Ok, I am in on this project with you. and to my knowledge these Boyd properties have never been fully worked out. we are just now getting to where we all agree about the tree itself. The Black Walnut plantation should be the George who married Wilmouth Irby daughter of William Irby the county commissioner for Lunenburg and charter commissioner for Halifax when it formed. He (George Boyd) was the son of Robert son of Patrick whose place was on the south side of the Dan River and went up Lawsons creek including the islands. Most of John Boyds settlement was on the North side of the river at the bend where the town of South Boston is now. The other two brothers Robert and James went a bit farther south to Granville district North Carolina. I have found James;s plantation called "Knapp of Reeds" but I am still looking for where Roberts place was in what became Granville district. It was north of Knapp of Reeds, in the county, and near the great highway which was then just a "footpath". By the time you are wanting to work out the properties (1820's) the Boyd properties were quite numerous in this area. We have to start with the greater Lunenberg county realizing that the Mecklenberg Boyd are not related so you have to sort them out here first. Then once the county divided and formed Halifax- all records after that are still extant and in Halifax courthouse. This is a doable project and I welcome the help and challenge. there are some descendants still living near South Boston who will help us, also. I am in contact with some of them. I will be traveling there (Pickens, SC; Granville, NC; Halifax co., VA) in September on my way to the AGM. It is my hope to have all of this family worked out by then so that I can gather all of the proofs. I have identified many of these earlier properties but my line was in Pickens by 1800. I would like to find every wiskey still and mill footing that this family built, and they are numerous.

I am particularly interested in knowing if decedents of George Boyd owned land in and around Black Walnut, or was this farther South than their holdings included. Black Walnut appears to have been about 6 miles from Boyd's Ferry.

Barry, I descend from James Boyd of Granville (Knapp of Reeds) through his son, Samuel. I believe Samuel moved to Montgomery County, NC around 1790 and lived near "the Narrows of the Yadkin (River)." This branch was either married into or closely associated with the Duke and Myrick families and Samuel's sons later moved to TN and KY. Hope this helps with the sorting process and I would be happy to assist any way I can. Happy Hunting!

Barry Do you have the right George Boyd? I have him in Chapter 5/266 as T1 George Boyd, b / /1739 ( , Halifax Co., VA), d bef 1779 ( , VA), bu , m / /175x ( church, place, VA?), Wilmoth Irby , dau of and (nee ) Irby, b / /174x ( ), d / /18xx ( ), bu , and had issue:- [Lived: ] - From Document #228 of Slaymaker Papers said George (T1) had 6 issue but only names 4. Later in the same Document it lists all 6 children. Marty Dale in an Email of 4 July 1999 said that this George died in 1834 in Halifax Co., VA. Which is correct? Or was she thinking of U1? - The names of the 6 children I have for this George are – George (b 175x); Tabitha (b 175x) who married Mr Innes; Joshua (bc 1765) who married Frances "Fanny" Watlington; Harrison or Hamson (b 176x); Edward (b 176x) and Sarah (b 176x) Whose father is: - S3 John Boyd, Sr., b / /1716 ( , Lancaster Co., Pa), d / /1757 ( , Halifax Co., Va.), bu , m / /173x ( , ), Margaret Lawson, dau of and (nee ) Lawson, bc 1720 ( ), d / /17xx ( ), bu , and had issue:- [Lived: Dan River, VA ] This John Boyd is the brother Patrick. S1 Patrick Boyd, b / /1711 ( , Co. Antrim, Ireland), d 2/1/1762 (either Chester Co, Pa or Halifax Co., VA.), bu , m 25/7/1732 (St. John's Episcopal Churchyard, Compass, Lancaster Co., PA.) , Rachel Grissom (or Grisham), dau of and (nee ) Grissom, bc 1715 ( ), dc / /1750 ( ), bu , and had issue:- m 2ndly m 1751-1752 ( Church, place ), Ann Douglass, of Halifax Co., VA., dau of and (nee ) Douglass, bc 1737 ( ), d / /17xx ( ), bu , and had issue:- [Lived: ] Of the 10 children from the first family and the two from the second family, I do not have any son Robert for Patrick. So have I misunderstood you or do I have wrong children for Patrick?
