Christian I have not yet had time to write to Mindy in Washington co., PA about what is in the Scott Lee Boyd Book of 1935 concerning William's son Robert Boyd. I think Mindy posted something in early November giving the 9 children of William - and with his son Robert Boyd being born in 1728. So after she has had her Christmas pudding Mindy may like to tell us what details on in this book about Robert. Hopefully this will allow others to follow that data to see if more is now available.

Hi Ron -- Care to share the details of your Boyds of York, NY, circa 1860s? If you give us a clue about yours, someone may be able to offer information or a connection. What do you know about them so far and where have you learned it? Keep others from suggesting you look where you've already researched and so they don't spend time doing work you've already done. Merry Christmas! Yours Aye, Lauren On Fri, Dec 24, 2010 at 7:41 AM, Ronald Boyd <reboyd2@hotmail.com> wrote: > > Seeking information re: Boyd's of York, NY, circa 1860's. > > > R.

This is the article that Richard Boswell and Michael Reck compiled in 1998. This goes with letter CB10169 that I have just posted to the list. Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS Early Boyds in York and Cumberland Counties The research on our Boyd Family seems to have lead us to York and Cumberland Counties, Pennsylvania. If our first documented ancestor, Thomas Boyd, was from Warrington Township in York County, then there are possibilities to what Boyd family he may have belonged to. In York County, formed from Cumberland County, there are records of several Boyd groups, but they seem to have been divided between the northen third of York County, and the southern third of that county. Boyds in the northern third left record of themselves in the townships of Reading (now in Adams County), Warrington, and Newberry. Those in the southern third can be found in Shrewsbury, Hopewell, , Heidelberg, and Fawn. The latter group seems to have been researched and documented by other genealogists, leaving no clue that our Thomas Boyd was associated with this group. However, the northern third group does not have that many named in the records, nor has this group been extensively explored. In the 1790 Census of Warrington Twp., York County, there are two Thomas Boyds listed, and as described below, our Thomas Boyd, born about 1753, seems to have been the first one listed with two males aged 16 and over, one male under 16, and four females over 16. The second Thomas Boyd was born approximately 1733/1735, and besides his wife, he is listed with four males under 16, and one female aged 16 and over. From the census, he had three daughters and one son born between 1762 and 1774, and another son born about 1758. It is quite possible that this is the father of the first Thomas Boyd. Among the probate inventories of York County in Warrington Twp. there is a Thomas Boyd who is listed with an inventory in 1763, indicating he died sometime before this date. In Black's Cemetary in Cumberland Twp. (located in the old Digge's Choice Tract), there is buried a Thomas Boyd who died in 1760; and in that same cemetary is buried a William Boyd, who died in 1757. This cemetary is now located in Adams County. It would seem that this Thomas and William were brothers, but no evidence that this Thomas and the Thomas of the 1763 Probate Inventory are the same. It is probable, but not for certain without location of records, that this Thomas Boyd who died before 1763, may have been the father of Thomas Boyd, who appears in among two in 1790, Warrington Twp., York County. Also in the 1790 Census in Warrington Township, there is a George Boyd, and he is no doubt the same who appears in Hellam Twp. in 1762 and in the 1765 Newberry Tax List with 100 acres of land (Newberry sits next to Warrington); and the 1779 Tax List, Warrington Twp. , and in 1783 George appears in Warrington Twp. with 40 acres. In 1790, he is listed with one male aged 16 and over (himself), and two males under 16. No females were listed. He is also the same who left a probate inventory there in 1796. Given the dates available, George was born about 1741. He does not appear in further records to delineate him from any others by that name. In Hellam Twp., there appeared also in 1765 a James Boyd and Andrew Boyd (who is in Hellam Twp. again in 1771). There is also John Boyd, who left a Will in Warrington Twp. in 1770/71. In it he mentions no wife, but children viz. William, Samuel, George, Sarah Leech, Ann Bready, Elizabeth Stedham, and Jane Boyd, and granddaughter Jane Marsh. John does not, naturally, appear in the 1790 Census, and is it likely he was a brother of Thomas (of 1763). The following outline reflect the above group: Thomas Boyd, who left a Probate Inventory in 1763, Warrington Twp., York Co., PA; may be the father of: 1. Thomas Boyd, born about 1733/35, appear in Warrington Twp. in 1790 and was probably the father of Thomas Boyd, Sr. (see below) 2. George Boyd, born about 1741, resided in Hellam Twp., 1762, Newberry Twp., 1765, Warrington Twp., 1790, and there again in 1783; died in 1796, Warrington Twp., York Co., PA 1. son Boyd, under 16 in 1790 2. son Boyd, under 16 in 1790 3.(?)James Boyd, appears in Hellam Twp., York County in 1765 4.(?)Andrew Boyd, appears in Hellam Twp., York County in 1765 and 1771 John Boyd, who left his Will in Warrington Twp., York Co., PA 1770/71; possibly a brother to Thomas Boyd; named a granddaughter Jane Marsh; married 1707 (?), Lurgan, Ireland to Jane Bell; recieved at New Garden Monthly Meeting (Quaker) in 1736 with their seven children: 1.William Boyd, he may be William who later appears in Rye Township in 1800, born ca.1745 2.Samuel Boyd 3.George Boyd, lived in York County and owned land in Somerset Co., PA, died about 1796, York Co., PA; married _____ 1.Ann Boyd 2.James Boyd 3.Rachel Boyd; married William Keys 4.Jane Boyd, born about 1790, Warrington Twp., York Co., PA; married to George Stickel/Stiegel 4.Sarah Boyd; married ___ Leech 5.Ann Boyd; married ___ Bready 6.Elizabeth Boyd; married ___ Stedham 7.Jane Boyd, b.1728; married Jul.1748, Warrington Twp., York Co., PA to Joseph Green, d.1754 1.Joseph Green II; married 1773, Warrington Twp., York Co., PA to Susannah Holland 2.John Green; married 1774 (contrary to discipline in the Quaker faith) to Susannah Hollopeter, daughter of Mathias Hollopeter of Lancaster Co., PA If we look ahead to the 1800 Census in York County, no Boyds appear in the townships of Warrington or Newberry, or in any township in the northern third. All that do appear in York County are residing in Fawn Twp. and nearby townships. In the 1800 Census for Cumberland County, Thomas Boyd appears in Juniata Twp., John Boyd in Hopewell Twp., Jonathon Boyd in Dickenson Twp., Simon Boyd in Carlisle, William Boyd in Rye Twp., and another William Boyd in Newton Twp. Rye, Carlisle, and Juniata townships are later incorporated into Perry County in 1821. BOYD Thomas Boyd, born about 1753/54, possibly in Warrington Twp.,York Co., PA The identity of this Thomas Boyd is confusing since so many of the same name were living in or near the same location at the same time. To correctly identify event with the right person in this case, it is important to work backwards. In the 1820 Census of Greenwood Twp., Perry Co., PA, we find this Thomas Boyd listed with one male between 10 and 16; one male aged 45 and over; one female between 10 and 16; one female between 16 and 26; one female between 26 and 45; and one female aged 45 and over. Greenwood Township was originally formed in 1767 from Fermanagh Township (created 1754), Cumberland Co., PA; and Perry County was formed formed from Cumberland in 1820. In the 1810 Census of Juniata Twp., Cumberland Co., PA, we find Thomas Boyd listed with one son under 10, one son between 10 and 16, one son betwen 16 and 26, two males over 45 (one being himself, the other possibly his father, father-in-law, elder brother or brother-in-law); two daughters under 10, one daughter between 10 and 16, a daughter between 26 and 45, and his wife 45 and over. In the 1800 Census of Juniata Twp., Cumberland Co., PA just he and his wife being listed, both the same age. Juniata Township was formed in 1791 from Rye Township and originally contained Tuscarora, Oliver and part of Miller and Centre Townships. Geographically it seems like the boundaries changed drastically. Perry County was formed in March of 1820 from seven townships in Cumberland County: Tyrone, Toboyne, Rye, Greenwood, Juniata, Buffalo, and Saville. As early as possibly 1810, Thomas Boyd may have been living in that part that was Juniata Twp., Cumberland County. It would seem then that since Thomas' children were obviously born before the erection of Perry County, they were no doubt in Cumberland County for some time. In Cumberland County Church Records of the 18th Century, by F. Edward Wright, marriage licenses issued between Mar. 15,1779 and Oct.1779 include a Thomas Boyd with Margaret Shannon. Based on the Census information, it seems that his eldest child was born before 1774, thus they were married as late as 1773. While there is no defnitive proof that Margaret Shannon was the mother of any of these children, this marriage is a possible candidate for our Thomas Boyd if it were a second marriage. Thomas Boyd would have been married and still had children by the 1790 Census; and the only match that seems to stand out is a Thomas Boyd listed in the 1790 Census, Warrington Twp., York Co., PA with two males 16 and older, four males under 16, and two females 16 and older. We do know that our Thomas Boyd would have had at least possibly two males 16 and older, two males 16 under 16, and at least two females 16 and older. What makes this even more interesting is that another Thomas Boyd appears in the same township, same census with one male over 16, four males under 16, and two females over 16. It would seem likely that our Thomas is the first Thomas mentioned. The next question is where was Thomas Boyd before 1779? Cumberland County covered a large area of uninhabited geography. That part that became Tyrone Township (1754) and later in Perry County, was Indian territory, so this was largely void of the white man. There is one mention of a Thomas Boyd in York County in 1779. In the Tax Assessment of that year there, a Thomas Boyd of Reading appears with 100 acres, one horse, four cattle and was taxed £43, 10s, 4d. It would seem plausible that his Thomas could be the same, and it seems logical that he would have dwelled in York County. At the time of this assessment, he would have been of age to be assessed. Reading Twp. was located in York County until Adams County was formed from York in 1800. Could he have had land in York County as well as Cumberland? No records show that he was assessed for land in Cumberland, but back farther, he was probably the same who fought in the Revolution in Col.Frederick Watt's Battalion in the 6th Company under Capt.Edward Graham. This is important for it also shows another York County connection through his daughter-in-law Susannah Howe. [Mike Boyd's note: In DAR Patriot Index, 1990, list only 7 Thomas Boyd's given with only two having PA connections - Thomas Boyd, b 1754 PA d 11-14-1814 TN m Nancy Ann Martin 2Lt. PA; second Thomas Boyd, b 7-23-1734 PA d 9-22-1778 PA m Catherine Wallace Quartermaster PA] Susannah Howe's father was William How, who lived in Warrington Twp., York Co., PA and he also served in the Revolutionary War. This part of York was much more inhabitable than the wild frontier of Cumberland, but the price of land was too good to pass up. There are a few Boyds that do turn up in early York County: George Boyd appears to have taxable land in both Hellam and Newberry Townships there in 1762 and 1765, a James Boyd and William Boyd also appear in Cumberland that same year. Andrew Boyd then appears in Hellam Twp. in 1771. George Boyd appears again in 1779 in Warrington Twp. with forty acres and in 1783 with fifty acres. In this same list is where Thomas Boyd of Reading appears with 100 acres. From the census records available we may ascertain the children born to Thomas Boyd; as to where they were born, it was likely York County: 1. daughter, born 1773/74 2. son, born between 1774/75 3. son, born between 1778 and 1779 (Hugh Boyd of Toboyne Twp., 1820 and 1830?) 4.Thomas Boyd, Jr., born in 1784 or 1785 (see later) 5.Joseph Boyd, born between 1786/87, may be the one who appears in Buffalo Twp., Perry Co., PA in 1831 with 5 acres; and again in 1838. He may be the "J. Boyd" that appears among the grantors in Perry County land records, with others, to E. & J. Kirkpatrick in 1850. 6. Henry Boyd, born about 1790 (he was between 30 and 40 on the 1830 Census), and appears in Buffalo Twp., Perry Co., PA in 1830 (as Henry Boid); in 1831 he was taxed $84.00. He was married to _____ 1.daughter Boyd, born between 1815 and 1820 2.daughter Boyd, born between 1820 and 1825 3.son Boyd, born between 1820 and 1825 7. daughter, born about 1791 8. daughter, born about 1791 9.Benjamin Boyd, born about 1794 or as early as 1776, York Co., PA. The children of Benjamin were listed as "Pauper's Children" in Perry County in 1824 and 1825, meaning they were children who needed the community to support their education. Benjamin lived in Greenwood Twp., Perry Co., PA near his father (1820 Census), although all of his children do not appear with him. In 1822, the Tax Rolls show no land holdings for him, but only $8.00 worth of cattle. They disappear after 1830. It has been suggested that he may be the same who later appears on the 1840 Census of Licking Co., OH. 1.John Boyd, born 1813, Cumberland Co., PA 2.Sarah Boyd, born in 1815, Cumberland Co., PA 3.Thomas Boyd, born 1817, Cumberland Co., PA 4.Lewis Boyd, born 1817, Cumberland Co., PA 5.Benjamin Boyd, born 1819, Cumberland Co., PA 6.Susannah Boyd, born 1819, Cumberland Co., PA 7. daughter Boyd, born between 1810 and 1819, Cumberland Co., PA 10. daughter, born between 1794 and 1800 11. daughter, born about 1801 12. daughter, born about 1801 13. son, born about 1801 14. son, born between 1805 and 1810 Thomas Boyd, Sr. does not appear on any Census in that area by 1840, so it is assumed he died before that Census was taken, he would have been elderly. He may have died in either Greenwood or Buffalo Twp., Perry Co., PA.

U4 John Boyd, b 1/11/1764 ( , Virginia), d 10/11/1852 ( , Stewart Co., TN), bu , m 10/11/1791 (Church, town, Burke Co., NC ), Elizabeth Leach, dau of John and Margaret? (nee Courtney) Leach, b 19/12/1773 ( , Rowan Co. NC), d 13/6/1863 ( , Trigg Co., KY), bu , and had issue:- [Lived: Stewart Co., TN is just across the KY/TN border from Christian Co., KY. Mary Ellen Boyd spells Margaret's surname as Cortney which may be another spelling variation of Courtney. She has Elizabeth Leach as being born in Burke Co, NC. Burke Co., NC was created from Rowan Co., NC in 1777, so I presume that in 1773, the location was in Rowan County which became part of Burke Co., in 1777. Mary Ellen also said that John was born in York Co., PA not in Virginia as given by Linda Lawhon. As John is 9 years older than Elizabeth, does this mean that he married late or was Elizabeth his second wife?

[NEED TO RENUMBER CHILDREN WHEN MORE ARE LISTED - EXPECT THEY SHOULD FIND AT LEAST 8 OTHER CHILDREN TO FILL IN THE 2 YEAR BIRTH RULE] Mary Ellen Boyd said that "he married a Henderson 1795-1798 in KY or NC (perhaps the daughter of John Henderson, who died 1806 in Iredell County. Aaron says in 1850 affidavit that he is aged eighty years." U7 Joseph Boyd, bc 1773 ( , Burke Co., NC), d 18xx ( ), bu , m ? [Lived: - Mary Ellen Boyd, said "married unknown about 1795 in NC or KY" (i) These are the details given to me over a decade and as you can see there is some doubt concerning some of this data and the locations on this family. I hope that over the next few years that some of these conflicts can be resolved and that additional data on dates and locations can be added to these seven sons. (ii) However, the main purpose of writing is to track this family's migration path and its linkages to other Boyd families. Especially in York Co., PA (iii) I do not know where Robert Boyd, the father [T1] was born but it seems that he was married in 1752 IN PHILADELPHIA, PA to Eleanor McCullough - does anyone know where the McCullough's came from? (iv) You will notice that their first son, William [U1] was born in Philadelphia in about 1754. (v) Then when the second son, Robert [U2] is born in about 1757, he is born in Lancaster County, PA. So the family had moved "west". York County had been cut of from Lancaster County in 1749, so can we assume that the western boundary of Lancaster County would have been the present day boundary between York County and Lancaster County. So what town or township was the family living in Lancaster County after they moved from Philadelphia, PA? (vi) Then when the third son, Thomas was born in 1761, they are living in York County, PA. So this would indicate that the family had move "further west" from Lancaster County. Again we need to find the Town they settled in. When Charlene Kemp and I visited, I think the Lancaster County Library, we found a Map of PA which showed the time and area of each of the new Counties of PA. So I assume that York County of 1761 went much further west than the present day York Co. (vii) Then after 1761 and before 1764, this family have turned south - like many other PA families are said to have done because they could not find land in the "west of PA". By the dates and "assumed" locations, it would appear that moved from one block of land to another over time until they got to Burke Co., NC. So the migration was not one of going straight from York County to North Carolina viii) This is the period of the French and Indian War of 1756-63 in America. I am not sure just how "far west" on PA people could settle in this period either by British Policy or from Indian Attacks. It is known that the Boyds of Shippensburg, Cumberland County, PA were one of these families attached - "Following the burning of the Irish Settlement by Indians in 1756, the Boyds removed to Cumberland County (c1756-1760) as did many other families." - with Nancy Boyd and some of her children being killed. (ix) However, it is this location of "York Co" PA that is interesting. A) In Chapter 4/248 on the Boyds of Perry Co., PA we have this comment:- Richard Boswell in an email to me on 29 April 1998 said "The family of Boyds that settled in what is now Buffalo, Greenwood, and Juniata Townships, Perry Co., PA; had lived in Cumberland County (where Perry County was formed from in 1821). Before that, the early members were living in Warrington Township, York County, PA. There were several other Boyd families in Warrington Township I believe were related, but they should not be confused with the Boyd families that lived in the southern third of York County. I outline this in my research. There are some coincidental aspects that seems to lend itself to the notion that our branch is related to the Rev. Adam Boyd line (see Ch 4/208), but there is no proof yet. The name Thomas in the Boyd family was very common then, so it is hard to place where ours actually came from." The known start with this family outlined in Chapter 4/248 starts with:- R1 John Boyd, b / /1731 ( , Golead Par., Co. Antrim, Ireland), d / /1799 (Baltimore, Baltimore Co., Md.), bu , m /4/1752 ( , , York Co. Pa), Agnes Cooper, dau of and (nee ) Cooper, b 173x ( ), d / /17xx ( ), bu , and had issue:- And it is THOUGHT connected to the family of Captain Adam Boyd in Chapter 6/302 who have the same couple, but very limited details for them. I will post, separately, the research done by Richard Boswell in 1998 about the Boyd families he found in York County, PA. B) He goes onto mention the family of John Boyd and Jane Bell who were married in 1707 in Lurgan, County Armagh, Ireland, then moved to the Ballymoney area of County Antrim and went to the Quaker Church at Ballynacree, just a few miles west of Ballymoney. This John Boyd left his Will in 1770/71 at Warrington Township, PA (however, I am not sure if this is the same Warrington township as in York County or another Warrington Twp. This family also moved to Chester County, PA in about 1736 and is outlined in chapter 5/254. C) SARAH BOYD Egles 4-1-6, Lancaster Co., PA Genealogy: Sarah Boyd and her sister, children of Andrew Boyd, removed to York Co. in 1771. Robt McPherson & Samuel Edie were their guardians. These clearly are not children of Col. Andrew Boyd; he was alive in 1771. (This Andrew Boyd's family is a separate Boyd family to that of Col. Andrew Boyd who was the son of Rev Adam Boyd in Chapter 4/208.) D) "William Boyd and brother Thomas and families York Co. PA the Manor of Manske [now Adams Co.] " [5-267A.doc] I think from other advice that these are two of the sons from Scott Lee Boyd's book of 1934.] E) 1790 US Census entries from 1790cen.doc file.

He appear to have been part of an Presbyterian family which might help in finding records for his parents. R2 Adam Boyd, b 1692 (Ballymoney, Co. Antrim), d 23/11/1768 (Parkesburg, Chester Co.

G) 5/267 BOYD OF BEAVER CREEK, HARRISON Co., KY The origins of this family is from either PA or Va. Where they came from before that has yet to be found. [NEED TO FIND WHAT RELIGION THEY WERE WHICH MIGHT HELP IN FINDING ORIGINS] This family from Beaver Creek, Harrison Co., KY is THOUGHT TO HAVE COME FROM York Co. PA the Manor of Manske [now Adams Co.] AND BEEN A PART OF THE FOLLOWING FAMILY. 1. JOHN1 BOYD was born Abt. 1722 in Pennsylvania, and died March 1770 in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. He married MARY Abt. 1745. Children of JOHN BOYD and MARY are: i. ELIZABETH2 BOYD, b. Abt. 1748. ii. JAMES BOYD, b. Abt. 1749. 2. iii. ROBERT BOYD, b. Abt. 1755, Pennsylvania; d. 1827, Harrison County, Kentucky. iv. WILLIAM BOYD, b. Abt. 1757. v. SAMUEL BOYD, b. Abt. 1759, Pennsylvania. vi. JOHN BOYD, b. Abt. 1762, Pennsylvania. vii. THOMAS BOYD, b. Abt. 1764, Pennsylvania. My CURRENT THEORY is that the family of William Boyd born in the 170x's as outlined in Scott Lee Boyd's book, whom Mindy said was married at age 14 years (which I think is wrong for a boy but perhaps not for an girl of 14 years) MIGHT BE linked to some of the above Boyd families. Hear I am using "the theory of location" and the fact that a number of these families seem to have come from County Antrim Ireland, with a number from the Ballymoney area of Antrim. I THINK that this William Boyd was born earlier than stated by Scott Lee Boyd and MAY BE A YOUNGER BROTHER of John Boyd (b 1690) and Rev Adam Boyd (b 1692). This theory may be tested by using the DNA of these Boyd families from York Co., PA. I am not sure if the Boyd DNA Project has compared the families of John and Rev Adam Boyd with those of William Boyd from Scott Lee Boyd's book. If my GUESS IS CORRECT, there should be only one generation missing.

Mike, As one of the descendants of Robert and Eleanor, and a participant in the Boyd DNA Project (67 marker, and verified Haplogroup R1b1b2a1a1), I would love to explore your theory. Using the knowledge from the DNA project and using the Scottish naming custom to explore outside of the box and think Robert's father was named "William"... but so far it remains only a hypothesis. One of the other layers is to also look at the Boggles and the Leaches, and their migratory routes and immigration. These two families, with the Witherspoons, married into the Boyd family... in ways that remind me of old family alliance marriages. How would this trajectory of inquiry intersect with your running theory? Peace and blessings this Christmastide, Christian Boyd -----Original Message----- From: boyd-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:boyd-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Mike Boyd Sent: Thursday, December 23, 2010 1:36 AM To: BOYD-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [BOYD] Boyds of York Co., PA CB10169.doc 26 Blackhorse Drive Kuraby QLD 4112 Brisbane Australia 20 December 2010 Dear List Seeing that the list is talking about the family of the late Linda Lawhon, I will take a break from my other work and provide you with details that I have and the links to York Co., PA.

(ii) However, the main purpose of writing is to track this family's migration path and its linkages to other Boyd families. Especially in York Co., PA (iii) I do not know where Robert Boyd, the father [T1] was born but it seems that he was married in 1752 IN PHILADELPHIA, PA to Eleanor McCullough - does anyone know where the McCullough's came from? (iv) You will notice that their first son, William [U1] was born in Philadelphia in about 1754. (v) Then when the second son, Robert [U2] is born in about 1757, he is born in Lancaster County, PA. So the family had moved "west". York County had been cut of from Lancaster County in 1749, so can we assume that the western boundary of Lancaster County would have been the present day boundary between York County and Lancaster County. So what town or township was the family living in Lancaster County after they moved from Philadelphia, PA? (vi) Then when the third son, Thomas was born in 1761, they are living in York County, PA. So this would indicate that the family had move "further west" from Lancaster County. Again we need to find the Town they settled in. When Charlene Kemp and I visited, I think the Lancaster County Library, we found a Map of PA which showed the time and area of each of the new Counties of PA. So I assume that York County of 1761 went much further west than the present day York Co. (vii) Then after 1761 and before 1764, this family have turned south - like many other PA families are said to have done because they could not find land in the "west of PA". By the dates and "assumed" locations, it would appear that moved from one block of land to another over time until they got to Burke Co., NC. So the migration was not one of going straight from York County to North Carolina viii) This is the period of the French and Indian War of 1756-63 in America. I am not sure just how "far west" on PA people could settle in this period either by British Policy or from Indian Attacks. It is known that the Boyds of Shippensburg, Cumberland County, PA were one of these families attached - "Following the burning of the Irish Settlement by Indians in 1756, the Boyds removed to Cumberland County (c1756-1760) as did many other families." - with Nancy Boyd and some of her children being killed. (ix) However, it is this location of "York Co" PA that is interesting. A) In Chapter 4/248 on the Boyds of Perry Co., PA we have this comment:- Richard Boswell in an email to me on 29 April 1998 said "The family of Boyds that settled in what is now Buffalo, Greenwood, and Juniata Townships, Perry Co., PA; had lived in Cumberland County (where Perry County was formed from in 1821). Before that, the early members were living in Warrington Township, York County, PA. There were several other Boyd families in Warrington Township I believe were related, but they should not be confused with the Boyd families that lived in the southern third of York County. I outline this in my research. There are some coincidental aspects that seems to lend itself to the notion that our branch is related to the Rev. Adam Boyd line (see Ch 4/208), but there is no proof yet. The name Thomas in the Boyd family was very common then, so it is hard to place where ours actually came from." The known start with this family outlined in Chapter 4/248 starts with:- R1 John Boyd, b / /1731 ( , Golead Par., Co. Antrim, Ireland), d / /1799 (Baltimore, Baltimore Co., Md.), bu , m /4/1752 ( , , York Co. Pa), Agnes Cooper, dau of and (nee ) Cooper, b 173x ( ), d / /17xx ( ), bu , and had issue:- And it is THOUGHT connected to the family of Captain Adam Boyd in Chapter 6/302 who have the same couple, but very limited details for them. I will post, separately, the research done by Richard Boswell in 1998 about the Boyd families he found in York County, PA. B) He goes onto mention the family of John Boyd and Jane Bell who were married in 1707 in Lurgan, County Armagh, Ireland, then moved to the Ballymoney area of County Antrim and went to the Quaker Church at Ballynacree, just a few miles west of Ballymoney. This John Boyd left his Will in 1770/71 at Warrington Township, PA (however, I am not sure if this is the same Warrington township as in York County or another Warrington Twp. This family also moved to Chester County, PA in about 1736 and is outlined in chapter 5/254. C) SARAH BOYD Egles 4-1-6, Lancaster Co., PA Genealogy: Sarah Boyd and her sister, children of Andrew Boyd, removed to York Co. in 1771. Robt McPherson & Samuel Edie were their guardians. These clearly are not children of Col. Andrew Boyd; he was alive in 1771. (This Andrew Boyd's family is a separate Boyd family to that of Col. Andrew Boyd who was the son of Rev Adam Boyd in Chapter 4/208.) D) "William Boyd and brother Thomas and families York Co. PA the Manor of Manske [now Adams Co.] " [5-267A.doc] I think from other advice that these are two of the sons from Scott Lee Boyd's book of 1934.] E) 1790 US Census entries from 1790cen.doc file. BOYD, Andrew PA Co:York Twp: Unknown BOYD, Archibald PA Co:York Twp: Unknown BOYD, George PA Co:York Twp: Warrington (This MIGHT BE R1/S4 in ch 5/254) BOYD, John PA Co:York Twp: Fawn (Ralph Boyd letter - CB03014) BOYD, John PA Co:York Twp: Unknown BOYD, Robert PA Co:York Twp: Unknown BOYD, Thomas PA Co:York Twp: Warrington BOYD, William PA Co:York Twp: Unknown F) 4/208 BOYD OF OCTORARA, CHESTER Co. & LANCASTER Co., PENNSYLVANIA (formerly of BALLYMONEY, Co. ANTRIN, IRELAND) While Adam Boyd (R2) is said to have been born in Ballymoney, Ireland, his parents are not known at this time. He appear to have been part of an Presbyterian family which might help in finding records for his parents. R2 Adam Boyd, b 1692 (Ballymoney, Co. Antrim), d 23/11/1768 (Parkesburg, Chester Co. PA), bu United Congregation of Upper Octorara, Lancaster Co., PA, m 23/10/1725 ( , ), Jane Creaghead/Craighead, dau of Rev Thomas and Margaret (nee Wallace) Creaghead, of White Clay, b 17xx (Ireland), d 9/11/1779 ( ), bu and had issue:- [Lived: ] S3 Janet Boyd, b 18/3/1730 ( , Chester Co. PA), d 22/5/1796 ( , NC/SC?), bu , m 12/12/1754, Rev. Robert McMordie, son of and (nee ) McMordie, b 17xx ( ), d 22/5/1796 ( ), bu , and had issue:- ? [Lived: ] - Robert McMordie was ordained by Donegal Presbytery, in 1754, pastor of Upper Marsh Creek and Round Hill (near York) "Lancaster, now [1885] York Co." G) 5/267 BOYD OF BEAVER CREEK, HARRISON Co., KY The origins of this family is from either PA or Va. Where they came from before that has yet to be found. [NEED TO FIND WHAT RELIGION THEY WERE WHICH MIGHT HELP IN FINDING ORIGINS] This family from Beaver Creek, Harrison Co., KY is THOUGHT TO HAVE COME FROM York Co. PA the Manor of Manske [now Adams Co.] AND BEEN A PART OF THE FOLLOWING FAMILY. 1. JOHN1 BOYD was born Abt. 1722 in Pennsylvania, and died March 1770 in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. He married MARY Abt. 1745. Children of JOHN BOYD and MARY are: i. ELIZABETH2 BOYD, b. Abt. 1748. ii. JAMES BOYD, b. Abt. 1749. 2. iii. ROBERT BOYD, b. Abt. 1755, Pennsylvania; d. 1827, Harrison County, Kentucky. iv. WILLIAM BOYD, b. Abt. 1757. v. SAMUEL BOYD, b. Abt. 1759, Pennsylvania. vi. JOHN BOYD, b. Abt. 1762, Pennsylvania. vii. THOMAS BOYD, b. Abt. 1764, Pennsylvania. My CURRENT THEORY is that the family of William Boyd born in the 170x's as outlined in Scott Lee Boyd's book, whom Mindy said was married at age 14 years (which I think is wrong for a boy but perhaps not for an girl of 14 years) MIGHT BE linked to some of the above Boyd families. Hear I am using "the theory of location" and the fact that a number of these families seem to have come from County Antrim Ireland, with a number from the Ballymoney area of Antrim. I THINK that this William Boyd was born earlier than stated by Scott Lee Boyd and MAY BE A YOUNGER BROTHER of John Boyd (b 1690) and Rev Adam Boyd (b 1692). This theory may be tested by using the DNA of these Boyd families from York Co., PA. I am not sure if the Boyd DNA Project has compared the families of John and Rev Adam Boyd with those of William Boyd from Scott Lee Boyd's book. If my GUESS IS CORRECT, there should be only one generation missing. The footnotes to this letter will not come out on the Boyd@rootsweb.com list, so those of you who wish to get these should Email me privately and I can send it to you as an attached document. ? I look forward to hearing from you in the future. Kind regards Mike Boyd Chairman Historical Committee, HBS

I think Nancy meant to post this to the whole list.

He was b. abt 1835/36 in Patrick County, VA. He later married Sarah Wyatt, 27 Jul 1865 in Catlettsburg, KY. They had Anna Laura Boyd and Ulysses Grant Boyd. Anna married Johnathan Morris Lyons who then had my husband's grandfather. There is an old family story that has been passed down but I've yet to prove it. Perhaps someone on this site may have heard it as well. Supposedly someone in this line was an Indian chief by the name of Mendaho, either a Boyd or Wyatt. This has been shared with me by several family members in years past. I have a picture of Anna that does resemble one of Indian heritage but again, that's not proof either. I do not know Ewell's (also written Yewell) lineage but do know Sarah Wyatt decends from Reuben Wyatt and Magdeline Kincaid. I'd appreciate any help with this particular line if anyone knows anything.

It would appear that this family of James Mitchel Boyd was also referred to in a book in 1911:- Past and Present of Hardin County, Iowa, ed. by William J. Moir. Indianapolis: B. F. Bowen, 1911. James Mitchell Boyd, pp. 568-572 In perusing the life-history of so sterling and useful a citizen as the late James Mitchell Boyd, of Hardin County, one quite naturally gathers new inspiration and courage to struggle on up the steeps, for it abounds both in lesson and incentive and the young man hesitating at the parting of the ways could do no better than to take his career as an object from which to pattern his individual course and thus attain the goal sought. Mr. Boyd was born in Allegheny county, Pennsylvania, eighteen miles north of Pittsburg, February 12, 1828, of Highland Scotch-Irish and Holland ancestry. The paternal grandfather emigrated from Ireland about 1785, when but seventeen years old. He first settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, but afterwards moved to Westmoreland county, that state, where he devoted his life to farming. He took an interest in public affairs and became magistrate. He married Nancy Namdyne, a native of Delaware, a descendant of the earliest Holland emigrants to that state. They became the parents of thirteen children. Robert Boyd served on the staff of General Crooks as judge advocate in the war of 1812. His death occurred during the Civil war at a very advanced age. James Boyd, father of James M. Boyd, of this review, was born near old Fort Ligonier, Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, October 2, 1802. He began life for himself when a mere boy by clerking in a store, which work he continued during his minority. In 1823 he married Sarah Boyd, a descendant of the Boyd family who came to the United States in 1772. Hear it said that his father was born near "Fort Ligonier" and not "Fort Sigonier" as given in this website. Which location is correct? Charlene, I will write to you privately concerning making this a new family chapter in Volume 25. Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS PS Thank you Kim for posting this website and find another Boyd family. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kim Boyd" <KBoyd_TrustnHisWord@ez2.net> To: "Boyd List" <Boyd-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, December 22, 2010 5:34 AM Subject: [BOYD] Boyds in Hardin County, Iowa 1883,Also Allegheny Co.

Kim, Charlene and Mindy (and others) I have had a quick look at the website that you mentioned and it would appear:- James Mitchell Boyd's father James Boyd married in 1823 to a Sarah Boyd who was the granddaughter of a John Boyd who arrived in the USA in 1772. T1 John Boyd, b 1734-1740 ( , Coleraine, Co. Londonderry, Ireland), d 6/5/1817 ( , Worthington, PA), bu , m / /1766 ( Londonderry [Town or County?], Ireland), Mary Fulton, dau of Abraham and Margaret (nee Guthrie/Guthrey) Fulton, bc 1750 (Articlave, Co. Londonderry , Ireland), d / /1825 ( ), bu , and had issue:- [Lived: ] - Details? [1] Abtraham Fulton (c1712-1800) and Margaret Guthrie were members of First Dunboe Church in Articlave, Co. Londonderry, Ireland [from Fulton Web page page 6]. Was this a Presbyterian Church? [Ask William Jones] - [need to ask William Jones, if on 1995 Fulton trip to Ireland and Scotland if they had contact for this Church, if it still operating.] - CAN IT BE FOUND if John Boyd (T1) was a member of this church and any other Boyd relatives? [2] The Abraham Fulton carried with him the following Church Certificate: "Whereas Abram Fulton with his wife and Family are now removing from this country to the continent of America, this is to inform who it may concern, that they were born and lived until the date hereof in this and behaved in a sober and Christian manner and now leave us free from any public scandall or with censure" Certified at Articlave, in the Kingdom of Ireland this 26th day of May 1772. signed by W. Know, VDM (From the Email of 1 December 1998 from AQUILLAHE@aol.com to kswtzel@HOTMAIL.COM) [Is this the full Certificate? [3] The above Certificate would suggest that Abraham and Margaret Fulton always lived in Articlave. But Lynn Stewart in an Email of 7 December 1998 said that her new found cousins "said James Boyd came from Fintona, Co Tyrone. As did Bridget." [see Chapter 5/278] [This James and Bridget are thought to be related to John Boyd (T1) above.] [4] If the Fulton's had such a letter/certificate from the Church, would there also be one for John Boyd and his family or the other Boyd's? [ask the fulton's initially if such a letter could be found in Church records?] John Boyd is said to have come from Coleraine which is some 6 km or 4 miles SE of Articlave. Is it possible that the Presbyterian? church in Coleraine might have issued such a letter for the Boyd's rather than Articlave? [5] It appears that the Boyd's and Fulton's left Ireland on the ship General Wolfe, Captain Hunter, from Londonderry, Ireland which sailed on 25 June 1772 and arrived on 16 October 1772 at Hampton Roads, VA. - The New York Journal, 29 Oct. 1772 said "This ship it is said had been seventeen weeks on the passage, nearly half the time at short allowance, came out with 300 of whom about 80 died at sea of mere want and the disorders arising from it, in drinking salt water, etc. Part of the time the allowance was half a biscuit and half a pint of water a day." - "About 50 passengers left the ship near the Capes and went off to Baltimore in Maryland." - [Fulton tradition said that Abraham Fulton and family were among this 50.] Does that include John (T1) and Mary? - "80 of them were the same afternoon landed at Hampton mere skeletons, so weak that they could hardly walk or stand, and most of them without any money for their support. The inhabitants charitably took care of them and supplied them with necessities, " [WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REMAINING 90?] [6] From the Fulton Web Page it said all the family of Abraham and Margaret Fulton came on the General Wolfe. I would estimate this would be:- - Abraham and Margaret Fulton - their 9 children born between 1747-1759 of which Mary Fulton and John Boyd had 2 children by 1772. [NEED TO ASK FULTON'S HOW MANY OTHER GRANDCHILDREN CAME ON TRIP?] - ESTIMATE GROUP WAS 14 people in total. [7] From the Email by AQUILLAHE of 1 December 1998 said "When Abraham Boyd arrived with his family at the port of Londonderry, Ireland to set sail for America, the ship's captain flatly refused to let the hugh tribe of Boyds set sail. They were instead put into quarantine because young Abraham and his brother John had smallpox. While waiting out the period, the Boyds learned that the ship they originally were to have sailed on foundered at sea with loss of all lives onboard. "Among the considerable family group, really a Fulton migration, was Abraham's (U2) father John (T1), his wife Mary Fulton Boyd and her entire family of parents, brothers and sisters." - Abraham was about 18 months old when the ship sailed from Londonderry which is not how the above quotation might be read ie that Abraham Boyd brought his parents across the Atlantic. - [CAN THE QUARANTINE LIST FOR JUNE 1772 LONDONDERRY BE FOUND? OR DID IT EVER EXIST?] [8] The term "the hugh tribe of Boyds" in point 7 does not ring true. There were only 4 Boyd's as part of the Fulton's. Even for the current time 4 people would not be regarded as a hugh number, especially when families of this period were often consisted of 10 or more children. This would suggest possible other Boyds were in this party in Quarantine and on the shipping list for the General Wolfe. - could this mean that John Boyd's (T1) parents and their children (and possibly grandchildren) where in this "hugh tribe." Perhaps John father might have been friends with Abraham Fulton and the 2 families decided to move to America. The other possibility is that there was a group of Presbyterian Boyd's from this area who decided to go with the Fulton's to America. I have Boyd families from Macosquin, Aghadowey and Ballymoney, all within 10 km of Coleraine. - is there an immigration list available for October 1772 for Baltimore, MD, or were no records kept? [9] From the Fulton Web Page, p 7 it has the following on how and where the Fulton's settled in Westmoreland Co. PA but it does not say where the Fultons lived after they landed at Baltimore, MD or when this journey took place. [Mike Boyd - I would assume that John Boyd and Mary Fulton were also part of this migration. Are there any records from cemetery to confirm Boyd's who are buried there?] (FFL 89:73) "JOURNEY ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS The journey across the mountains must have been most arduous and perilous. The only means of locomotion was on foot or by horseback. The only road was that created by the soldiers of General Forbe's or General Braddock's armies a few years before, a mere mountain trail and now roughly the course of the Lincoln Highway (U.S. 30) and the National Highway (U.S.40). FULTON FAMILY ON WESTERN SIDE OF MOUNTAINS The Treaty of Peace, closing the French and Indian conflict, had scarcely been signed, assurance given that the Western woods were really British lands, then a tide of men swept down from the East to occupy the broad, beautiful acres open to settlement. ...The Fulton Family located in the Sewickley Settlement near the Big Sewickley Creek in what is now called South Huntingdon Township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. In this region they lived the lives of frontier pioneers, farmed, raised numerous offspring, served their newly adopted country in the Revolutionary War, went to church in crude log structures, died, and are buried in the old country graveyards which endure to this day." ? [10] Need to get list of other Boyd's buried at Bull Creek Church from Kim Wetzel [11] John is listed in the DAR Index as follows:- "John: b c 1740 IR d 5-6-1817 PA m Mary Fulton PM PA" ? [12] Given the gap in the 2 year birth pattern of this family Mike Boyd would not be surprised to see that a child was born in 1772 (who if the account of the voyage given above is correct, might have died during the voyage) and a second child might have been born about 1782. There is a 9 year gap between Margaret (the current 8th child) and Joseph (the current 9th child), this to me would suggest possible other children born to them. Perhaps these died at birth or infancy I have been given details of son Robert Boyd born to John Boyd and Mary Fulton but this Robert only lived an day:- U5 Robert Boyd, b 8/3/1779 (Derry, Westmoreland Co., PA), d 8/3/1779 ( ), bu . While this family is said to have had only 9 children, if this statement from the website is true, it woudl mean a second son Robert was born to them and was the 10th child. I will now search and see if I can find the Robert Boyd who was grandfather on this James Mitchell Boyd's father's side of the family and who married Nancy Namdyne whose family came from Holland. This MIGHT be another Boyd family for Volume 25. So another Boyd family in Westmoreland Co., PA If there are any members of either of these two Boyd families please let the list know, so you can help to add more details to both families.
