Edmund Boyd, bc / /1755 ( , VA), d / /1800 ( ), bu , m / /177x (church, town, county, etc), Sussannah Thurmond, dau of and (nee ) Thurmond, bc / /1755 ( ), d / /1846 ( ), bu , and had issue:- Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS

I am jumping in here because of interest. I, too, would like to know more about this district. This is the southern part of the "old 96th district"that I will travel through on the way to the AGM this year. It did not exist until 1785. It was in total possession of the natives up until the mid 1750's. In 1790, when Erby was born, his father Roberts place in Newberry was part of the 96th, later Newberry county. Edgefield being cut from this district the early Boyd settlers are difficult to sort out. Just when I though I had them all you come along with a "new" one. tell us more about this Edmund.
