I have a brick wall at James Boyd b. 1751 Kevin and Jean, his mother, were at Betsy Johnson’s in Ft Worth but didn’t have a family tree to give to Mike so: Kevin Boyd b. 1955>Henry Madison b. July 1916>James Madison b. 1862>Louis G. b. 1836>Elijah Louis b.1808>James b. 1751 Culpeper Co VA. This is the brick wall. The information of James was in a family Bible in the possession of Mary Boyd Schuler when I read it back in the 70’s. This Bible (Boyd-Schuler Bible) now I presume is in the Library in New Albany Indiana. Does anyone have information of his marriage to Phebe Webster/ his parents or siblings? There were 13 children from this marriage. Was there an earlier marriage?/ children??? There is a Jim Holtman in New Castle VA who is a “cousin”.

Could this be James Boyd born to John Boyd from my family tree?

Jean Good that you are advertising your family and this blockage. Culpeper County, Va was formed in 1748 from Orange County, VA - with both being in the Northern part of Virginia. From the County map it would appear to be on a river that runs directly into the Ocean. So this raises the QUESTION did James Boyd family come directly from Overseas to Culpeper County, VA or were they part of the MIGRATION out of PA? Walter Boyd, the State Historian for VA may have some knowledge on where the Boyds of Culpeper County, VA came from. There is no 1790 VA Census to check if the family were still there in 1790. The details I have on James Boyd and Phebe Webster are:- U1 James Boyd, b 5/8/1751 ( , Culpepper Co.,VA), d 20/1/1852 ( , Switzerland County Indiania), bu , m / /179x (church, town, county, VA), Phebe Webster, dau of and (nee ) Webster, b / /1778 ( , VA), d 2/6/1865 ( , Switzland Co., Indiana), bu , and had issue:- [Lived: ] - [RAN ISYS CHECK ON SPOUSES NAMES FOR CHILDREN BUT COULD NOT FIND ANY MATCHES] - With James being about 47 years old when he married Phebe Webster, it does raise the question if he was married previously. He is not in the DAR 1990 Patriot Index. Suggested to group may need to look at Virginia Substitute Index for 1790 and or the Census for 1800, 1810 and 1820 to see if any additional children in his household. While other sources say that James was married in 1797 Vivian Chase in a E-mail to me on 18 December 2002 James Boyd and Phebe Webster were married in Bedford Co., VA, From VA marriage list we have these James Boyd's in Bedford Co., VA. BOYD,James GILBERT,Hannah 1779 Bedford Co. BOYD,James WEBSTER,Phebe 1797 BOYD,James STEVENSON,Jane 25 Feb 1772 Bedford Co. BOYD,James GIBSON,Hannah 08 Sep 1779 Bedford Co. As you may know that Bedford County is in the South Western section of Virginia, so I am not sure if he may have made one or several moves "west" to get land to farm. With this age gap of some 47 years before James was married ALSO RAISES QUESTIONS. We know that he had 13 children with Phebe Webster. So was this James Boyd married previously - unlikely by the number of children. Therefore, I would question if this James Boyd who married Phebe Webster in 1797 is the same James Boyd who was born in Culpeper Co., Va in 1751. Do any members of the list have any views?

Jean I was just checking where the 13 children of James Boyd and Phebe Webster were born. I have the first one born in Va in 1798 and the other 12 in KY - with about listed as being born in Bracken County, KY. This was formed in 1795 from Campbell and Mason Counties. However, I noticed in the subsitute Census for KY that there were these Boyd listed for Bracken Co., KY BOYD,James KY Co:Bracken Twp:Unknown BOYD,John KY Co:Bracken Twp:Unknown BOYD,Samuel KY Co:Bracken Twp:Unknown BOYD,Thomas KY Co:Bracken Twp:Unknown BOYD,William KY Co:Bracken Twp:Unknown However, I am not sure if they had any connectioin to the family of James Boyd and Phebe Webster. James's eldest son was called John Boyd. So PERHAPS the second entry of John Boyd, might be James's father, with perhaps 4 brothers. Does anyone have any data on these Boyd families?
