That in about 1709 in County Antrim, Ireland he married Isabella Burns, the daughter of Andrew Burns and Marion Beig. This Isabella was born about 1692 in Falkirk, Stirlingshire and died in 1749 in Pennsylvania. > > > > From this data it would appear that George Boyd was married when he was only 18 years old.
