Aldine and Brenda If this family form Madison Co., Arkansas goes back to Warren Co., TN, IT MAY LINK TO THIS FAMILY of William Boyd from Ornage Co, NC:- ? U1? William Boyd, b 15/3/1761 ( , Orange Co., NC), d 14/2/1847 ( , Roane Co., TN), bu Smalley Cemetery, Roane Co., TN , mc / /1776 (church, town, county, state), wife unknown, dau of and (nee ) ????, b / /176x ( ), d / /177x ( ), bu , Orange Co., NC?, and had isuse:- m 2ndly / /1779 (church, town, county, state), Mary Wasson, dau of and (nee ) Wasson, b / /18xx ( ), d / /1785 ( ), bu , and had issue:- m 3rdly / /178x (church, etc) thought to be Mrs Lane, dau of and (nee ) ????, b / /17xx ( ), d / /18xx ( ), bu , and had issue:- ? m 4thly 7/2/1833 (church, town, Roane Co, TN), Nancy Smalley, dau of and (nee ) Smalley, b / /18xx ( ), d / /18xx ( ), bu , and had issue:- ? [Lived: ] The DAR Patriot Index of 1990 has this entry for William Boyd (U1?):- "William: b 3-15-1761 NC d 2-14-1847 TN m (1) Mary Wasson (2) Nancy Small Pvt NC PNSR" - Need to find out what Unit he was with? Richard Hopper said he was at King's Mountain. Mrs Metz said that William only had two sons - John born 9 December 1777 and Henry born 17 April 1780. But other researcher have listed five children to them Does this mean that Mary died in 1780's? If so, why did he wait until 1833 to remarry as he would have had a young family? Then there is the question of the gap between William's (U1?) birth in 1761 and John's (V1) birth in 1777. This would have made William only 15 years old when he married. While possible, it is unlikely even in that time in the frontier. Carol Hall said that Nancy Small was still living with William when he died in 1847, no mention if they had any children. Carol said William is buried at Smalley Cemetery, Roane Co. TN which is on Highway 58 about 5 miles south of Kingston. Carol Hall Bradford said that William was at Kings Mountain, SC, Moore's Creek Bridge, Sullivan's Island and other Battles (which?). Carol Hall said on 3 May 2003 (see CB03010Q) that William first wife was "an unknown lady and had John, what happened , we do not know." When William enlisted he was in Orange Co., NC and was only 16 years old. (QUESTION: where would his wife have lived, with her parents or William's? If William's, and she died shortly after John's birth or having an second child in 1778 or 1779, you might expect to find her in a Cemetery near William's parents house in Orange Co., NC.) V2 Henry Boyd, b 17/4/1780 ( , Orange Co., ?, NC), d 21/4/1846 ( ), bu , m 29/12/1808 (church, town, county, state), Susannah M Baumgartner , dau of and (nee ) Baumgartner, b 19/2/1784 ( ), d 9/9/1858 ( ), bu , and had issue:- [Lived: ] - It is not clear if this HENRY BOYD is the child of William and Mary Wasson (see CB03010Q) - In an Email to BOYD-L Net group by the late Linda Lawhon of Texas, [ch 4/238] on 12 January 1999, she posted this information:- In my "these are not my Boyds" file -- I have some material I copied from "Ansearchin' News" 1969, page 61 (publication of the TN Gen. Soc). The article is entitled "William Boyd" and it was contributed by Mr. Louis Johnson Jr., 729 Woodlawn Dr., Cookeville, Tenn. 38501. It states: "Henry S. Boyd, a son of William Boyd, was born April 17, 1780 and died April 21, 1856. He married Susannah M. Baumgartner who was born Feb. 19, 1784 and died Sept. 9, 1858. A daughter of Henry S. Boyd and Susannah Baumgartner Boyd, Mary Wahoo Boyd was born Dec. 30, 1826 and died Apr 7, 1901. She married Joshua Chrisenberry who was born Nov. 1, 1819 and died July 26, 1874. For more detailed information on the family of Henry S. Boyd see National File 444498, Mrs. Carol Christenberry Greer, of the Daughters of the American Revolution." The above was in response to the following information posted by Linda:- "Has anyone research Henry S. BOYD and his wife Susannah M. BAUMGARDNER. They married 29 Dec 1808. Henry was born 17 April 1780 in VA and died 21 Apr 1856 in Roane Co, TN. I know he had 6 daughters but all names are not known. "This article also states that William Boyd b. 15 Mar 1761 in Orange Co. NC was the son of George Boyd. William m. 1 Mary Wasson and had two sons, John and Henry. William married secondly Nancy Small. William died 14 Feb 1847 in Roane Co. TN. His Rev. War application for a pension is one of those that make the hair of genealogists stand on end. One of the questions asked the applicants was where did they live after serving. William said he had lived in Holton, Tenn, Roan (Rowan) Co. NC, Lincoln Co. NC, Buncomb Co. NC, Anderson Co. TN, Warren Co. TN, Jackson Co. AL, again in Warren Co. TN, and finally in Roane Co. TN. He entered service in Orange Co. NC., served 6 mon. and then moved to Surry Co. NC. where he lived for 4 yrs after his service in the RW.

Thank you very much Rhonda. >From a very quick look at the website entry, this looks like a very good gold mine of information. So if there anyone on this list living in or near Troup Co., GA or in eastern Alabama who could go to the Troup County Archives?

Folks When you post your queries or your problems to the whole Boyd net list you may find some answers. There are many hundreds or thousands on this list, so someone will or might know what you are looking for - in terms of Boyd families or sources to look at to help you find your family. So you may be an "expert" on Warren County, TN but an "novice" when it come to Orange Co, NC. So folks do not hang back as Aldina has. Bring your queries and problems to the notice of the List. I now have some 630 Boyd families listed with either raw data or the family chapter drafted into a family tree. During my trip last year to Scotland, Ireland and the USA I THIK THAT I HAVE COLLECTED OVER 500 New Boyd families. While I was watching the Cricket last nigth was was working on the 31st folder to store my trip papers. I still have 2 more envolopes to sort - so I am not sure how may more folders I have yet to fill before I can start to Indexing process. Then we have State Historian for CT., PA., Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.

Mike, My husband & I were in Scotland this summer and obtained the same booklet I think. But our question is why and when exactly did the Boyds go to Northern Ireland? I always thought it was a polical event, but have no information about it. Our family didn't come to US until 1840's, and then only half the siblings came.

I think I saw at Dublin Airport that Oliver Cromwell sent some 200 people to one of the West Indies Island. So these "migrations" and any publications on them will be quite useful for Boyd families who have early families in NC, SC and Georgia in the later 1600's or early 1700's.

Aldina With yours and Brenda's help I will be able to create a new family Chapter for these Boyd from Madison Co., Arkansas. And you have provided a quite valuable migration path from Warren Co., TN (from central TN) so that Boyd who have family in Warren Co., TN will now be able to look in the Madison Co., area of Arkansas and the Counties around it to see if their Boyd moved as part of that migration. Thank you. I will write to you in a few days about what you know.

Hi Cousins, With the AGM and Mike's trip to Las Vegas now in the planning stages, I thought it might help to share part of an article from Richard Eastman's Online Genealogy newsletter regarding "genealogy conferences". You can sign up for the free edition of the newsletter at this website: http://blog.eogn.com/eastmans_online_genealogy/plusedition.html Maybe there are suggestions here that we can consider before all plans are finalized. Darlene Amark HBS #1239 Eight Tips for Getting the Most Out of Genealogy Conferences - published online with graphics and full formatting at http://eogn.com/wp/?p=14108 on Monday, January 24th, 2011 The benefits of going to genealogy conferences cannot be overestimated. Yes, we can probably sit at home and surf the web or go to local libraries and learn a lot. However, most conferences compress more learning experiences into a day or a few days than what most of us can experience on our own in a year. The two biggest benefits for me have been (1.) learning new things, new ideas, and new approaches to old problems, as well as (2.) getting to meet in person people that have made an impact on me and on genealogy. I attended my first national genealogy conference 23 years ago and have been to more than 100 conferences in four countries since then. Whether you are planning to attend a one-day local conference or a four-day national event, I probably can offer some advice. 1. Prepare yourself. Make sure you are mentally and emotionally ready to interact with a large group at big events. This is not a small, intimate group. Be prepared to meet a lot of people - presenters and attendees alike. Be outgoing, be inquisitive, and smile a lot. People enjoy talking with others who smile. 2. Choose the sessions that best serve your goals. All conferences post their schedules online well in advance of the conference. Some will even post the conference syllabus online a week or two in advance. Take some time to plan the sessions you will attend before you leave home. Make sure you know WHY you want to attend each one. Go to sessions that can advance your learning, expertise, and networking with the "right" people. Keep a calendar of the sessions you plan to attend as it is easy to get distracted when at the conference. 3. Attend luncheons. If the conference features luncheons, make sure you attend. Everyone wants to sit with their friends, but I would suggest that a luncheon is the perfect time to meet new friends. Look to see who else is at the luncheon, and see if you can sit next to someone with whom you would like to have a discussion, be it a speaker or an attendee. You can meet the most interesting people over a meal! 4. Focus on people as well as topics. We all want to learn new techniques or to learn from an experienced researcher. You might want to search for each presenter's name on Google before the conference to learn about that person's credentials and experiences. (Add the word "genealogy" after the person's name when searching.) Not only will you want to listen to that person, but you also may want to introduce yourself after the lecture or meet that presenter later if the opportunity arises. You can ask questions at conferences, unlike reading "how to" articles in books and magazines. 5. Have specific goals in mind. Conferences are great opportunities for networking. You can find more experts at a typical genealogy conference than at any other single location. That includes attendees as well as presenters. Do you see possibilities for collaboration? Do you share research interests? With limited time, having specific reasons and goals in mind can yield very effective results. 6. Bring a jump drive. You can find a lot of information at conferences, from presenters, from vendors, and from other attendees. If it is digital information, you can obtain copies on your jump drive and take all of it home with you. Carrying product brochures and other information on a jump drive is a lot easier than carrying it on paper! All that information is also less likely to get lost when you return home. 7. Make a name tag that lists your genealogy surnames of interest. It isn't high tech but it certainly is a great "ice breaker" to start a conversation. Names tags with surnames of interest usually attract leads from newly-found distant relatives. 8. Do timely follow up. Follow up with a sincere thank you note in email later. Let the organizers know what you liked or didn't like about the conference. Let the presenters know that you appreciated the presentation and especially enjoyed meeting them.

In the book The Boyds of Boyds Tank, by Frank Ewell Boyd & William Taylor Boyd. (1970). 107 p. 71-126643, it outlines part of the family of:- Henry and Susan Heard Boyd lived out their days in the Long Cane community of Troup County. There they died and were buried in unmarked graves in the family cemetery located just west of Long Cane near the Chattahoochee River. They had twelve children, namely: In Chapter V. At the end of that chapter it mentions:- "Mrs. Roland Shaefer Heard, Mrs. Charles Mellard Jamison and Mrs. Julius C. Moore, descendants of Henry and Susan Heard Boyd, are collecting and compiling genealogical data for histories of their respective Boyd-Heard family lines. We drew heavily on their material for this Henry Boyd chapter. They also supplied other genealogical data and otherwise helped in developing the Boyd Story." >From this I would ASSUME that one or all three ladies were doing their own family tree of this Branch of the descendants of George and Isabella Boyd of Chester Co., PA. I have not seen any books or references by these ladies. So can any of our Georgian or Alabama cousins find out they may have deposited something on this family in the Troup County Library please.

You are welcome! I hope the information proves helpful. Another suggestion: write to the county and get the land records. You will be able to track them a little more clearly. Also probate / will. Working from a distance can be a challenge, but know that interlibrary loan can be your friend, as well as your local LDS. Good Luck!

Thank you Robin, a real bowl of Spaghetti you have presented us with. Hopefully it will allow Brenda to "sort" out her family. >From a list I have from 1997 there is this query:- "Mike Carter - m.carter5@genie.geis.com Centerville, GA 31028 Robert BOYD b 1802 TN d Madison Co AR m Elizabeth (children Rbt,Eliza,Isbl,Sara David BOYD b 1802 MO d 1885 Crawford Co AR m Rutha ENLOW" So those entries "MIGHT" stem from one or both these families.

I think that I have seen - in recent times - some references to Boyds of Madison Co., Arkansas. So if your Boyd families came from this County, please let the list and Brenda know.

I have just been told by some privately that it is an 250 mile trip one way. So that will rule that out for me on Friday. So it looks like a bus (or walking) tour of Las Vegas on the Friday morning.

I have just gone and booked my tickets for April and the return trip. On the way home I will be landing in Auckland New Zealand at 5.30 am on Thursday 12 May 2011. I know that there are quite a number of Boyd researchers in Auckland the area around it. So could I get someone )or a group of people) to organise an meeting for me on Thursday evening - say 5 or 6 pm please. I have not booked a motel or Hotel yet, but if someone can suggest some inexpensive accommodation for on the Thursday 14 May, I would be most grateful. This will allow me to tell our New Zealand cousin many of the 900 year old history of Clan Boyd which I have collected over the last 7 years of making trips to Scotland. Thank you Mike Boyd Chairman Historical Committee, HBS

Lauren What "sort" of program are we looking at for this weekend. I was thinking of have the Boyd "history" talk at about 5 or 6 pm - Hopefully at the same hotel we are staying at. However, on the Saturday night - could or should - we go as a group to the Tattoo. I was thinking of "doing" a bus tour around Las Vegas on the Friday morning to see the sites there but a trip to the Grand Canyon might be better - if it can be fittered in, in time. Do any other members have any suggestions or comments on this weekend for the AGM that members can do together. I will be leaving Brisbane on Thursday 14 April and going via Auchland New Zealand, with a few hours stop over at Los Angles before getting to Las Vegas at 6.30 pm on Thursday 14. So I will be ready for bed on getting to the hotel on Thursday night. Mike Boyd Brisbane, Aust.
