Diane "In the year 1782 came ..." Should this have been 1732? Or does this text actually say 1782? I will write to your privately about the families Mike Boyd -----Original Message----- From: Diane Graham Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2014 7:39 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [BOYD] Boyds from County Armagh,Ireland in 1732 to New Garden Township, Chester County, PA Mike, would you please share with me the 3 page document re: William and Thomas Boyd from Armagh to New Garden Township Pa. This story is very close to mine....(.Brothers William and Thomas from Armagh to Pa. sisters mentioned etc). ============== In the year 1782 came William Boyd and Thomas Boyd from the county of Armagh, in Ireland, and with them two unmarried sisters, one of whom married a Mr. Dobbins and the other a Mr. Curry, all of Philadelphia. They also left one married sister in Ireland, who with her husband afterwards emigrated to Philadelphia. Thomas Boyd settled in the forks of Delaware, but afterwards removed to Philadelphia, where he died in 1782, leaving four sons and one daughter: Maj. Alexander Boyd (the oldest son), James Boyd, Thomas Boyd, and Andrew Boyd, all officers in the Revolutionary army, serving through the war. Some time after the war, James and Thomas settled in Kittanning. Of their families nothing is known. The other children remained in Philadelphia and died there. ================================ (1) "Notes and Queries, Historical and Genealogical, Chiefly Relating to Interior Pennsylv ania," ed.
