Mike, for family #3, I think we have this family listed under Hugh instead of William. Hugh was in Patrick County and I don't know anything about this William that you have down as going to KY and dying in Illinois. You must have skipped a line as you were transcribing. I also don't have the first person, Henry, on the list of Hugh's children. I do have a Nancy Boyd however who married Abraham Reynolds. Others on the Boyd List: Is this the way you have it also? Thanks! Charlene Boyd Kemp In a message dated 4/1/2011 9:40:19 P.M.

If you connect and can tell which partof Patrick County each of these Boyd families came from that would be a great help to see which of the 2 groups of Boyds they are linked to and therefore help sort out whihc BOYD FAMILIES MIHGT BE LINKED TO EACH OTHER.
