Jumping off from Howard Jones' mention of Williamson County TN Boyds below... I'm looking for any Boyds descended from William Boyd and his wife Fanny Hines, who lived in Nashville, TN after the Civil War. I'm particularly interested in finding out about the parents of William, but I'd be interested to chat with any descendant of William and Fanny, whether you have information about William's parents or not! My grandfather, William Joseph Boyd (born 1914 in Nashville), apparently had a number of siblings, but I have never met any of them or any of their descendants.

Why, yes! I do. My information on them is sketchy, but here's how I think it goes: William lived circa 1840 to Feb 26, 1895. He arrived in New York on a ship out of Belfast on July 16, 1850. The ship's manifest lists him as 10 years old, and the only other Boyd on the ship with him was Jane, age 20. We are not sure whether they were closely related or not. In the Civil War, William fought for the Union as a soldier in the Ohio 6th Regiment. He and Fannie were married at a Presbyterian church in downtown Nashville on April 4, 1866. We think Fannie was born in 1844, perhaps in County Galway Ireland, and there is census data showing her still living in Nashville in 1910. She is the daughter of Barney Hines and Catherine (Surname Unknown). Fannie filed for a Civil War pension on Aug 25, 1896. Family lore has it that she was a Confederate nurse and tended to William (again, a Union soldier) when he was injured at the Battle of Stones River. We believe that William and Fannie had three children: Mary, William Mitchell (my great grandfather), and Thomas. My great grandfather William Mitchell Boyd then married Annie Petty, and they had, we think, the following children: William Joseph (my grandfather), Frances, Anna Marie, Thomas Dominic, Marguerite, Robert Joseph, Charles, John, and Helen. Hope this helps!

I did find a couple of things. First, William had a brother John, b 1845 in Ireland, living with him in the 1880 census. Second, I found a copy of a photo/picture attached to William Joseph Boyd on one of the family trees on Ancestry.com. No documentation that this is actually your William, but would be happy to e-mail it to you. Third, on one of the Passenger Lists for the Standard, Jane Boyd and William Boyd are given different Family ID numbers. Not sure what that means specifically, but it is worth further research. New York, 1820-1850 Passenger and Immigration Lists.

Ah! I think that you may have found my tree on Ancestry. :) Is this the William you found? http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/20389076/person/1615637786 I do have a picture of our William, passed down through the family. Thank you for pointing out the brother on the 1880 census! I had attached that record to the tree, but I didn't realize that there were any non-children in the household. I've added the brother to my tree now. Maybe that will result in some new hints! Thanks very much!

I do. My information on them is sketchy, but here's how I think it goes: William lived circa 1840 to Feb 26, 1895. He arrived in New York on a ship out of Belfast on July 16, 1850. The ship's manifest lists him as 10 years old, and the only other Boyd on the ship with him was Jane, age 20. We are not sure whether they were closely related or not. In the Civil War, William fought for the Union as a soldier in the Ohio 6th Regiment. He and Fannie were married at a Presbyterian church in downtown Nashville on April 4, 1866. We think Fannie was born in 1844, perhaps in County Galway Ireland, and there is census data showing her still living in Nashville in 1910. She is the daughter of Barney Hines and Catherine (Surname Unknown). Fannie filed for a Civil War pension on Aug 25, 1896. Family lore has it that she was a Confederate nurse and tended to William (again, a Union soldier) when he was injured at the Battle of Stones River. We believe that William and Fannie had three children: Mary, William Mitchell (my great grandfather), and Thomas. My great grandfather William Mitchell Boyd then married Annie Petty, and they had, we think, the following children: William Joseph (my grandfather), Frances, Anna Marie, Thomas Dominic, Marguerite, Robert Joseph, Charles, John, and Helen. Hope this helps!

That is the one. It confuses people, like me, trying to help if you have the wife posted as Fannie Hynes Boyd on the internet, and call her Fannie Hines in your message here.

Rebecca from the 1994 IGI for the UK (down to Margaret Boyd) there are 2 possible entries for a John Boyd born in Ireland in 1845. A) John Carrol Boyd, parents Thomas Boyd & Mary Ann (no surname), Bapt 7 Sept 1845, at Dromore, County Down, Batch number 7123725, serial # 85; B) John Boyd, parents William Boyd - no mother listed, Bapt 2 Jan 1846, at Templepatrick, County Antrim, Batch number 8801331, serial # 41. I would look at both Batch numbers at your local LDS Church centre - but as you have a number of William Boyd's in your various generations, my GUESS WOULD BE ON THE SECOND ENTRY. There are quite a number of Boyds form Templepatrick which I understand is between Antrim City and Belfast. I hope that this will help you in your hunt.
