Some time ago Mike Boyd mentioned a document that we found at the Lancaster Historical Society and he said I should start to send the info to the Boyd List. There are many pages of Boyd names from this research done by John W. Heisey in 1966-1967. There is so much that I think I will have to scan or photograph some pages or I will never finish all the typing that would be required. However, I need advice as to copyright law. Is there a list member who is qualified to give an answer? If so, please do. I'd rather not go to jail right now. Thank you! Charlene Boyd Kemp PA State Historian HBS

Brenda >From the dates you have provided for the Drake children, I think we can rule out that there were Hannah's own children from a previous marriage. I WOULD ASSUME that they are from one of Hannah's brothers. So you may need to join a Drake Net group for a while to post your information or one of the County locations in TN. So have you found where in the 1860 Census that Allison Boyd's family was living and were there any Drake families living near by? But to answer your question as to why the Drake children "used" the name Boyd instead of Drake. In the 1860's USA, they would not have been formally adopted, if they came to live with Allison Boyd and his family - assume both parents had died - did they informally take the Boyd name or just called that because they lived in the Boyd household. Do any other list members have any views on this?

According to Chapter V, The Boyd and Bell Families, pp 173- 202, John Boyd and Jane Bell were married at the Quaker meeting house in Lurgan on 28 January 1708. Their marriage certificate states that both John and Jane are residents of the Parish of Shankill. Three-fourth of this parish (7.7 square miles), including the town of Lurgan, is in County Armagh; the remainder (2.6) square miles) is in the County Down. The boundaries of County Down are such that a small finger, about three-fourth of a mile wide, juts westward to the shore of Lough Neagh between Armagh and Antrim. This small strip of land, which comprises the townland of Kilmore, falls within the Parish of Shankill. John Boyd lived in the County Armagh section of this parish, the Bells within the small County Down portion. John Boyd was estimated to have been born about 1685, but no location or parents were recorded for him. Unfortunately, the marriage certificate does not give the names of the groom's or bride's parents. It is suspected that Elizabeth Boid, as the name is spelled in the first line, is John Boyd's mother, and Tamar Boid a sister, aunty, or other close relative. John's father, whose name has not been ascertained, may have been deceased because no male Boyd signed the certificate as a witness to the ceremony. Ann Bell's parents were William Bell and his wife names is just given as Ann - with no surname. Jane Bell is listed as the first daughter of William and Ann Bell and being born in the parish Aghagallan, County Antrim, while the 2 brothers and fifth daughter are all recorded as being born at Killmore. With three daughters not being listed. A second Bell family of Simon Bell and his wife Ann Crookes are listed as being in Killmore townland. This Simon was Jane Bell's uncle and brother of William Bell. I am looking to see if any of the Bell families of Kilmore Townland, Parish of Shankill, County Down, may know whom John Boyd's parents were or any details on his and Jane Bell's family. Thank you Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS

When we get them altogether, they will be put ona CD and a for a donation to the reunion fund, people will receive a copy. This is also an opportunity to swap genealogical research. FUN: Bring white elephant items you have around the house or something to auction to help raise funds to pay the expenses for the reunion. There will be prizes for the oldest, the youngest, and the one traveling the farthest. Kids bring your swimsuits, tennis rackets, horseshoes, and most importantly, DON'T FORGET YOUR LAWN CHAIRS. Peace, and many thanks, Christian Boyd

Estelle, I'm not the Boyd historian for VA, but I always read these posts because my family comes from VA and some still live there. Just from your letter below I can have no idea of what research you have done, so please don't be offended if what I suggest here is so elementary that your response is "well, duh." We are all at different stages of research for the different lines of our families, after all. I just now did a look up at _www.ancestry.com_ (http://www.ancestry.com) and didn't find a marriage or death certificate for Mandy. I used a couple of her possible names, but not all combinations. So if you haven't tried all those that would be a good start. You might get some ideas from _www.familysearch.org_ (http://www.familysearch.org) as well. That's maintained by the Latter Day Saints. Also, I see there is a Warren Country VA Genealogical Society you might contact. They also have a site at Rootsweb that looks like it's interactive. Also go to Genforum.com and Warren County is represented there as well. You can also go to the Boyd listings on Genforum; you might find something there. I found the death certificate for Thomas, so if Mandy died later, she may have gone to live with a child in her later years. Do you know where the children were living? I saw a Gertrude and a Thomas E., I think, on one of the census forms. If you know that, you might look for a death certificate in another state. Lastly, don't forget you can go to the web site for VA vital statistics and order a death certificate from Richmond. If they don't have it, you're out a little money, but it's another idea. I would order it directly from Richmond though. There are a lot of organizations on the web that offer to do a search. Maybe they are legit; maybe not. Well, those are some avenues to try. Honest, I wasn't trying to demean your intelligence. You may already be a professional genealogist for all I know. I certainly am not. I'm just another Boyd trying to help!

This is to advise members of the Boyd list in the North Island of New Zealand that on my way home from the USA, I will be stopping the Thursday 12 May 2011 in Auckland before going to Christchurch to look up Boyd families in and north of Christchurch on 13-16 May I have just ask Boyd Miller ( Email boydm@vodafone.net.nz) and Murray Reid (Email mhhr@ihug.co.nz) said he would also assist him in contacting Boyds and Boyd researchers in and around Auckland. So if you would like to come or assist them in contact know Boyd researchers please Email one of them. I expect that the meeting will start about 6 pm, to allow those outside of Auckland to have time to drive home. While I have yet to book my accommodation in Auckland for Thursday night, I am hoping to get something that is not to expensive near the Airport which has a room that the meeting can be held in. Hopefully I will know those details this week. When I do I will post to the list. Even though I live in Australia, I have only been to Auckland once, in 1974, so now being retired I have no idea when I next might get to New Zealand. I will provide an outline of Clan Boyd's History since 1111 AD, its origins, Cadet Branches, Spread in Scotland outside of Ayrshire, the Battles it was involved in etc and help anyone who wishes to start to do their family tree to get started and also help anyone to link their family to the 630 known Boyd families that I have been able to collect to date. Since 2004, I have made 8 trips to either Scotland or Ireland looking for know/published Boyd families. Many of these I have yet to enter onto my PC for example, I estimate when I went to Scotland and Ireland last year I found an estimated 400 new Boyd families plus another 100 or so in the USA. Hopefully, I can get time remaining to sorted out the 10 or so folders and typed then up before I leave to go to America I would expect that many of the New Zealand Boyds came from Scotland rather than from Ireland. And that members of the meeting will "educate" me about the migrations to NZ. So hopefully we can get some NZ stories written for editor Kevin and Dean Road. Thank you Mike Boyd Chairman Historical Committee, HBS

Dave Do you know Margaret Jane Boyd's parents or any further back before her? When I was in the US last year, Chris Smithson took me to the Quarryville cemetery - both of them - where we found many Boyd graves. I know that Chris took a lot of photos but can't recall any Boyd/Vatter graves. Chris are you able to check your photos?
