This is the same William Boyd who Diane Graham wrote about yesterday. She has been researching this part of her family for many years. The History of Chester County (Futhey and Cope) includes a section on this Boyd family starting on page 485. Diane quoted from that book: In the year 1782 came William Boyd and Thomas Boyd from the county of Armagh, in Ireland...

His unnamed wife died 28 April 1767. They are both buried at Fagg's Manor, Chester County. Do any list members know anything more about this family of William Boyd. I can't think at present, if I already have this family amongst the 730 Boyd family Chapters. Thank you Mike Boyd Historical Committee, hBS
