This Boyd is the grand son of George and Isabella Boyd of Chester Co., PA through their son Patrick. However, form the Salymaker Papers I have only found 6 children. Milly, the 2nd John, Nancy and James R are new children to me. I did find some data on this family during my trip, but I have yet to get to that in my sorting process. So hopefully I can confirm this in a few weeks time. There are some names that sound familiar to some old queries form some years ago so MEMBERS LOOK AT THE MARRIAGE OF THIS CHILDREN CAREFULLY.
