Charlene When you and I visted the PA State Library at Harrisburg, PA, you were given an map of when the various Counties were created for PA. Is this website providing something similar? To others outside of PA, do or would other US States (and other Countries like Canada) have similar maps showing when and the area of new Counties. Lauren could we ask the webmaster, if this and other State/County websites be linked from the Boyd website?

Announcement: Boyd Mountain of Waynesville, NC, featured in a recent issue of Our State magazine (NC), will be the location of Mike Boyd's talk on Clan Boyd History and Genealogy.  Mike will present his talk in the "Clinch Valley Cabin" at Boyd Mountain on Sunday afternoon, May 1st, from 3:00 - 6:00 p.m.  Light refreshments will be provided.  Directions and information are available at http://boydmountain.com/index-home.html.  The venue will be open to us after 2:30 p.m., so please plan accordingly. **This location may appeal to Boyd researchers in a four-state area, including northeast Georgia, southeast Tennessee, northwest South Carolina and of course North Carolina. As Judith recently pointed out, "the talk will be appropriate for veteran genealogists and those just starting to explore their family history. If you have a family tree, please print it out or put it on a thumb drive and bring it to the meeting. Mike has collected over 640 individual Boyd families and is working towards connecting all of these families together." Please join us for sharing family trees and for the amazing history of Clan Boyd in beautiful, mountain surroundings of Waynesville (Haywood County), North Carolina. RSVP to me, please?  This way I can let the kind folks at Boyd Mountain know how many chairs to have for us, and how many refreshments I should bring.  Thank you so much!

Dear Cousins: Our time slot for the AGM is from 9:15 a.m. - 11:15 a.m. on SUNDAY. It will be held on the grounds of the Las Vegas Games. The event is supplying some "continental breakfast" type of items for us. The good folk at the event said: "Be sure to let your Clan members know that there's still time to register for the Shortbread baking contest. Details are on our website. Fill out the registration form online, bring it with you, and you can pay your fee at the event up until 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. FYI - to clarify the rules: we're not keeping or publishing recipes. They are only to prove the authenticity of the submissions, and to protect the public and the Games from mishaps due to food allergies. If you submit a separate list of ingredients without quantities that can be verified against the recipe, the recipe can then be returned and we will only need to retain the ingredients list. Be sure that your name, address, and phone number are listed on both the recipe and the ingredients list." Yours Aye, Lauren

These are the Boyds listed as being in Westmoreland Co., PA in 1790 (However, I am not sure what counties had been cut of from Westmoreland County, PA after it was created in 1773 and up to the 1790 Census BOYD,John PA Co:Westmoreland Twp:Derry BOYD,Mary PA Co:Westmoreland Twp:Rostraver BOYD,Samuel PA Co:Westmoreland Twp:S.Huntingdon BOYD,Thomas PA Co:Westmoreland Twp:Unity BOYD,Thomas PA Co:Westmoreland Twp:Hempfield Do List members know which families these Boyd might belong to? Thank you Mike Boyd

I have that Westmoreland County was created in 1773 form Bedford Co., PA, but I am not sure what Counties were cut oif it after 1773. Westmoreland, Co., PA was created in 1773 from Bedford Co., PA Bedford Co, PA was created in 1771 from Cumberland Co., PA Cumberland Co., PA was created in 1750 from Lancaster Co., PA Lancaster Co. was created 14 Oct. 1728 from Chester Co., Chester was an original Co., formed in 1682 Thak you Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS

Hi List, There is free access to Civil War records on Ancestry.com and Footnote.com beginning this week, April 7-14. Some of you may want to check them out. Kim Boyd

We are very lucky to have Mike Boyd coming to Pikeville, KY and I hope that anyone living in the area and interested in the Boyd family history or genealogy will make an attempt to come to this talk. The talk will be appropriate for veteran genealogists and those just starting to explore their family history. If you have a family tree, please print it out or put it on a thumb drive and bring it to the meeting. Mike has collected over 640 individual Boyd families and is working towards connecting all of these families together. I have confirmed space for Mike Boyd's History Talk on Thursday, April 28, 2011. The time for the talk will be 6 - 9 pm at the Pikeville College Community Technology Center, Room 125. This is located on the 1st floor adjoining the Pikeville Public Library at 119 College Street, Pikeville, KY. If you are considering coming to this talk, please send me a quick email so that I can have an approximate head count when setting up. I hope everyone will take advantage of this opportunity to meet Mike Boyd as this is the first and very likely the only time he will come to this area. Judith Adkins-Spears Pikeville Pike/Floyd, Kentucky. USA jkas0301@bellsouth.net

Charlene, I have probably the same map issued by Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission that shows Allegheny County formed Sept. 24, 1788. But my map indicates Allegheny was formed from a portion of Westmoreland and an area extending to Lake Erie that was "not included in any county" until April 8, 1785". According to that map, Washington County remained stable from March 28, 1781 until Greene County was carved out Feb 9, 1796.

This is to let member of this list know what has been arranged for me so far on my talking tour. I hope both to tell you some of what I know about our Boyd history and to be able to help individuals with their own family tree. 1) On Tuesday morning, 19 April 2011, I will be at Grand Rapids, MI. Could you contact Yolanda Boyd, Grand Rapids, MI Email ymlboyd@sbcglobal.net for the time and venue. 2) On Wednesday 20 April 2011, I will be just north of Dayton, Ohio - I think in Troy, Ohio. Could you contact Marla Fair, near Dayton, OH, Email dfair@woh.rr.com for the time and venue. 3) On Monday 25 April 2011, I will be in Elizabeth, PA Allegheny County. The group helping me are working out which of 2 venues is better. Time is expected to be in the evening, so you may wish to advise either Dave or Mindy which is a more suitable time to start for this 3 hour talk - 6 pm or 7 pm. So could you contact Dave Boyd on Email daveboydjr@mindspring.com or Mindy Householdre on Email minzgen@gmail.com 4) Mindy has yet to advise me if she would like an separate meeting in Washington Co., PA on Saturday 23 April, 2011. 5) On Thursday 28 April 2011, Judith Spears, of Pikeville, KY, Email jkas0301@bellsouth.net will be organising a meeting in Pikesville, KY. So could you contact her about the venue and time please. (This should allow Boyds from West Virginia and western Virginia to come alone as well.) 6) Judith was also talking about holding another meeting on Wednesday, 27 April perhaps in Floyd Co., KY. (That advise may be one of the 4500 Emails I have yet to clear.) 7) On Friday evening, 29 April 2011, I will be talking in Greensboro, NC. So could you contact Michelle Ligon, Email mich9118@bellsouth.net and Joyce Arcus, Email nightingale1960me@yahoo.com about this venue and time please. 8) At this stage I am not sure if there will be a talk in Durham, NC on the Saturday night, 30 April 2011. When Joyce lets me know I will advise you. Michelle Ligon has and is organising some other meetings in western NC before I go to Knoxville and Nasville, TN. Hopefully, I can provide those details later to day, as I read and clear more Emails I expect that this will be my first and only chance to get to the above places, as I live in Brisbane, Australia and I am 66 years old. So if you live near any of the above places I hope that you will take this opportunity to contact each of the organisers about coming along. I will be certainly trying to tell you as much as I can about our 900 year old Boyd history as I can and to help you with your tree (which I can continue to do when I get home). Through the marriage of various daughters of the Boyd family of Kilmarnock we are related to:- we are linked to the First Lord Montgomery and later Earl of Eglinton, the third Lord Semple and his descendants; third Earl of Glencairn - a Cunningham- and his descendants and a number of other Conningham Cadet Branches, the first Lord Boyd's daughter Elizabeth Married the 4th Earl of Angus - Archibald Douglas, so all their descendants are linked to the Boyds, The Muirs of Rowallan, Crawford of Crawfordland and some other Ayrshire branches of Crawfords/Crawfurds; 7th Earl of Erroll - a Hay - and quite a number of other Noble families like the Hamiltons, Blairs, Kennedies, Kerrs. You may also like to ask at your next meeting of your Family History Society, if any of them have married into Boyd families - both male and female - and see if these people would like to come along as well. Thank you Mike Boyd Chairman Historical Committee House of Boyd Society

Here is a link with some interesting historical family information concerning Josiah and Delilah Boyd. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~turnersbackboneridge/history.htm Kim Boyd

List There are 8 or 9 known Boyd families from Patrick County, VA. It would appear that Charlene's Hugh Boyd and Brothers were part of the northern group on the Franklin County Border. I understand that this group then went to Russell Co., VA and then onto other western Virginia Counties like Buchanan and Tazewell and perhaps into Washington County. And perhaps some going into east KY as well. So if you are from these Counties and a male Boyd it would be very good to have the DNA test done. The second group of Boyds were near the NC border, but I can't recall what there migration bath was. But again it useful for them to have their DNA 67 marker test done.
