Mike, told you about this last year and you "poo poo'd the idea". Now you believe Benjamin Franklin's grave?? Geez. Anyway, short answer is No book; No record; No migration info. Long story- I'm writing the book; we are digging a homesite of an original 1718 Scotch-Irish family who was burned out in 1722 and did not return to their homesite in Maine; and Rev. Adam Boyd is documented in Maine. Massachusets AND an acknowledged leader of S-I families. Adam Boyd (not Rev. yet since he did not have a church) is part of the Maine ("gone down eastwards") folks from 1718 who settled in region sorrounding modern day Portland Maine. When the Indian uprising of 1722 occurred, Boyd peitioned the Mass. government for a place to move their families. No reply, PLUS an offer from PA to join with others made them move enmasse to Pennsylvania (fill in the whole wife story here). So you have a sudden influx into western Chester and Lancaster with folks fleeing from Maine from 1722-1724. The oldest historical books mention this move.

That makes alot of sense my Tribe Pokanoket's were involved with the Treaty of Casco Bay in 1678 and several other treaty's that went with the Eastern Indian battles in NH & Maine the Treaty of 1725 signed in Boston was under the authority of the Mass Bay Colony which included Maine & NH. I hope that helps. Mik Mac, Abenaki and Pokanoket's of King Phillips War were involved.

Colin, I poked around the 1718 Project website but didn't find an explanation for your intriguing comment (above): "we are digging a homesite of an original 1718 S-I family". Could you give us a link to more information about what you are doing? Second, when I googled 1718 Project, this link came up: http://scotchirishfood.blogspot.com/. Loved it! I thought I'd (re?)share a bit of her "Why did the Scots move to Maine? Because they couldn't grow oats anymore" research: http://scotchirishfood.blogspot.com/2010/05/what-does-scot-do-when-they-cant-grow.html. Great stuff. Last, it there a "definitive" family tree for [Adam] Boyds? I think I've got our family's ancestry (see below) figured out, but would like to check those early families against proven research. Is the best way to join the Clan Boyd Society and upload my (10,000 name, only a few dozen Boyds) to them for checking? I'd much prefer doing the work myself if possible. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Rommy In 1995 James Curran of Pittsburgh, sent me a 55 page FILE title "Boyd Family History" which covered the families of John Boyd and his brother Rev Adam Boyd of Upper Octorara In this paper he outlines that their ancestors were:- WHE1, pp 323-324: His [Adam Boyd's, grandson of Rev. Adam Boyd] ancestors were of that sturdy and fearless race, who, after winning religious liberty at home, braved the perils of the ocean and a life in the wilds of America, that they might establish civil and religious freedom in the New World. The ancestor of this family was Adam Boyd, an officer of the rank of captain in the army sent by Charles I, to Ireland, on the roll of Scottish division June 6, 1649. As was usual in Scotland, one of the sons, Adam (2) went into the Church; his son Adam (3) was also a Presbyterian clergyman. Early in 1714, his son John (4) and a younger brother, Rev. Adam Boyd, left their native land, Scotland, arriving at Philadelphia in the summer of that year. This gives us the following lineage: I. Adam Boyd (I) - captain in the army sent by Charles I to Ireland II. Rev. Adam Boyd (II) III. Rev Adam Boyd (III) - b. 1666, Presby. clergyman, m. Mary Norton Children: A-1: John Boyd A-2: Rev. Adam Boyd (IV) If this lineage is correct, then our Rev. Adam Boyd is clearly Adam Boyd (IV). I must admit, however, to two qualms in all this. First, this lineage has John Boyd (A-1) marrying Jane Craig, daughter of Thomas in 1715. Similarly, Rev. Adam (A-2) married Jane Craighead, daughter of Thomas in 1723. Not impossible, but the stories are so much alike as to raise a serious question. Second, it contains the statement "1714. John and his younger brother, Rev. Adam Boyd, Sr., left Scotland and came to Philadelphia." On the face of it, this statement is demonstrably wrong. Rev. Adam Boyd did not leave from Scotland, he did not come in 1714, and he did not come to Philadelphia. However, there is, of course, the possibility that he did travel with his older brother in 1714, even he was not a minister at the time, and then returned to Ireland to enter upon his first trials in Coleraine. Where WHE1 is - Pennsylvania Genealogies, William H. Egle, 1886 Over the years, I think that I have heard some people question this work of Egle. So this quotation may need to be questioned. While I was at the Games in Greenville, SC in May 2013, some showed me their tree showing that Captain Adam Boyd was the son of Bishop Andrew Boyd, the natural son of the 6th Lord Boyd. Bishop Boyd's son Adam was born in 1599 and not in 1625 as many sources give for the birth of Captain Adam Boyd. O6 Adam Boyd, b / /1599 ( ), d /5/1649 ( , Glasgow, Scot.), bu , m / /162x (church, town, county, etc), Bessie Boyd, dau of Portencross [see below for possible links for Bessie], b / /160x ( ), d / /16xx ( ), after 1649, bu , and THOUGHT did not have issue:- [Lived: ] >From History of the County of Ayr: with a Genealogical Account of the Families of Ayrshire, James Paterson, 1847, p 421, as a footnote in the Boyd of Pitcon:- 2. Mr Adam Boyd. In 1619, he married Bessie Boyd, dau of Boyd of Portencross, and relict of Patrick Maxwell (son of John Maxwell of Auldhouse), merchant tailor, who died in 1623. He died in May 1649. No issue appeared (Wishaw, pp 119, 115). While the note in (E) above - under Page 16 - implies that she married Adam Boyd after Patrick Maxwell of Allhouse. The second question is about "Rev John Thomas Boyd (1690-1750) Colin Brooks took me to Northampton County, PA to where the Craig or Irish Settlement was. However, I can't remember any discussion about this John Boyd being a minister but we did talk about him being a farmer. There was also a mention of a Mrs Dobbins (who was a Miss Boyd) having the farm next to John Boyd and we had a good discussion about her possible links to being a sister, but neither of us could recall where a Mrs Dobbins came into John and Adam's family or another Boyd family. (When I got home I check James Curran's article but it did not have Dobbins in it and I have not been able to find which Family Chapter she is in on my PC.) Diane Graham, in 2006, posted "John BOYD b. ca. 1690 Edinburgh, d. ca. 1750. m. 1714 in Philadelphia, Jane Craig who d. ca. 1750. They had children: John b. 1716 d. ca. 1740 Elizabeth b. 1719, d. 1803 Jane m. Samuel Brown Mary William Robert Thomas John Boyd, (son of John Boyd and Jane Craig ) m ca. 1740 to Elizabeth Young, (daughter of Sir William Young and Elizabeth) They had children: Adam b. 1746 d. 1814, m. Jeanette McFarland John William Young Boyd m. (?Davidson) Jane b. 1751 Margaret m. Robert Sharp I am sure that there is more information out there about the John Boyd/Elizabeth Young descendants. I have worked at trying to tie or disprove my James Boyd to this family. (so far I have not resolved this problem)" Unfortunately, as you can see there is not much details for these families. During my various trips to Ireland since 2006, I have been trying to the family of Sir William Young, but without any success. Thirdly, it would be very interesting to see further data and its sources for Adam Boyd (1675-1748) who is said to have married Mary Norton. Towns and any other data, including cemetery. Fourthly. You will notice that John Boyd is said to have been born in 1690 in Edinburgh while Adam Boyd was born in 1692 at Ballymoney, County Antrim. 1690 is the period of King James uprising and the Battle of the Boyne. So it may mean that their parents - said to be a Rev Adam Boyd had removed himself and family from Ireland during the fighting and had returned by 1692. (I have not seen any Rev Adam Boyd listed as a Minister in Ballymoney, however, I have not looked too hard on this as yet.) So for the above reasons, I question the first two lines of this tree.

Last, it there a "definitive" family tree for [Adam] Boyds? I think I've got our family's ancestry (see below) figured out, but would like to check those early families against proven research. Is the best way to join the Clan Boyd Society and upload my (10,000 name, only a few dozen Boyds) to them for checking? I'd much prefer doing the work myself if possible. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Colon I assume these old historical books do not list very many individual families. However, do they give numbers? And would they mention towns, or regions, where most of the unnamed families might have come from. That you might recall?

Adam Boyd (not Rev. yet since he did not have a church) is part of the Maine ("gone down eastwards") folks from 1718 who settled in region sorrounding modern day Portland Maine. When the Indian uprising of 1722 occurred, Boyd peitioned the Mass. government for a place to move their families.
