Just realised that I forgot to ask list members about the brothers John Boyd and David Boyd. So is any list member researching these two? Or do they also occur in Buncombe Co., NC records? When I check the 1790 US Census I could only find these John Boyd but no David Boyd (So had David moved on or was he living with his brother as the head of the House) BOYD,John NC Co:Halifax Twp:Unknown BOYD,John NC Co:Chatham Twp:Unknown BOYD,John NC Co:Lincoln Twp:Unknown BOYD,William NC Co:Lincoln Twp:Unknown BOYD,John NC Co:Montgomery Twp:Unknown Can anyone identify which family any of these entries came from please Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Boyd" <mikejboyd@bigpond.com> To: "Mindy Householder" <minzgen@gmail.com>; <Boyd@rootsweb.com> Cc: <dawn1967@yahoo.com> Sent: Monday, February 28, 2011 10:27 AM Subject: Re: [BOYD] Ervin Taylor Worley and Lura Boyd - North Carolina,Buncombe C., Sandy Mush Creek > Mindy > > James Boyd was born in Ireland on February 4, 1769.
