It sounds so similar to my line. However, according to our records (and census records 1840 and 1850), my great great great grandfather was "Captain" Charles Boyd, born in New Jersey, married Susan Carpenter (whose brother, W.H.H. Carpenter, married Jane Todd, a cousin of Mary Todd Lincoln). Among their children were John L. "Tip" Boyd, born in Kentucky, and William Thomas "Gid" Boyd, born in Illinois in 1848. Another son, Charles U. Boyd, is my great great grandfather. "Captain" Charles Boyd is as far back as I have been able to find for sure (though we think his father's name was William).

Joe thank you for posting this data. This data will NOT be all the Boyd land owners in the 1700's. We know that the Rev Adam Boyd's elder brother John Boyd came to PA in 1712 or 1714 with quite a number of other Boyds coming in the 1720's and 1730's. However, because there were Boyds in New Jersey in the 1680's and Boyds in Maryland before 1683, I expect that we find Boyd in PA before 1712. I do not know enough about the History of the Quakers and the Boyds part in it, to know if Quaker Boyds from Ireland and or England may have come to PA before 1712. So there will still be a need to look for both early 1700 information as well as 1600's data.

Hi Lauren, All: I have done the DNA test and I "think"-without a good paper trail that I am from this family and I am at a "brick wall", therefore I would like to discuss the with others their DNA.

Mike, this is one of the books I showed you on my book shelves when you were visiting central PA last October. It is indeed valuable and it is still available at Amazon.com.both in paperback and for the Kindle. I just now checked. Charlene In a message dated 6/25/2011 8:27:35 P.M.

I am so excited that the interest in George and Isabella Boyd has surfaced again. Here is my line Gay Philips Dasher>Laddie Boyd Longino>Vance Boyd Longino>Mary Frances "Molly" Boyd>Fitzherbert Boyd>Henry Boyd>Richard Coleman Boyd>Patrick Boyd>George and Isabella Boyd. Mike had sent me a file on the family some time ago (FILE W56588HC.doc) but I could not open it. There is a wealth of information at the Troup County GA Library in LaGrange GA. It is the genealogical data and research of Mrs. Roland Shaefer Heard, Mrs. Charles Mellard Jamison and Mrs. Julius C. Moore, descendants of Henry and Susan Heard Boyd. Much of their data was used in the book Boyds of Boyd's Tank. I is all organized very clearly and I spent 4 hours gathering information - just a drop of what is there; but it is a two hour drive from my home so I spent 4 hours driving for 4 hours of research. My main interest is in Molly Boyd and her parents Fitzherbert Boyd and Sophronia "Sarah" Allison. Molly and her sisters are living in Alabama in 1860 but in 1870 are with their grandmother Martha Allison in Meriwether County, GA. I can find no death records for Fitzherbert "Herbert" of Sophronia "Sarah." It is supposed that Molly's father Herbert died during the Civil War but I have not found a record to that effect and absolutely nothing on what happened to her mother Sarah.

Hi Judy, I wish we could connect. So far I am not back to 1715. Only back to 1820 in VA. They were in Halifax Co VA yet in 1837, but not sure after that. One of his sons was 16 in 1837 and was my great great grandfather. He says he was born in Halifax Co., VA. Interesting his name was Alexander but his first son was George and his first daughter was Mary and if I go by the naming pattern that could be his mother and father. I believe his father was George Boyd who married Mary Halley in VA. However we all know how those death certificates can be confusing as when he died his son said his parents were John and Martha. But most indications are that they were his brother and sister. Don't we wish those early census told more and death certificates in the early 1800's would have been nice. My Alexander lived in Iowa but didn't seem to have any other of his family there. Let more know if we can ever connect! K.

During my recent trip to the USA in 2011, I meet four people at four separate places, during my talks and going to the three Highland Games, who were descendants of this couple. However, it was not until I was talking to a group at Nashville (which young Bob Boyd organised for me) that I meet the last of these, Clayton Boyd, who gave me a file with some 32,000 names on it. So after my talk finished Clayton, Bob and I were talking about this family. And it was decided that we should make this family A PROJECT for the House of Boyd Society. By a Project, I mean that a group of this family descendants and other HBS members devote some time to doing some organised research on this family. I know that these books are published about this family:- The Boyds of Boyds Tank, by Frank Ewell Boyd & William Taylor Boyd. (1970). 107 p. 71-126643 Captives' Mansion by S. R.. Slaymaker II, published in 1973. [title given by Brenda Cornelius ] So does anyone know if any other books or material has been published on the family of George and Isabella Boyd and their five son's families - Patrick; George, Jr.; John; James and Robert Boyd? I know that when I was in Lexington, KY, I found about 40-50 pages on the West family who are part of Patrick's family. While last year, while with Charlene Kemp at the Lancaster Co., PA Historical Library, I found a chart which Mrs. Evelyn A. Benson did while researching for material for Frank Ewell Boyd & William Taylor Boyd book. This Chart covers the first 5 generations. I have also been told Frank Ewell Boyd & William Taylor Boyd's book does contain some errors in it but not what these errors are or how many there are. It is know that the son George Boyd remained in Compass, Chester Co., PA. While Patrick and John Boyd moved to South Boston on the Dan River, Virginia and the remaining two brothers, who had also come to the Dan River later moved onto Granville County, NC These are the details that I currently have on these five sons (which I have been given over time, so may or may not be correct):- S1 Patrick Boyd, b / /1711 ( , Co. Antrim, Ireland), d 2/1/1762 (either Chester Co, Pa or Halifax Co., VA.), bu , m 25/7/1732 (St. John's Episcopal Churchyard, Compass, Lancaster Co., PA.), Rachel Grissom (or Grisham), dau of and (nee ) Grissom, bc 1715 ( ), dc / /1750 ( ), bu , and had issue:- m 2ndly m 1751-1752 ( Church, place ), Ann Douglass, of Halifax Co., VA., dau of and (nee ) Douglass, bc 1737 ( ), d / /17xx ( ), bu , and had issue:- S2 George Boyd, Jr., b / /1715 ( , Lancaster Co., Pa.), d 12/6/1763 ( ), bu St. John's Episcopal Churchyard, Compass, Lancaster Co., PA., m / /174x ( church , place), Mary Douglass, dau of and (nee ) Douglass, bc 1730 ( ), d / /17xx ( ), bu St. John's Episcopal Churchyard, Compass, Lancaster Co., PA., and had issue:- S3 John Boyd, Sr., b / /1716 ( , Lancaster Co., Pa), d / /1757 ( , Halifax Co., Va.), bu , m / /173x ( , ), Margaret Lawson, dau of and (nee ) Lawson, bc 1720 ( ), d / /17xx ( ), bu , and had issue:- [Lived: Dan River, VA ] S4 James Boyd, b / /1718 ( ), d 1772 ( ), bu , m / /173x ( , ), Mary Cochran, dau of and (nee ), bc 1720 ( ), d / /17xx ( ), bu , and had issue:- - From the book, The Boyds of Boyds Tank, by Frank Ewell Boyd & William Taylor Boyd, (1970), 107 p.

Both died in Granville County." S5 Robert Boyd, b / /1720 ( ), d / /1782 ( ), bu , m / /174x ( , ), Lucretia O'Mary, dau of and (nee ) O'Mary, bc 1720 ( ), d / /17xx ( ), d / /17xx ( ), bu , and had issue:- [Lived: ] While these are the details the 1994 IGI for the UK has on them:- Isabella Mrs BOYD (F).........

While this entry MIGHT BE George's Christening after his birth in 1691. George BOYD (M)........... C: 17 May 1692 B: 17 Apr 1974 SLAKE Ba: 7331611 84 Father: Georg BOYD Airth, Stirling, Scotland E: 6 Jun 1974 SLAKE So: 934260 Mother: Elizabeth JOHNSTOUN SP: 20 Aug 1974 SLAKE I was told last year when I visited South Boston on the Dan River, that James and Robert had their land on the Virginia and North Carolina State border and claimed that when the State Tax man came to them, that they lived in the other State. While I have part of this family outlined in Chapter 5/266 with 68 pages, it will mean that in future I most likely will have to make up new family chapters for some of the later generation's families in Volume 25 of Clan Boyd of Scotland (for Pennsylvania families); Volume 27 (for the Virginia families and Volume 28 (for North Carolina families. Or should I keep all these families - say for the grandchildren of the five sons - into one of these Volumes so that they are all remain together. So do we from a group to research this family in an organised why? Can someone else besides myself, chair or guide this group? So there are a number of questions that need to be asked on the start of this family and I will start the list of:- (i) When did George and his family come to Compass, Chester Co., PA? It was know that it was prior to 1729. (ii) What ship did they come from Ireland on? (iii) Which Port did they leave from in Ireland? (iv) Which Port did they arrive in the USA? (v) Are there any land purchaser that they made when they arrived? (vi) What was the date of birth of each of the five sons and where? [Note my current data differs from the IGI dates for their birth] (vii) Where in County Antrim, Ireland did George and his family live? [I think it was around the Ballymoney area of Antrim but I have no evidence to support this.] viii) Some people say that he came on a ship hired by Lord Archibald Douglass. (While at the Woodland Games in California, I did get an card from the Douglas tent for their Regent for North California, so I can write to him shortly to see whom might be the best person to write to in Clan Douglas society of North America.) (ix) Why did George and his family settle in Compass, Chester Co. PA and not further west like many of the other Irish of the 1720's. (x) Why did he as a Episcopalian in American and I assume as a Church of Ireland in County Antrim find that he had to migrate out of Ireland in the 1720's. The Church of Ireland were the "ruling class" in Ireland. (xi) Why did George (and assume his parents) moved from Scotland to County Antrim. Was this because of the Covenanter problems in Scotland at the end of the 1600's? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS TO BE ASKED/ANSWERED? xii) ? SO WHAT DO WE DO WHEN WE HAVE COLLECTED THIS DATA? A) Do we simply compile a family tree and put it as various family Chapters in Clan Boyd of Scotland? B) Or does someone wish take this family tree data and add other data to it to make a book on this family? C) Or can we put it on it on the clanboyd.org web site? D) any other suggestions? Thank you ? Mike Boyd Chairman Historical Committee House of Boyd Society

I appreciate Joe Williams work on all of the George Boyd lines. I've never been able to find "my" George through ancestry, but that doesn't mean I don't stop looking! I appreciate all the work you are all putting into trying to trace our Boyd's. My George and Mary were in Halifax Co, VA in 1821. I know their children but have not been able to connect them with another family. I think, but here again, its "think" they are probably related to the Alexander Boyd or are one of the George or John Boyd's on the 1798 VA tax list, but have not been able to prove it. Thanks for all your help and all the great research you provide. K. Diggingupbones

I have some correspondences somewhere around my house from in the 90's when I spoke with several people regarding this line. I will see what I can find. Off the top of my head, I believe George landed in Philadelphia.

My wife has Boyd cousins who are from George's line through his son Patrick. There are quite a few researchers of this family on Ancestry.com. Some of these researchers have the line back to a Sir Robert Boyd the Fair or Yellow Hair b. 1275 Kilmarnock and d.1333 at the battle of Halidon Hill. I don't know if any of their research is proven. There are also some early land records for a number of Boyds at the Pennsylvania Archives online.

I have 4 seperate Boyd family files from Westmoreland, Allegheny, Fayette, and Washington County, PA. I am also trying to verify more of the Scott Lee Boyd book due to the numerous questions and errors found. There are no cites as to where he obtained his information. So anything in this book I am very skeptical about. Let me know what is decided and I would be happy to share this information.
