Mike, Cant understand why you think they married in a Maryland. 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. My two cents, Colin Brooks The 1718 Project In a message dated 5/30/2011 1:42:35 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, mikejboyd@bigpond.com writes: 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: message

Mike, Thank you for the Chief Boyd plug. He was a Sioux Chief and fought at The Battle of the Little Bighorn, with Chiefs' Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, (i.e. Custer's Last Stand). The Native Americans won that round but were dispersed into Canada where Chief John Boyd stayed until re-entering the USA with amnesty into north-eastern Montana around the Poplar Bluff and Wolfe Point areas. I met his grand daughter who had married a Gros Vant from the Fort Belcourt Reservation and was then living on the Blackfeet Reservation in Browning, MT. I was the Surgeon for the Blackfeet Nation at that time (1993-2006). Prior to that I was working on the Rosebud Sioux Reservation, in south central South Dakota (1991-93). It was here that I came across a sizable Boyd family. They were fairly prosperous cattle ranchers, as were several other "anglocised" surnamed Sioux families i.e., Williams, Johnson etc. These family surnames apparently originated also from the Texas Cattle Drover source. I have recently contaced one great-grandchild of Chief John Boyd and will pursue this source. Any help or suggestion is welcome. Thank You. David R Boyd, MDCM -----Original Message----- From: boyd-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:boyd-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Mike Boyd Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2011 9:03 PM To: BOYD-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [BOYD] Chief John Boyd - Souox (?) of North Dokota Before our meeting at Las Vagas, David Boyd of Maryland, was telling me about Chief John Boyd - I think he said he was a "Souox (?)" Indian Chief from North Dakota - and his descendants who were on an Indian Reservation in North Dakota. He said these descendants were blue eyed and not like the normal "Indians" on the reservation. He thought that during the 1800's when cattle were driven from Texas up North to help feed the various Indian Tribes that perhaps a Mr Boyd might stayed after the cattle drive and married an Indian lady. So if any of our Texas Cousin have an John Boyd missing this might be were he finished up. I also discussed with him that this John Boyd might have been an Indian Agent who finished up living with the Indians on this reservation. Or there could have been some other reason for this Chief to be called John Boyd. So are there any members of this list from Dakota, whom may be able to add any information to this small puzzle? David, can you provide a better outline of this story please. Thank you.

Dear Cousins: Where and when are you stuck on your Boyd genealogy? What is your brick wall? What records have you researched? Which records have you still not explored? (or can't find!) When was the last time you reviewed the details of what you do have? Are you certain you have checked everything possible? I am participating in a discussion on Facebook and in asking similar questions, I have been able to help Vicki Beaver find the immigration date of her brick wall ancestor (1910 US Census) and pointed her to the Ship he arrived on and several other Boyds who came over on the same ship at the same time. 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. Share the details of your Boyd brick wall and perhaps the hundreds of eyes viewing the messages might have a fresh perspective and be able to nudge you along to the next level. Be sure to change the subject line on your message so it matches your text. Yours Aye, Lauren Boyd List Admin

Origin and History of the Name of Boyd, with Biographies of all the Most Noted Persons of that Name and an account of the origins of the Surnames and Forenames, Together with over Five Hundred Christian Names of Men and Women, American Publishing Association, 1905. Have any members of the list read this book? What does it contain? Or does anyone have a copy of this publication? Thank you Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS

I will be going to the AGM at Woodlands, CA in April 2012. In August, this year, I will pick three regions where I might go to after the AGM, so I can go to any Highland Games and also talk to people about our Boyd history for the last 900 years. I will only be able to one of these regions in 2012.

I'm old but not that old!! My PC said the first message on Mike was undeliverable. Oh well, Mike deserves the  praise. Bob

Hey List, All the Boyds is Boyddom should give big Standing O to Mike for all he has and is doing for the Clan. It was a pleasure to meet him on his way by looking for our ancesters. Surely no sir name list has a more dedicated and effective participant. Blessings, Bob

Not to confuse anyone..... The event is in Woodland -- no "s". It is near Sacramento. Within 100 miles of San Francisco. Woodlands -- with an "s" is a community near Southern California. "Locals" have also added the "s", so Mike is not alone in that!

Has any member of this list found an source for modern Clan Boyd tartan for little girl's hair or for other purposes where ribbon might be used? If so, could you let the list now please. If there is no source, is there any thing that could be done with some supplier to make such ribbon!! Thank you Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS

Queries for Dean Road, the quarterly magazine of the House of Boyd Society, is available to both members and non-members (although Michelle Ligon our Treasurer, I am sure would like to see all who send in entries who are members of HBS). Your queries can take two forms - your direct Boyd line or the first and second known generation with Parents and children type of query. With both methods, you need to put full names, known dates and known locations and who your original Boyd married and the same for the children if known. Or if you do not know these details, put your best guess and say this is based on your own estimate and not based on data. If you are unsure about your formating of your query, you could send your draft to Chris Smithson Email ctsmithson@gmail.com or genealogist@clanboyd.org Members of this list may have other stories they may wish to send to Editor Kevin McLachlan (Email editor@clanboyd.org) - having their own family re-union this year; information about missing branches of their tree; events that the family were involved in the past; grandma's favourite bit of cooking, etc. Or simply were you can find Boyd products. If you send a photo, I think Kevin would like it to be about half a meg in size or smaller. So by sending in your query, is another way to find your "cousins" - 3rd, 4th, 5th etc - whom you may not have found by other search methods. I look forward to seeing these queries in future Dean Roads. Thank you Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS

Mike: I have been seeking this for years. We'd have to have it made. Boyd is not as "popular" as Stewart Royal, or Black Watch. They don't make ribbon in the Boyd tartan.

When I left home on 14 April 2011, to go to the USA and New Zealand, quite a number of aspects of my trip were still being sorted out by those helping me to organise it. So I set off to go to the three Highland Games and various talks not quite knowing what was going to happen. I went to the three Highland Games at Las Vegas, Nevada; Greensboro, NC and Woodlands, California and spent 5 days talking to people who visited those tents about their Boyd family tree and some of our Boyd History. I was also able to talk to quite a number of other Clan Tents about contacting their Historian or Editor of their Magazine, with a view to telling them about our Clan Boyd Pyramid Project of collecting all Boyd descendants. In addition to this I did 10 talks to people at Grand Rapids, MI, Troy, Ohio; Elizabeth, PA; Pikeville, KY; Greensboro, NC; Waynesville, NC, Knoxville, TN; Nashville, TN, Woodlands, CA and Auckland, New Zealand. I would like to thank publicly all those people that helped to arrange these meeting during my trip. I hope from these meetings to be able to pick up another 50, plus, new Boyd family trees. When I was not involved with meeting people, during this trip, my host - who had to work - pointed me towards the Local Library. There I was able to pick up another 250 new Boyd family trees and fill my family tree bag full of paper on these families. While Mindy Householder was able to copy additional families onto her hand scanner, which she has yet to send to me, so that will add to the total of new families we now know about. And I think that Judy Spiers from Pikeville, KY had some extra families on her laptop from when were at Lexington and Pikeville Libraries which will need to be added to my list of new family Chapters as well. It will take me about a month to sort and Index these papers which I will do after I write some letter to those people that assisted me and those from other Clans. I still have not finished Indexing my papers from last years trip yet. I was also able to pick up the book, The Boydstun - Boydston Family, by Gladys Boydstoun Domonoske, 1971. This book seems to have some 55 separate Boydston families in it. This is the first time that I have looked at the name of Boydston in relationship to Clan Boyd. While I was at Kaikoura, on New Zealand's South Island, I meet Murray Boyd and got a copy of his book From Donegal to Blackgurads Corner, A history of the Boyd family of Kaikoura, 1992. I have been after this book for some 18 years, as it relates to 2 Boyd brothers from Loughrous Point in western County Donegal, near where my late wife's Duncan family came from and her first Mr Duncan married a Miss Boyd. This will allow me to work on Volume 12 for Boyd families from County Donegal which will take another months work or so. I hope that I was able to provide some history of Clan Boyd to those that came to my talks, so that they can pass on this knowledge to others. One of the early jobs I will have to do is to look at "History Topics" I drew up on 2009, so that I can revise these and pass these sections of our History to Editor Kevin and to the Boyd net list. This will allow more to be passed onto other Boyds whom I am hoping that they will encourage other Boyd to do their family tree. While those were only getting started, I hope they have now worked out their objectives including how much time per week they can spend on their tree, worked out what they want to do when with this research then they are finished, etc. And I look forward to seeing them asking question of the Boyd Net list about their own family tree. So this will now gives me about 800 separate Boyd family chapters to write up this year. So I will not be making a August/September trip this year to Scotland and Ireland but working on producing the 16 Volumes of Clan Boyd of Scotland that these families represent. I will again encourage those new members to the list to "publish" your own family tree branch and the first few generations of your tree, so that you can find "cousins" on the Boyd Net list. While this trip has cost me several thousand dollars for this 4 1/2 weeks "holiday" - plus what my host's also spent because of my being in their area, I think it is money well spent to spread the message about Clan Boyd history. Mike Boyd Chairman Historical Committee House of Boyd Society

Before our meeting at Las Vagas, David Boyd of Maryland, was telling me about Chief John Boyd - I think he said he was a "Souox (?)" Indian Chief from North Dakota - and his descendants who were on an Indian Reservation in North Dakota. He said these descendants were blue eyed and not like the normal "Indians" on the reservation. He thought that during the 1800's when cattle were driven from Texas up North to help feed the various Indian Tribes that perhaps a Mr Boyd might stayed after the cattle drive and married an Indian lady. So if any of our Texas Cousin have an John Boyd missing this might be were he finished up. I also discussed with him that this John Boyd might have been an Indian Agent who finished up living with the Indians on this reservation. Or there could have been some other reason for this Chief to be called John Boyd. So are there any members of this list from Dakota, whom may be able to add any information to this small puzzle? David, can you provide a better outline of this story please. Thank you. Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS

List members I have received this request from Karen Abbott and have just sent her this reply:- (i) I do not thing that I can help you directly with stories about Belle Boyd but I may be able to direct you to where you can find such stories for this "spirited young lady". (ii) I have these Books on Belle Boyd and her family:- 1. Belle Boyd, Confederate Spy, by Louis A. Siguad, 1949. [NEED TO GET FULL BOOK DETAILS, - PUBLISHER AND LIBRARY OF CONGRESS NUMBER] 2. The Parrish family including the allied families of Belt, Boyd, Cole and Malone, Clokey, Garrett, Merryman, Parsons, Price, Tipton, , with special reference to Mercelia Louise Boyd .... Genealogist Katherine Cox Gottschalk. Compiled and published by Scott Lee Boyd. Santa Barbara, Calif., 1935. 9-413 p. 36-14655 entry No. 13014 3. The Boyd family including the allied families of Bell, Braken, Cullar, Cunningham, Finley, Gaut, Hoover, Hough, Markle, McGrew, Parrish, Perry, Pinkerton, Scholl, Speer, Warfel, Welday, Williams, with special reference to Mercelia Louise Boyd ... Genealogist Katherine Cox Gottschalk. Compiled and published by Scott Lee Boyd. Santa Barbara, Calif., 1935. 330 p. 36-6743. entry No. 2067. 4. Belle Boyd in camp and prison, Belle Boyd's autobiography, available at Berkeley County Historical Society. [BCHS] (Cal Boyd - 8/2/2008) (iii) I assume that you have already been in contact with the Berkeley County Historical Society in West Virginia? I understand that they are in the house that Belle Boyd's parents lived in, in Martinsburg, Virginia - Now WVA. So I am not sure what stories they may have - real or not - about her. (iv) The second Scott Lee Boyd above is about her family which starts with a William Boyd (whom it is thought to have married Margaret McClain). There was a brother Thomas Boyd and perhaps a second brother John Boyd whom the book claims is William's son John but he would only be about 8 or 9 years old when they came on the ship and this John Boyd was supposed to have had a family. So this claim in Scott Lee Boyd's book is wrong. When I saw the book in Washington County, PA at Mindy Householder's home, I was looking at the data on William's son Robert to another Boyd family from PA that went to Iredell Co., NC. I think it was mainly about the son William and his descendants. While Belle Boyd's family descends from William's son Samuel Boyd, who married Mary Beckett. Mindy's husband is a descendant of William, the father, but I am not sure which child he descendants from. So if you need Mindy's Email address to see what is said about Belle Boyd's family and anything about her during the War. (v) Last year, when I visited Adington, VA, I was given a 2 page letter from Mrs Sue Boyd Barton to Miss Mary Nelson which talks about her stay in Knoxville at the Boyd house which was the Old Blount Mansion written in 1932. I do not know if the McClung Historical Collection at East Tennessee History Centre, Knoxville, TN have any other material on Belle Boyd and her stay the Winter of 1862 and Spring of 1863. (vi) You may also like to contact the Old Blount Mansion Museum in Knoxville, TN to see if they have any stories about her. (vii) I have five raw files, but all these are on the family genealogy and do not have any creditable stories about her, expect one mentioned that she shot a northern soldier after he had insulted her mother. viii) In early 2008, I wrote to:- T Strader USA belle-boyd@juno.com who said he has a distant cousin of Belle Boyd. So you may like to Email him to see if he has any stories that may help your project. ix) I will post your message to the Boyd@rootsweb.com Net list, so that any descendants or relatives of Belle Boyd can contact you directly with stories. (x) Our former genealogist, Cal Boyd, would have been able to help you but he lost his family tree records in New Orleans during the flood and in recent years has had several stokes, so I very much doubt if he could help you now. I know that several of you belong to the same family Branch as Belle Boyd's family came from, so if you are able to provide any stories or add any other sources that Karen my be able to look up could you please advise her directly on the above Email address. The family tree data I have for Belle Boyd is:- V1 Isabelle (Belle) Boyd, b 9/5/1844 (Martinsburg, Va.), d 11/6/1900 (Kilbourn, [now Wisconsin Dells] Wisconsin), m 25/8/1864 (England ?), Samuel Wylde Hardinge, son of Hardinge, b 18xx, dc 1865/66, and had issue:- m 2ndly 17/3/1869, Col. John Swainston Hammond, son of Hammond, b 18xx, d 19xx, and had issue, Div 1/11/1884, m 3rdly 7/1/1885, Nathaniel Rue High, son of High, b 18xx, d 19xx, and had no issue:- Thank you Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS ----- Original Message ----- From: Karen Abbott To: Mike Boyd Sent: Saturday, May 21, 2011 7:15 AM Subject: Belle Boyd Dear Mr. Boyd, I hope you don't mind my writing to you; you were copied on an email from Lauren Boyd McLachlan a few weeks ago. I'm working on a book for HarperCollins about female Civil War spies, and I'm currently researching the life of Belle Boyd. I've been in contact with a few of Belle's ancestors, and your name always comes up. Do you have any good stories or family lore about Belle? I know you're busy touring at the moment, but I'd love to talk with you whenever it's convenient. My number is 917-434-2663. Thanks very much, and have a good weekend.

Mike, Exactly when the members' annual fees are due depends on what time of year they joined (the first six months, or the last).  But, if anyone needs more information or if they cannot remember when they joined, they can contact me off-list and I will gladly look it up for them.

Hi Darlene, years ago I tried to do some research in SC but everywhere I looked for a research library, I found nothing. I think you might have to visit the SC Archives in Columbia, SC to find information. I never looked in Abbeville, but checked Charleston, SC many times, including the churches. It seems that one of the speakers at a conference I attended (many years ago), gave out sheets that gave all the places in SC to research but I have long ago forgotten where those places are. Have you tried looking online at Heritage Quest for census images that might help you locate the area where your ancestor lived? wish I could give you a better answer, but frankly I was disappointed in my research in SC. Maybe things have changed and you can find something, but years ago I found nothing helpful.
