Sallie Is this the James and Samuel you are talking about? Mike Boyd S4 James Boyd, b / /1718 ( ), d 1772 ( ), bu , m / /173x ( , ), Mary Cochran, dau of and (nee ), bc 1720 ( ), d / /17xx ( ), bu , and had issue:- [Lived: ] - From the book, The Boyds of Boyds Tank, by Frank Ewell Boyd & William Taylor Boyd, (1970), 107 p. (USLC # 71-126643), pp 20-21, said that:- "The brothers James (1717?-1772) and Robert (1719?-1778?), sons of George Boyd of Pennsylvania, were in Virginia with older brothers John and Patrick for a time but moved to North Carolina settling in Granville County which borders on the Virginia state line just south of Halifax County. Both died in Granville County." "James Boyd married Mary - - - - - and they had three children-Samuel, Isabella (West) and Margaret (Wilson). Samuel had five children - Frances, James, Samuel Jr., William and Sarah (Frost). All of the children moved to Tennessee. Isabella Boyd West's nine children included Susan (Sutton), Ruth (Costello), Mary (Dinegan), Alexander, Isaac, James and Samuel. Margaret Boyd Wilson's children were-Emichael, James and Samuel. Margaret's family moved to Georgia and Sarah Frost's family moved to Tennessee." ..."We believe these Boyds-James and Robert-lived in the Stovall community." [Mike Boyd's Note: It is a pity this source did not say where in Tennessee this family moved to. You will note that while they said that Isabelle Boyd (T2) had nine children, they only listed seven. The two extra names that I have are Soloman West (U6) and Ann West (U7). While the 8th and 9th children would appear to be James West and Samuel West respectively. While Margaret Boyd Wilson (T3) first child I have as "Rachel" Wilson rather than the "Emichael" Wilson. Could this be confusion of the sound of the name Rachel? Again it would have been nice to know where in Georgia Margaret Boyd Wilson (T3) moved to and when. ] T1 Samuel Boyd, Sr., bc 1740 ( ), d / /18xx ( ), bu , m / /176x (church, place), wife not given, dau of and ee ) ????, b 174x ( ), d / /17xx ( ), bu , and had issue:- [Lived: ] - From document #208 of the Slaymaker Papers lists 5 children for him. The same 5 are also listed in Document #228. -----Original Message----- From: Sallie Ketcham Sent: Tuesday, February 16, 2016 3:14 AM To: Barry Boyd ; boyd@rootsweb.com Cc: Mike Boyd Subject: Re: [BOYD] Boyd property in halifax county, VA 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! Sallie Ketcham Sent from my iPhone
