This Thomas Boyd seems to be the son of Robert Boyd and Eleanor McCulloch. He was born 03/10/1761 and died 11/24/1846 in Callaway Co. Mo. He married Grezelda Allen on 03/210/1787. (DAR Patriot index (1966) p 77. "Daughters of the American Revolution Lineage Book." (a) Vol. 63,p.84. Lineage of Miss Grace Boyd 62254. Appears to have had 7 Children John Eleanor b. 01/19/1788 Robert b. 1789 Jane b. 01/26/1793 Joseph b. 10/07/1798 Thomas b. 05/29/1801 There is also mention of another John born 11/09/1796. This is a bit confusing and could be an error. Could also be that the first John died and they used the name again. Have heard of that but would not take the information on John without further evidence. USE WITH CAUTION AND ONLY WHEN CONFIRMED!

Darlene I will shortly write to Bob Boyd of Nashville, TN to see what can be done on Wednesday 4 May 2011 to organise a meeting in Nashville. I have booked a flight out of Memphis on Friday 6 May - leaving 9.30 am arriving in Phoenix 11.08 am and then at 1.35 pm leaving for Sacramento, arriving 3.33pm So hopefully, on Thursday morning I can get from Nashville to Memphis, TN. So how close to the TN border are your relatives in Alabama? Or is there an member/s of this list in or around Memphis TN or across the river in Arkansas whom may also be able to assist with arranging a meeting in or near Memphis, TN that would allow me to fly out on Friday morning.

Are any of our cousins in Indiana familiar with this Library? And would you like to take on the task of "searching" it for known Boyd family trees? So they can be added to the 620 know Boyd families that we have collected so far. The "searching" does not have to be done yesterday!! But when your family life gives you time. When I go to Scotland and Ireland, I do what I call vacuuming for Boyd information in the Library that I am visiting. So over the last 7 years I have found quite a number of "new" or unknown Boyd families to me which will allow the Clan Boyd Pyramid to be further developed..

Are there any members on this list that live in Eastern or central Ohio that would like to help organise a meeting of Boyd in your area about Thursday 21 April? This area was quite popular with Boyd families in the 1800's but I have no idea if any Boyd or Boyd descendants are living in this region today. Thank you Mike Boyd Chairman Historical Committee, HBS

Charlene: take a look at the "Manor of Maske" Boyds. He could be descended from one of the sons of Thomas Boyd who died in 1760, leaving oldest son William to raise his siblings, among them a son Andrew. Or his brother William Boyd who died in 1785.

If you go to Rootsweb World Connect at: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi Enter Thomas Boyd 1761, Pennsylvania. There are 25 researchers for Thomas, including Linda Lawhon, who updated last in April 2003. There seems to be quite a bit of information there. Be sure to look at each researcher.

Well, he's there now! I haven't found him, but I haven't yet searched each and every file. Maybe Mike will add some info here. I take it there is no info about him after the age of 15 or about his move to MO? Does anyone else on the list know this Thomas? Thanks, Colin!

Hi Mike, Some of my Boyds live in the Athens/Huntsville area of Alabama, which is around 100 miles south of Nashville, Tennessee. Others are closer to Birmingham, Alabama which about 200 miles south of Nashville. Good luck!

Dear Cousins! Good News! I have just read an email from Don Houk. He's ok! He was on the 20th floor of a building when the quake hit and is now safely at home. He reports that there are aftershocks every 10-20 minutes. He also said, "While effect in Tokyo proper has been minimal, devastation in NE rural communities & unbelievable loss of property & life fromTsunami along east coast of Japan absolutely boggles one's mind."

Do we have this Thomas Boyd in the books?? State of Missouri Calloway County: SS On this 20th day of August in the year 1833 personally appeared in open court before the County Court of Calloway County now sitting, Thomas Boyd Senior a resident of said County of Calloway in the State of Missouri aforesaid, aged seventy-two years and upwards who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following statement in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7th 1832 – I was born on the 10th of March in the year 1761 in York County Pennsylvania according to the uniform statements of my Father and to the registry of my age which I have seen in my Father's Bible – what has become of that Bible I cannot tell, but suppose it to be in possession of someone of my family in North Carolina, to which State I removed along with my Father and family when I was about eight years of age – My Father then settled with his family in what was then called Berk [sic, Burke] County close to the line of Rowan County – I remained there with my Father and mother until I was about 15 years old

Dear Cousins: The Tsunami has hit Hawaii and now the West Coast of the USA is being affected. http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/livenow?id=8007618 Seems to be the best source so far. Local news, rather than National news seem to be talking of what is in the moment, not what happened 4 hours or more ago. Santa Cruz, home of the Santa Cruz Scottish Games... and where Kevin and I were married has been affected. I have many friends and some family there. It is not far from where Michael and Sally Boyd of Scot's Valley live --- however, they are on high ground.

Judith I have to be at Greensboro, NC by mid afternoon on Friday 29 April. So if we work backward from there. How far are you from Boonesville, NC where Michelle Legon lives. I think she is about 2-3 hours from Grensboro (and assuming she will give me some space in her car for the trip). Michelle may also wish me to talk to the local newspaper in Boonesville. So could you get me from Pikesville to Boonesville on Friday morning. We may also need an hour - over coffee - to talk to Michelle, as well in that time period. So if I aim to get to Pikesville on Wednesday "afternoon" I would be quite happy to talk to people either Thursday morning or Thursday early evening. Or if you wish to go to another close by County, I could do one in the morning and one in the evening at two different venues. At this stage, I seem to have been organised to Wednesday 20 April at Dayton, OH. I am hoping that I can get someone's help to organise a meeting in or near Columbus and eastern Ohio - such as Cleveland or Coshocton, Tuscarwas, Guernsey or Belmont County area. I expect that I will then in the Pittsburgh,Washington Co., PA for a few days about 24-25 April. Now that I have cleared this mornings mail, I can back to writing to you.

Dear Cousins: It is on the news that an 8.9 Earthquake has hit Japan. Fortunately, it was at approximately 2pm and daylight. There have been two tidal waves reported.
