Came across this while researching another family. This is all the info I have. Note: this in not my grandfather. The following information is from my grandfather's Bible: W. A. Horton married Elizabeth Boyd in 1829 -- Elizabeth Boyd born 1809 in Berlin Germany William A. Horton, Jr. married Elizabeth A in 1854 (I believe this to be Amanda) M. T. Horton married Mary Rowe in 1874( This is your gg grandfather) H. M. Horton married Rosie Reeves in 1876 Maggie Horton married A. J. Reeves in 1876 W. J. Horton married Lizzie Blair in 1882 Isabelle Horton married Ed Heath in 1889 The area seems to be around Talledaga Co. Alabama. I found it interesting that the claim is she was born in Berlin, Germany. Hope this helps someone. Larry Horton

Larry Can you give the source or reference for this data please. And did it tell you how the person's was that was providing data from his grandfather's Bible. Secondly, while I do not directly have any Boyds from Germany, it does not surprise me Elizabeth Boyd could have been born in Berlin, Germany. I think that you will find quite a number of Boyd families in many of the European Countries over time - even going back to the 1400's or before. We all know the story of Thomas Boyd, Earl of Arran, going back to Denmark in 1469 after he had relieved the King's bride. While France seems to have been a place for "forced holidays" when various Boyd picked the wrong side in Scottish Conflicts. We also had quite a number going there for University studies as well. Hopefully, the snow has now cleared in USA and other northern hemisphere countries, so people can get to their libraries. JUST REMEMBER TO TELL THE LIST WHEN YOU FIND ANOTHER BOYD FAMILY THAT IS NOT YOURS.
