Jonette I this good that your father has done the DNA test. This will allow us to make up a possible trail for your ancestors. 2) William Boyd death in 1854 in Dallas Co. Iowa - what infromation do you have from it. Does his death certificate show his parents? If not see if there was a County Newspaper for that period and see if his death is recorded in it? Hopefully this will give his parents which will allow the lsit to search on those names. 3) I have part of the family of Thomas Boyd and Susannah Howe. The information that I have on htis couple is:- Thomas Boyd Jr was born 1784/5 probably in Jaunita Twp., Cumberland Co., PA, although some census reports say he was born in MD, he could have even been born in York Co., PA; he married about 1810 in Cumberland or York to Susanna Howe, b.Aug.22,1786, Warrington Twp., York Co., PA. They lived in that part of Cumberland Co. that became Perry Co. in 1820. Susanna died Apr.13,1855 in Buck's Valley, Buffalo Twp., Perry Co., PA and was mother to nine children, most of which migrated west to Ohio and beyond. Thomas eventually moved to Darke Co. , OH where several of his children had gone, and he remarried to Rachel Paulus, widow of Joseph O. Keltner, in 1856. Thomas and Rachel appear on the 1860 Census there, but that same year, Thomas moved into the home of his daughter Rebecca near Angola, IN, alone. This family planned to move west and Thomas was sent to live with his son William in Dallas Co., IA. Thomas died Jan.31,1871 in Dallas Co., IA. There are quite a number of members of this family researching and I have partof this family outlined in ch 4/248 in Boyd from Jaunita, Perry Co. (formerly Cumberland Co) PA So you William Boyd MIGHT BE a younger brother!! While I have this second link to Dallas Co., Iowa:- Doyce A.

Mike and Boyd list I have finally had the opportunity to pursue some of the information I was given after dealing with a career change and move (always fun) My William Boyd does not have a dealth certificate as Dallas Co did not record at that time. I do however have a scrap of information from a cousin that shows William was from Juanita Township Cumberland Co PA.....althuogh I have been unable to verify this myself. I am VERY interested in the family that you, Mike, listed as coming from that township as I'm not so sure that the birth year I have for William is totally accurate. It seems that the family lost all contact with others. How do I get a copy of the chapter you were speaking of regarding this other Boyd family?
