In the book Saco Valley Settlements and Families by G. T. Ridlon, Portland, 1895, on page 933, it outlines some of the thirteen children of David Merrifield and Dorcas Boston of Wells, Maine. David was the son of Sarah Boyd of Berwick Maine and John Merrifield who had they settled in the west part of Berwick, not far from the "Tatnick" neighborhood after they were married in 1765. Can any of our New England cousins, on their next visit to their local Library, look to see if Mr Ridlon’s book is there and also see if there is any other mention of Boyd families in this book.
