Mike, I'm working on your Jane Boyd already to see what I can find. Paxtang is just a suburban area east of Harrisburg in central PA, about 45 minutes east of where I live. It's in Dauphin County now. Shippensburg is in Cumberland County and it's just about 15 minutes from my house. I was working in their genealogy research library last week. They have a very good one. Let me know if there is something specific you want to know about this Jane, or are you just trying to link her to her family of Boyds? In the meantime, I've got my files opened..........

Dave Do you know Margaret Jane Boyd's parents or any further back before her? When I was in the US last year, Chris Smithson took me to the Quarryville cemetery - both of them - where we found many Boyd graves. I know that Chris took a lot of photos but can't recall any Boyd/Vatter graves. Chris are you able to check your photos?

Dave, If you could provide dates of birth and death for Margaret or her sister Rachel? I may have some information in my Boyd files for Lancaster County.
