Nancy Boyd is said to be the eldest daughter and first child of Hugh Boyd and Sarah Ward of Patrick Co., VA. These are the only details I know on this family.

Mike, it IS Josiah. Back in 1999 when I first posted, we didn't have as much information readily available. Please delete my original post from that time. The 1850 Census for the North District of Patrick County, Va shows the following: Josiah Wood, age 38; Delila (as spelled here) age 34; Louisa ,13; Sarah J., 12; Lucy A., 10; Nancy E., 8; German M., 4; Archi J., 6 months and Sarah Boyd, 70 years old living with them. We would assume this to be Delilah's mother, Sarah Ward Boyd? The 1860 Census shows Josiah at 46, Delila at 40, Louisa 24, Nancy 18, German 14, Josiah at 13(is this Archi J?) and Henry at 10 months. Sarah Boyd is still with them, but now she is listed as being 85 Charlene Boyd Kemp In a message dated 4/4/2011 2:51:27 A.M.

Charlie, and anybody else interested: My brother did the DNA 67 marker test for my family, who is descended from Hugh Boyd of Patrick County and brother to Joseph and Robert. We are L-21 with the long form being R1b1a2a1a1b4, but we still show up with no matches. I know that Michelle Ligon has a male family member that did the test also and on paper we are definitely related, but we don't have a match beyond 12. According to the administrator that doesn't show anything beyond maybe that her family and mine walked on two feet! So the DNA so far, hasn't helped in finding ancestors.

Good Morning: I need a quick response OFF LIST from those who are attending our AGM in 2 weeks. I realize some of you may have travel plans that may have a bearing on attending our meeting. We have two options for the meeting room and I must get back to them ASAP. So far, I have heard from one person that her family needs to leave around noon. Others of you may have plans to attend church. Either way, I'd like to have the meeting at a time when MOST can attend. Please let me know which works for you. (email to confido@gmail.com) Sunday from 9:45 a.m. until 11:45 a.m. or 1:00 p.m. until 3:00 p.m. Thanks! Yours Aye, Lauren Lauren Boyd McLachlan President House of Boyd Society, Inc. president@clanboyd.org

It seems simple to me, but if anyone knows the DNA of the family posted; would it not be GREAT to actually share that information with the entire list when posting? I know that I read with interest all post from the 1800's east coast and wonder if I could work toward association with that family . Charlie Boyd (of the " A" team) Johns Creek, Georgia North Metro Atlanta

Charlene, descendant of Hugh, has a brother who was tested; my cousin, descendant of Joseph (b. 1769), was also tested.  Neither of us match any Boyds.  More Boyds need to be tested.  One or more of our ancestors may have been adopted into the Boyd family. I do not know if descendants of James, the Rev. War pensioner, have had any DNA testing done, but it would be interesting if they have.

Hi,   We have a confirmed space for Mike Boyd's history talk on Tuesday, April 19, 2011.  The talk will be held from 9am-12pm at the Grand Rapids Main Library on the 4th floor in the Vander Veen Center for the Book, 111 Library Street NE, Grand Rapids, MI 49503.   You can find a map to this location at http://grpl.org/about/main.php   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 do hope that you will take this opportunity to meet Mike Boyd as this is the first and likely only time he will come to this area.    Yolanda Boyd

Here is a link that may become increasingly valuable. It is a project by Virginia Tech to digitize several newspapers from the civil war era. They have a paper from Macon Georgia online already and a quick Boyd search showed 6 hits mostly about Belle Boyd in Europe. I believe that if you keep checking back more papers and more issues will be posted. https://dcr.emd.vt.edu/vital/access/manager/Index If the link is not clickable just copy and paste into your browser window.

Mike, There was considerable Quaker influence in the area and in the community as late as 20th century. While my grandfather became a Presbyterian minister, one of his brothers became a Quaker. The main Quaker source for the late influence was from Guilford College (located in Greensboro NC). -----Original Message----- >From: Mike Boyd <mikejboyd@bigpond.com> >Sent: Apr 1, 2011 6:56 PM >To: Conduff Childress <cchldrss@mindspring.com>, BOYD-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: [BOYD] 2 Boyd family Groups in Patrick Co., VA in 1700's > >Con >Thank you for tell us that we are looking at two separate Groups of Boyd >families in Patrick Co., VA in the 1700's. > >Now we need to identify which names belong to which Group? > >With regard to James Boyd whose father Joseph Boyd came from Bucks Co., PA, >I HAVE THE THOUGHT FROM THIS LOCATION AND TIME THAT Joseph Boyd MIGHT HAVE >BEEN A QUAKER.

Mike, for family #3, I think we have this family listed under Hugh instead of William. Hugh was in Patrick County and I don't know anything about this William that you have down as going to KY and dying in Illinois. You must have skipped a line as you were transcribing. I also don't have the first person, Henry, on the list of Hugh's children. I do have a Nancy Boyd however who married Abraham Reynolds. Others on the Boyd List: Is this the way you have it also?

Con Thank you for tell us that we are looking at two separate Groups of Boyd families in Patrick Co., VA in the 1700's. Now we need to identify which names belong to which Group? With regard to James Boyd whose father Joseph Boyd came from Bucks Co., PA, I HAVE THE THOUGHT FROM THIS LOCATION AND TIME THAT Joseph Boyd MIGHT HAVE BEEN A QUAKER. So were there any Quaker settlements in Patrick County, VA.

Nancy who married Abraham Reynolds was the daughter of Joseph Boyd b. 1769.  Abraham and Nancy lived in Wythe Co., VA about 1840, and in Russell Co., VA by 1850.  I believe Abraham was a millwright, born in MD (1798).  I would love to know how they met. Nancy (Aaron?) Boyd (widow of Joseph), age 96 and blind, is found living with Nancy Reynolds and daughter Caroline (not the same as Caroline, dau of Rosannah Boyd), on the 1870 census for Russell Co., VA.  This census was taken less than two weeks before Caroline Reynolds' marriage to P. A. Proffitt, whose real name was Prince Albert -- no wonder he went by P. A. ________________________________ From: "Charivari2@aol.com" <Charivari2@aol.com> To: mikejboyd@bigpond.com; BOYD-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Sat, April 2, 2011 7:01:13 AM Subject: Re: [BOYD] Boyd families of Patrick Co., VA Mike, for family #3, I think we have this family listed under Hugh instead  of William.  Hugh was in Patrick County and I don't know anything about  this William that you have down as going to KY and dying in Illinois.  You  must have skipped a line as you were transcribing.  I also don't have the  first person, Henry, on the list of Hugh's children.  I do have a Nancy  Boyd however who married Abraham Reynolds.  Others on the Boyd List:  Is this the way you have it also?  Thanks!
