Hi Cousins, My brickwall remains as ever, Ann Boyd who married William Finnie in Ardrossan in 1745. William was living in Kilmarnock at the time of his marriage to Ann. So far, I have found out that the Finnies were actually from Constablewood near Largs; that William was operating an ironmongery in Kilmarnock up to 1772-73, before it passed on to his son, Archibald. I have also found records for Grizel Finnie, who was living at Constablewood when she married William Taylor (1726, maybe...haven't got the record in front of me), but who was married a second time to William Gilchrist in Kilmarnock, in 1747. I'm wondering if she was looking after William's three childen after his first wife, Mary Wilson died, until he married Ann. I believe that Ann may have been married previously, to Hugh Morris of Saltcoats. Names were given in by Ann Boyd & Hugh Morris in 1743, at Ardrossan, although unlike the other entries on the page, there was no later "married" entered. I have been unable to locate a record of any children being born to them. And according to Archibald's birth certificate, Ann had been married before. So, there you have it...I still have no idea as to the parents of both William & Ann. Cheers, all. Lynne. :))

Steven I assume that he came from the Coplin area of Missouri - so what County was that in in 1884? Secondly, have you got his death certificate form 1959 in Pueblo Colorado. That should give his parents - if the informat know that data. Thirdly, do you know when he was married and to whom. If you know his spouse's Surname, you may like to also join that mailing list to see if the spouses family might know his parents name, etc Missouri seems to have been quite popular with Boyd families, so as you get each bit of new infromation on your Joseph tell the list what you have found.

Colin I THINK THAT THE QUOTE that John Boyd married and then came to Maryland in 1670 is wrong BECAUSE of the date of the children's marriages in early 1700's. Even if we assume that they were 25 years old when they married, this would place their birth at about 1680. So we have a 10 year gap between when he is said to have come and when the first children are thought to have been born. So does this mean that "some" children were born to this couple during the 1670's that are not recorded or that they were married in the late 1670's in Maryland and not in England as suggested. It would be good to know - like Chris Smithson suggested - if any original information is available in Maryland about this family in the 1600's. While it does not say, I would assume that this John Boyd rose to be a ship's Captain. So was he coming to America before 1670 and was he still a ship's Captain during the 1670's after he arrived in Maryland. And the other question is - was he a part of the various Boyds form Irvine, Ayrshire who seem to have been ships Captains. These I ASSUME were younger sons of some of the Ayrshire Cadet Branches. This date of arrival would suggest that he was one of the first Boyds in Maryland. Hopefully, some of the members of this family can search in the Maryland Records to provide more data.

No surprise. While looking for my Boyd line I came across yet another Boyd. I found this in the Fayette County, Pennsylvania book: FAYETTE COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, Genealogical and Personal History John W. Jordan, ed.. Genealogical and Personal History of Fayette County Pennsylvania. Vol. I-II. New York, USA: Lewis Historical Publishing Company, 1912. This branch of the Boyd family is of Irish birth and parentage. The Boyds were originally from Scotland , but settled in the north of Ireland several generatious ago. The first of this line of whom we have record was David Boyd , born in County Down, Ireland , about 1837 . He was an only child, received a good education in the public schools, and has always followed farming as an occupation. He yet resides near the scene of birth fairly well preserved for a man of his years. He is a Liberal in politics, and a communicant of the Presbyterian church. He married Anna McBurney , born in County Down, Ireland , died in 1889 , aged sixty years. Children: Archibald , died in Ireland aged twenty-two years; married a Miss Irben , Mary . William , of whom further. Margaret , David , John , Samuel . Robert , Elien , Jane , died in infancy. All of these living children reside in their native land except William , he being the only one who emigrated to the United States . (II) William , son of David and Anna (McBurney) Boyd , was born in County Down, Ireland , August 2, 1866 . He attended the public schools of the town and grew up a farmer. At the age of twenty, in 1886 , he came to the United States , finding his way to western Pennsylvania . He entered the employ of the Carnegie Steel Company at Larimer's Station, Westmoreland county , remaining one year, then was transferred to Douglass Station on the Youghiogheny river , remaining twelve years. In the early years after coming to Pennsylvania , he attended the night schools, adding greatly to his educational acquirement. About the year 1900 he entered the service of the H. C. Frick Coke Company, continuing until 1911 . In November, 1911 , he was elected justice of the peace of New Salem, Menallen township , which office now engages his time. He was the first of the justices elected under the new law making the term one of six years instead of four. He has served as school director and was assessor of district No. 3, Menallen township , four years, expiring in 1911 . He is a Republican in politics and has always been an active party worker. He is an elder of the Presbyterian church, his wife and oldest children also being members of that church. He is a man of high character and holds the unvarying respect of his community. He married, October 6, 1897 , Mary Weigel , born in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh, North Side) , daughter of Conrad Weigel , born in Germany , came to the United States , engaged in mercantile business in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania , where he died at the age of sixty-nine years. His wife Mary survives him, and with her youngest daughter, Kate , continues the business established by her husband, Louisa , the oldest daughter, married Thomas Manning , and resides at Robbin's Station, Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania ; Mary was the second of the three daughters of Conrad Weigel . Children of Mr. and Mrs. Boyd : 1. Gladys , born July 21, 1897 ; Winfield Conrad , July 23, 1899 ; William , November 5, 1901 ; Joseph David , April 10, 1905 ; James Samuel , December 10, 1910 . The family home is at New Salem .

Why isn't Levi Boyd's family listed in the 1860 Federal Census Record when they are found in the 1840, 1850 census records and the sons, Perry and Levi J., were in (Lillard's) Tennessee Mounted Infantry Regiment? Levi Boyd was living in Monroe County as can be seen from a court case: No.766)(75) Filed 26 Sep 1862 F.M. Avans vs Levi Boyd. While Avans was in Va. in Confederate service Boyd persuaded Avan's wife (his daughter) to remove to his home where she stayed 2 mos. and at that time Boyd sold Avan's wagon. Any suggestions are welcomed. Dianna

Steve, I just now typed your Joseph Carl Boyd into a _www.ancestry.com_ (http://www.ancestry.com) search page and it automatically changed the name to Carl Joseph Boyd and this fellow had the identical dates and places you have given in your letter. We all know very well to go to original sources, but sometimes you can get a lead on where to look next by using such sites. There are pictures and even a photo of his grave site in Pueblo, CO. Was his wife Josephine and he had a daughter named Madeleine who died in 2002? That's what several of the submitted trees say. So many of the submitted trees however are just copies of what someone else had said before. I see that with my own Boyds all the time. I don't own any stock in the company I used.........just trying to give you another idea to try. Charlene Boyd Kemp PA State Historian HBS In a message dated 5/30/2011 7:16:37 P.M.

Now she needs to dig farther and probably make a trip to the National Archives for Naturalization records. However, she knows a bit more today than she did yesterday.

According to the book Eldred E. Brown, His American Ancestors Descendants and siblings and Thirty-Tow allied Families, Edwin H. Brown, 1985, page 57, it says:- "Mary Boyd was married to her first husband, Ishamael Bateman in 1704. They had one son and three daughters. Her first husband died about 1712. Mary died in 1735. William Goe (1-1) was a native of Scotland who migrated to America in 1702 and settled in Prince George's County, Maryland near what was later called Upper Marlboro. He was married on 25 Jan. 1725 to Mary Boyd Bateman by Rev. Jacob Henderson. Her parents were John Boyd and Mary ----- , both born in England. William and Mary Goe had two children: 2-1 Margaret, b 1727/8/19; m. before 1761 Richard Hutton 2-2 William Jr., William Goe was a warden of the St. Barnabas Episcopal Church in Queen Anne Parish, Leeland, Maryland in 1735 & 1736. William Goe, Jr., (2-2) was born in Queen Anne Parish 1729/8/4. He married 1754/11/28, Dorcas Turner, daughter of John Turner, Jr. and Elizabeth Brashears Turner. They had fourteen children. The 8th child: 3-8 Philip, b 1767/3/24; d 1808 m. Rebecca Boone, daughter of the famous Daniel Boone. William Goe, Sr., with his family migrated from Maryland to an area near present day Brownsville, Fayette County, Pennsylvania in about 1773." I know that Daniel Boone has been removed from the Quaker Church, but I am not sure when. So why this link between a Quaker family and a Episcopalian family? I know that a number of Boyd families also lived in Fayette Co., PA. So MIGHT some of Mary Boyd Bateman Goe's Boyd relative's have followed them to Fayette Co., PA? Do any of our list members who have ancestors from Fayette Co., PA know where their families came from? I think that this Mary Boyd's father John Boyd is one of the Boyd families in the DNA Group A list of Boyd families Michelle Ligon, did you know about this connection to Daniel Boone's family and can you get any descendants of Philip Goe and Rebecca Boone? While Chris Smithson of MD, can you get any data on the families from the previous Email and the Ishamel Bateman, Richard Hutton and Margaret Goe. Thank you Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS

According to the book Eldred E. Brown, His American Ancestors Descendants and siblings and Thirty-Tow allied Families, Edwin H. Brown, 1985, page 18, it says:- "John Boyd (1-1) was born in England in 1620. From the age of ten until he was forty, he was a sailor. He tehn married Mary ------ and in 1670 came to Maryland. In 1684 he settled on sixthy acres known as Boyd's Choice, which he patented from the Proprietary Government. This land was located on the Seven River, above Annapolis, in Anne Arundel County. In 1694 he removed to an estate of one thousand acres, just above the tidewater of the Patuxent River. This tract of land was granted to John Boyd by Charles, Third Lord Baltimore, on 16 September 1703, and was called Amphill Grange. This land was located in the new county of Prince George's, nine miles north of the county seat of Upper Marlboro. He operated the plantion, and an inn, at the old Queen Annie's Town nearby. John Boyd was a prominent man. He served on the Grand Jury, and is mentioned several times in the published Court records. John and Mary Boyd had six children: 2-1 Charles, m. Elizabeth Ray. 2-2 John, m. 1703/3/28 Elinor Fitz-Redmond. 2-3 Abraham, m. 1705/10/16 Mary Gray. 2-4 Isaac, m. 1727/3/18 Sussanah Noble. 2-5 Mary, m. first Ishmael Bateman (& had a son and 3 daughters), m. second William Goe and had a son and dau. 2-6 Martha, m. Thomas Wells." While this data does not say where John Boyd married Mary, it WOULD APPEAR to have been in Maryland and not in England, from the date of the children's own marriage. So can this marriage be found in Maryland to tell us his wife's surname? It would appear that this family were Episcopalian, as their son John married on 28 March 1706 at All Hallows Parish Church in Anne Arundel County, MD. It would appear that the children could have been born in early 1680's. Thank you Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS (Folder10AE # 20B)

Yes, the Pilgrims (and associated groups) came to the New World in New England for religious freedom. Also, those coming into Virginia early and later to other colonies on the southern part of the Eastern Seaboard came more for an opportunity to have a better life. Of course, both groups have overlapping ideals for their new living style. But the Puritans were much more fixated on the religious freedom, and later settlers in the Appalachia etc were more interested in having a place to live and work. So, most protestants in the southern areas were happy to go to any church that resembled the Congregation/Presbyterian/Methodist etc. Even as late as the 1920s my family just chose whatever was around. Most denominations did not have churches in every little town. But, the movement west from New England had largely Congregational for some time, and it was stronger there than anywhere else. Most immigrants didn't go to the Church of England except in the very early days and then only in the states not committed to "religious freedom" such as the mid-Atlantic and Southern states. That's my opinion from reading about this for ages and from having ancestors in both groups.

It clearly says "He tehn married Mary ------ and in 1670 came to Maryland." So he married in England and came to Maryland. Secondly, your making assumptions about the religion again based on English standards. IF he actually lived in England, then obviously the Anglican church was practically the sole option. However, when he came to America, he only had two- Catholic and Anglican. Presbyterian ministries, much less churchs, didn't even exist in America at this time. So where else was he gonna get married, get children baptized etc.? In the 1600's and 1700's in America, Scotch-Irish made their "church" choice based on only two factors. Where they lived and what churches where available where they lived. You could say a man was Quaker if he lived in Philadelphia and attended a Quaker church. You can NOT say the same thing about the same man if he lived in Chambersburg at the exact same time. There were NO Quaker establishments in that area. He went to the nearest church that had a theology as close to his own personal beliefs as possible. And this lasted for almost 200 years or more in America. Case in point- my Daniel Boyd was an elder of the Londonderry, NH Presbyterian church in 1860s. When he pioneered to Ocheyedan, Iowa he became an Elder in the 1st Methodist church of Ocheyedan. So which was he? If you read his scripture writings to his children he was clearly Presbyterian in theology BUT he had no other choice, and attending the "assembly of believers" is a Biblical mandate. So he not only went to that church, he became a leader in that church. In the early part of our countries religious history, you can define a man clearly as one-sided only when it comes to the "Catholic or not?" question. Almost all other religions are protestant and "appropriate" places to attend when you desperately want to be with a body of believers.

Case in point- my Daniel Boyd was an elder of the Londonderry, NH Presbyterian church in 1860s. When he pioneered to Ocheyedan, Iowa he became an Elder in the 1st Methodist church of Ocheyedan. So which was he? If you read his scripture writings to his children he was clearly Presbyterian in theology BUT he had no other choice, and attending the "assembly of believers" is a Biblical mandate. So he not only went to that church, he became a leader in that church. In the early part of our countries religious history, you can define a man clearly as one-sided only when it comes to the "Catholic or not?" question. Almost all other religions are protestant and "appropriate" places to attend when you desperately want to be with a body of believers.

This land was located in the new county of Prince George's, nine miles north of the county seat of Upper Marlboro. He operated the plantion, and an inn, at the old Queen Annie's Town nearby. John Boyd was a prominent man. He served on the Grand Jury, and is mentioned several times in the published Court records.

Trying to locate information on Thomas Boyd of Lancaster County, PA. Along with some of his descendants they are buried at the Chestnut Level Presbyterian Church Cemetery. The early records of the church have not survived. Thank you, Chris Clan Genealogist -- Christopher T.

With regards to the John and Mary Boyd in Maryland in the 1670's and 1680's has anyone documented this couple based from original records and not from someone compiled family history?
