702, Kilmarnock, Batch No., 7101814, serial # 13; (The first entry might be an Bann notice rather than their marriage!] When I searched for any children I found these:- 1) John Boyd, Bapt 5 Mar 1703 at Kilmarnock (Batch No., 7113220, serial # 77); 2) Jean Boyd, Born 12 July 1703 at Kilmarnock (Batch No., 7005510, serial #81); 3) William Boyd, Bapt. 25 June 1703 or 5? [more like 1705, as hard to reads], at Kilmarnock, (Batch No. 7401104, serial # 55 & Batch No. 7113220, serial # 76); 4) James Boyd, born 3 June 1705 at Kilmarnock, (Batch No., 7607539, serial # 52); 5) daughter Boyd, bapt 6 June 1707, at Kilmarnock (Batch No., 7113220, serial # 76); 6) James Boyd, born 30 Dec 1712, at Kilmarnock (Batch No., 7005510, serial # 82); 7) John Boyd, born 1 May 1715, at Kilmarnock (Batch No. 7005510, serial # 82); 8) George Boyd, b 7 Nov 1716, at Kilmarnock (Batch No., 7005510, serial # 1); 9) Eupham Boyd born 9 Oct 1718 at Kilmarnock (Batch No 7005510, serial #1 & born 19 Oct 1718, at Kilmarnock, (Batch No., 7401104, serial # 22). >From the gaps between the daughter born in 1707 and the second James Boyd born in 1712, it would appear that other children were born to this couple. Do any list members know of any other children born to William Boyd and Mary Findlay? I am looking for any descendants of these children plus the Boyd ancestors of this William Boyd. I understand that this William Boyd (the third child) who is said to have married Martha Thompson, in some quarter has been confused with a William Boyd, who married Margaret McClean in Northern Ireland and came to Manor of Manske, just north of Gettsburg, PA. While their date of birth is similar, Mike Boyd THINKS THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT TWO DIFFERENT WILLIAM BOYD FAMILIES. ? Thank you Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS ch 16/827
