Bill and others In view that Bill has said that Robert and Elizabeth were married in 1806, this WOULD TO ME suggest that Elisha was the eldest child and that the children Samuel and Oney or Leony Boyd were therefore most likely born after 1807. This would suggest that Elizabeth was still alive in 1811 when the third child was most likely born. So are there any records for Patrick County that may help to confirm this? And can more than 3 children be found for this couple? Bill when you plan your trip later this year I would suggest that you go to see Michelle Ligon at Boone, NC. The University Library there has information on many of the Mountain Counties. B) Go to Abington, Washington, VA. The Historical Society at the Railway station said there were plenty of Boyds in Washington County. While Michaelle and I found some of these there during our short visit befoe it closed. And you will need to go to the County Library as well. You may need more than a day going through these Boyds. Someone earlier this year posted about a Boyd currently living in Abington but I can't put my hands on that Email. (Perhaps Harold Boyd may know Boyds down that way.) C) Harold R. Boyd lives in Buchanan Co., VA. So he will know what is available in that County. This should allow you to contact current members of your fmaily and fill in some of the last few generations details. D) While Sherrie Kirby lives in Richmond, VA. So she should be able to point you to where the Franklin County records are storied. E) I am not sure if you wo9uld need to visit Patrick County before and /or after you go to Richmond. I would think that you will need more than a week. Perhaps a full 2 weeks. Let you wife drive home to Georgia, while you write up your Project.

The William Boyd that married Margaret Mason is Judy Spears' family. We have not yet found a link between this Boyd family and the Joseph, Hugh, Robert Boyd family in Patrick/Franklin Co. VA Judy and I have looked for it. Does anyone else on the List know of a link? Charlene Boyd Kemp PA State Historian HBS In a message dated 3/30/2011 11:57:41 P.M.

The list is longer and I am a bit tired now and going to bed. Pat Long Roanoke, VA

You all have posted that a Robert Boyd b. c1780 m. Elizabeth Rakes d/o Charles Rakes & Jane Hubbard. Where did you get that Charles Rakes m. Jane Hubbard? I have Hubbards in my lineage but not a Jane that ever married a Charles Rakes. I have Charles Anthony Rakes b. c1770 in Henrico Co, VA; d. c1822 in Franklin Co, VA was married twice, first c.1788 to Sarah Elizabeth Unknown; their children were: Gabriel Rakes; Elizabeth Rakes; Samuel Jackson Rakes; Charles Rakes; David Rakes; Chesley Aaron Rakes b. 13 July 1800 (one of my Rakes connections). Charles Anthony Rakes m. 2nd on 20 Feb 1807 to Nancy (Mary) Oakes and their children were: John Carter Rakes; William Rakes; Polly Rakes; Lewis Rakes. I am looking in my death records book for Patrick Co, VA for the Elizabeth Rakes that married Robert Boyd. Will post if I find anything. I have birth records books from 1853-1896 for Patrick Co; have marriage records books from 1800-1896; death records from 1853-1900 and unrecorded documents book from 1791-1920 (Patrick Co). I also have a copy of the court order records book 0. We did 2 Heritage Books for Patrick Co and I have a copy of both. There are many family histories in these two books written by descendants of the people who settled Patrick Co. If anyone needs a lookup, I will be happy to oblige. If I get time maybe I can just post all the listings for BOYDS that I find in these books. I have some books from Rockingham Co, NC also as many of the people from Patrick Co were connected to people in that county. I have some information on the Isham Cockram s/o Edward and Mary "Polly" Edwards. This is not my line but you know how these families interconnect through marriages. Again you have Sarah Rakes as d/o Charles Rakes & Jane Hubbard. Isham Cockram and Sarah Rakes had a son named David Preston Cockram b. 1805 in Franklin Co, VA, d. 30 Nov 1876 in Patrick Co, VA; m. Oct 1825 in Patrick Co, VA to Anna Wood b. 1806. Pat Long Roanoke, VA

Hello, Here is some information on my line of Boyds: Hugh Boyd b. c1767 m. 1 Mar 1794 in Franklin Co, VA to Sarah Ward b. c 1775 in VA. Their children were Delilah, John, Martha, Nathan, Sarah, William, Joseph, Andrew, Nancy Adline, Isaac Newton, Lucy (my g-g-g-grandmother) b. 24 May 1806 m. Preston Jackson Allen 5 Jan 1827 Franklin Co, VA, had 5 children: Malinda Jane Allen b. Nov 1827; Hugh A. Allen b. c1832; Martha Ann Allen b. 24 Nov 1833; Nathan A. Allen b. c1836; Creed G. Allen b. 26 Feb 1837(my g-g-grandfather) m. 6 Nov 1856 Patrick Co, VA to Nancy Elizabeth Martin. Their children: Statira "Stacy" Anne Allen; Victoria Elizabeth "Bettie" Allen (my g-grandmother); Nathan Wade Allen; Lucy Catherine Malinda Allen. Victoria Elizabeth Allen m. James Thomas Earles and their daughter, my grandmother was Addie Marcella Earles who married David Fitzhugh Lewis (these are my mother's parents). If anyone connects to any of these, let me know I have more information. I also have connections to the Cockrams, and Hopkins in Patrick Co, VA. I forgot to mention this in an earlier email when I listed all the surnames I connect to in PCVA. Sincerely, Pat Long

Dave, I thought I had her information but cannot locate it at the moment. She was born here and I think her father was maybe from either Maryland or PA. Her grandfather was a Methodist Minister and is written up in a book from Greene Memorial UMC. Her niece has done some research on the family and I have tried to find information for her too. She doesn't seem to connect to my line of Boyds who were in Franklin Co and Patrick Co, VA. I have most of the printed materials from Patrick Co. Most of my ancestors either settled Patrick Co or were born there. I connect to the following surnames: Adams, Austin, Boyd, Burnett, Clifton, Cruise, DeHart (my maiden name), Earles, Hughes, Layman, Lewis (my mother), Martin, Moles, Rakes, Slaughter, Ward, Worrell, and probably some I can't think of at the moment., I will call my friend to see if it is okay to share her information. She had a brother (deceased) and a sister who just passed away at age 91. She is the last of her family living except for her children and grandchildren. Her memory is not that good but she has everything she knows written down.

Pat Where in Richmond, VA did they send these records? State Library or Archives? There are some Boyd researchers in Richmond. So hopefully they will step up to do some "volunteering" to develop this family group. Yes I do remember you. You sent me material on the Boyds of Londongrove, PA.

Patrick/Franklin County VA Boyd researchers: In Mike's recent posting he mentioned Michelle Ligon, Sherrie Kirby, Walter Boyd, Harold Boyd, Keith Boyd and me as being descendants of this VA family.. As of today we would want to add Pat Long (_pdlong57@cox.net_ (mailto:pdlong57@cox.net) ). Also, others have in the past either sent inquiries or have contributed information about this particular family of Boyds, who we believe may be descended from a Joseph in Bucks County, PA. Perhaps the following might chime in if they are still working on their family research and are subscribed to the BoydList. Virginia Pierce, Laura Ann Brown, S.Muncy and Sharon Stine. Charlene Boyd Kemp

Mike, they have the records on microfilm at the State Library. You can access some of the records via internet but I don't have the URL for them now as they change it periodically and add materials to the website. I use Ancestry at my local library and find information there, but have not looked for the Boyds. There seems to be others on the list that descend from the Boyds in Franklin Co, VA. I have always thought that mine came up out of the Carolinas, but no proof. I don't think I have a connection to the Boyds in PA, but I have a friend whose maiden name was Boyd. She is 88 years old now and her grandfather was a Methodist Minister and moved around somewhat. Her family was in PA. I probably sent you her information too as I was trying to help her piece her family together. On mine I only have back to Hugh Boyd who was in Franklin Co, VA I am in the process of looking for any data I have on his family so I can post it to the list. Everyone take care. It is a miserable day here in Roanoke. Cold and raining. Good day to stay home and work on genealogy.

List just looking at the information that Bill Boyd supplied to me for Elisha Boyd and Ella Leah Cockram and their children. He does not know where the first 2 children - Christiana, bc 1830, and Robert bc 1834, were born. However, he does provide that the 3rd child, John Boyd was bc 1838 in Russell Co., VA. So this would suggest that Robert Boyd or at least Elisha Boyd had moved from Patrick Co, VA to Russell Co. VA So the first task for those who are members of this family group is:- I) to find where Robert Boyd and Elizabeth Rakes were married. I WOULD ASSUME IN PATRICK Co., VA? So does anyone have any information on their marriage. If not is there some who lives in or near Patrick County that could do a search at the County Court House please? II) Is it known where all of Elisha Boyd and Ella Leah Cockram's children were born. The one that Bill has provided an location for is Russell Co., VA. So can you list what research you have each done in that County. III) Russell County, Va was formed from Washington Co., VA in 1785. When Michelle Legon and I went to Abington, VA in Washington Co., VA, we were told that there are or were a lot of Boyd in that County. IV) So have the VA Census from 1810 been used to find both Patrick and Elisha Boyds families. This may help to locations to find Land Records. These Census records may also help to identify where both Robert and Elizabeth Boyd died or where to look for the Cemetery . Are there any other sources of information that I have missed that needs to be looked at? Other Counties mentioned are Tazwell and Buchanan Counties, VA. Judith Spears of Pikesville, KY - just across the VA/KY border will be hosting a meeting for me at the end of April 2011. So hopefully we have found a solution before I give me talk in Pikesville, KY.

Hello everyone, I descend from Hugh Boyd of Franklin Co, VA and will see what I have to post to the list. Seems like I sent my information to Mike sometime ago but he has so much on his plate he probably doesn't remember my post to him. It has been quite awhile back. I live about 35 minutes from the courthouse in Franklin Co, but they sent most of their records to Richmond, VA and I have never researched the Boyds when I was in Richmond.

Mike, I) Robert and Elizabeth were married in Patrick County, Va. on 23 Oct. 1806. II) The children of Elisha Boyd and Ella Leah Cockram were born in two counties in Va. Christiana, Robert, and Sarah Leah were born in Patrick County and Isham, Issac, Samuel, and William were born in Russell County. I have not had the opportunity to travel to Va. for research. I am planning a trip possibly later this year to spend some time there and in Kentucky. There is not enough information available online to answer all the questions, and the State and Counties are not real eager to assist with mail and phone inquiries. I suspect they get an overload of genealogical requests.

Are there any other sources of information that I have missed that needs to be looked at? Other Counties mentioned are Tazwell and Buchanan Counties, VA. Judith Spears of Pikesville, KY - just across the VA/KY border will be hosting a meeting for me at the end of April 2011. So hopefully we have found a solution before I give me talk in Pikesville, KY.

Well I am excited to see my ancestors on the web. My line is Robert, Elisha, Robert, Samuel,William D., William T., then me, William T. I am able to establish facts on all of these except for 5th Grandfather , Robert. That is my wall. My research shows that Elizabeth Rakes, b. 1890 in Franklin Co., Va., mothers name was Jane Hubbard. Their son Elisha was born about 1807 in Patrick Co., Va., d. 3 Oct, 1865 in Vandyke, Buchanan Co., Va. He was married to Ella Leah Cockran on 18 Nov., 1830 in Franklin Co., Va. She was born in 1810 in Franklin Co, Va., and died in Vandyke, Buchanan Co., Va. Elisha and Ella Leah had 8 children; Christiana, Robert, Sarah Leah, John, Isham, Isaac, Samuel, and William. Robert was born in 1834 in Franklin Co., Va. He married Lucinda Short on 9 Jan, 1855 in Russell Co., Va. She was born in Grayson Co., Va. about 1939. They had 4 children; Sarah E., Samuel B., Elisha, and Lou P. Samuel was born on 4 June, 1855 in Buchanan Co, Va., died 24 Feb. 1915 in South Vanceburg, Lewis Co., Ky. He was married to Julia Elizabeth Lowe on 4 Dec. 1873 in Tazewell, Tazewell Co., Va. She was born in 1855 in Tazewell Co., Va. Samuel and Julia had three children; William D., my grandfather, Lucinda, and Martha. William D. was born 3 Jan, 1874 in Tazewell, Va. He died 3 Aug., 1951 in Vanceburg, Lewis Co., Ky. That is the backbone of my research. There are a lot of other facts on others along the way that I would be happy to share.

Good morning everyone! Mike, this is from my family of Boyds in Patrick/Franklin County VA.. Michelle Ligon and Sherrie Kirby and I all go back to these three brothers, that we know of, Hugh, Joseph, and Robert. The Tiller's research shows that Robert died around 1830 in VA, but they give no locale. Elizabeth Rakes is listed as the daughter of Charles Rakes and Jane, Indian(?). For their children, they show the same children, but add that Oney/Leony married Edmond Arrington on 08 Mar 1829 in Patrick County. The Tillers then go on to list eight children for Elisha, but there is no other listing for Leony and Samuel. I'm sure the Tillers won't mind if I list he eight children in a further reply, if anyone wants to have them in their records. Their research is very substantial and has held up so far. May I make a plea that if anyone knows any thing about these Boyds of Patrick and Franklin (they owned land on the border of these two counties) that they please offer up what they know. The origins of this family has been searched for years, but I've seen no proof for anyone's conjectures as yet. Charlene Boyd Kemp PA State Historian HBS In a message dated 3/29/2011 2:08:59 A.M.
