Do any list members know of the family of:- Thomas Boyd (1734 - 1719) - he was most likely born in Leeds area of England or the Midlands of England - and his wife Elizabeth Bennett, daughter of Governor of Virginia. The given children are:- James Boyd, b 1658 Richard Boyd, b 1660 Thomas Boyd, b 1662 John Boyd, 1670 William Boyd, 1672 Benjamin Boyd, b 1674 I WOULD ASSUME form the gap between Thomas and John Boyd that other children were born to this couple - perhaps some girls or children whom died at birth. I would estimate that Thomas, the father, was married to Elizabeth about 1657. However, the source does not say if this was in England or America. >From the dates given it would appear that the person doing this tree came from the USA. Can some volunteer to research Governor Bennett's family of Virginia please to see if we can get some details from the spouse family on this Boyd family Thank you Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS
