During my visit to Pennsylvania, USA in June 2013, Colin Brooks of Quakertown, PA took me to Northampton County, the Lehigh Valley and to the Craig or Irish Settlement area. He also pointed out the gap in the hills that the Indians from the north came down into that part of Pennsylvania. One of the items he told me was that a Mrs Dobbins, the sister of William Boyd (1709-1767) and Thomas Boyd (1713-1782) had a 200 acre (or so) farm next to John Boyd who was the elder brother of Rev Adam Boyd of Upper Octorara, Chester County. For quite some time we discussed which Boyd family Mrs Dobbins might have come from. But could not make a connection to any of the Boyd families we were familiar with. However, we did “agree” that as this Mrs Dobbins had the farm next to John Boyd, that she “must be” close relative of John Boyd and Rev Adam Boyd, but had no idea what this relationship might have been. This family tree shows that Mrs Dobbins, was born in 1707 and had a sister, born about 1711 who married a Mr Curry and that the “family” of three sons and three daughters came to America in 1732 from County Armagh, but no town within County Armagh is given. This would also suggest the sisters might have been married in County Armagh, given their age, and MIGHT HAVE COME WITH THEIR UNKNOWN PARENTS Do any members know of Mrs Dobbin’s origins, family and descendants?
