Howard Thank you for making that connection with these Boyd's from Springfield Missouri to those from Williamson Co., TN. Williamson Co, TN was formed in 1799 from Davidson County, TN. Nashville TN is in Davidson County. Quite a number of Boyds went to Davidson Co., TN including with the Donalson Party in 1780. For Williamson County, TN I have at least 4 separate Boyd families - A Branch from George & Isabella Boyd's family; a Branch form Linda Lawhon's family of Iredell Co., NC; a Branch form the Boyds of Sadsbury Twp, Chester Co., PA - who had a William Boyd whose son Col Marcus Boyd went to Green County, MO and the family of James Boyd and Nancy Gentry Could someone on the gateway system please sent his message to them and ask the person to contact me directly with their Email address please. Rebecca Boyd, I will write to you in the next day or so about your Nashville Boyd's Thank you Mike Boyd ----- Original Message ----- From: <howard.jones@uni.edu> To: <BOYD@rootsweb.com>; <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 09, 2011 4:47 AM Subject: Re: [BOYD] Looking for Missouri Boyd Connections > > The Soringfield Booyds I know ae descendans of Maarcus BOyd who came from > ' > williamsom Co.TN. > > Hosward V.
