Hmmmm. Young acquired it from Boyd. Mike..... This may belong in a new thread...... I am still at a brick wall with my great grand father. John Boyd. John Young. Boyd. Born in the 1860s. Do you have any record or knowledge of a familial relationship between this Young family and thus branch of the Boyds? Was there, perhaps a Young daughter married to a Boyd sion? If so, did they have issue? What became of their issue? Might be grasping at straws, but with a brick wall, I must look in every possible direction. Aye, Lauren
