Barb, you say that Nancy was born 27 May in PA. Do you know the year, the county, the town? Looks like you've really been working on this, but it will be easier for us to help you if we have the above information. Thanks! Charlene Boyd Kemp In a message dated 6/2/2011 3:34:07 P.M.

I'm sorry I left out Nancy's year of birth. It was 1812. I also need to add that some census records say she was born in PA and others say OH. I have had a request from someone on the list, to show which Boyd families in the 1820 and 1830 Jefferson Co., OH census records have a female that would have been Nancy's age. I am currently working on compiling all of that info together. It is taking me sometime, because I have it on separate papers . I will post it hopefully tomorrow. Looking at these records again is giving me some ideas. I appreciate everyone's input and challenges.
