    1. [BOYD] George Boyd (1732-1787) of Portsmouth, NH - North Cemetary of Portland, NH

    3. George Boyd, was the son of George Boyd who married Abigail Hoyt, and he married Jane Brewster, daughter of Joseph Brewster of Portsmouth, NH. In W. P. Boyd’s book of 1912, he said that this George Boyd died 6 October 1787, two days at sea after returning from England. And is buried at the North Cemetery of Portland, New Hampshire, where it can be seen today with his family coat-of-arms upon it. Do any members of this list live in Portland, NH or live near enough to it to do a “little” Sunday drive to visit this Cemetery to get a picture of these Arms, so we can worh out which Branch of Boyds in Scotland he might have some form. Thank you Mike Boyd Historical Committee, HBS

    3. Mike et al, The tomb was photographed in 1935. Old and worn unfortunately, so the request still stands. However, it appears to be two stags standing which I do see with any Boyd seals. Mike, take a look and see if anything triggers the memory. USA Library of Congress https://www.loc.gov/resource/hhh.nh0124.photos/?sp=2
