terrific drama!

Curious! What does "resemble a remark" mean? Bonnie Farley Gary

I seriously apologize for sending a personal note to the ClanBoyd ring. I hit the wrong "reply to: " line. Working too hard today I guess.

Zolodex is an antigen suppressor that is used for people who have had breast cancer or prostate cancer. It keeps testosterone from developing in men and estrogen in women. It is injected in the abdomen. Tony's doc started the therapy because his PSA went up and even tho they didn't have any evidence that it had returned, he wanted to be absolutely sure. Unfortunately it causes exhaustion in nearly every man, intestinal problems (diarrhea and constipation), dizziness, depression, anxiety and a lot of other side effects in some of them. His urologist has decided to take him off it but the present 12 week shot is still in effect. I think the doc wants to make sure he's okay before he takes him off it. That's about all I know and that's from bits and pieces as the situation has developed. I'm okay with having something to eat before the meeting. I think we should be able to get back by 3.

I have found many, many Boyds who migrated from South Carolina into western Georgia (Troup, Meriwether, Carroll, Fayette, Campbell counties) in the early 1800s, then slipped across the line into Alabama (Chambers, Randolph. Cleburne counties) in the mid to late 1800s. Most were related, some were not. Still sorting them out, but have made some good headway. Judy K. in Newnan, GA (More than likely) 5th great-granddaughter of John and Mary Boyd 4th great-granddaughter of Robert Boyd and Rosannah Stewart 3rd great-granddaughter of Hugh Boyd and Nancy Hopper 2nd great-granddaughter of Robert Boyd and Sarah LeGuin Great-granddaughter of Louisa Elizabeth Boyd and Joseph Joshua Payne

Why not? The American South was settled by Scots and Irish and Ulster Scots (or Scotch Irish, whichever you prefer). There are so many Boyds in the South that Boyd is a prominent first name in most of the southern states. But the state to have the most Boyds is Pennsylvania. That more Boyds settled in Pennsylvania is proven by the _States_ section on my web site. http://clanboyd.info/state Boyd Gray wrote: >You wouldn't think there'd be many Boyds in Alabamy. > >----- Original Message ----- >From: <CLANBOYD-D-request@rootsweb.com> >To: <CLANBOYD-D@rootsweb.com> >Sent: Friday, August 05, 2005 3:00 PM >Subject: CLANBOYD-D Digest V05 #155 > > >No virus found in this incoming message. >Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. >Version: 7.0.338 / Virus Database: 267.10.1/64 - Release Date: 04/08/2005 > > >==== CLANBOYD Mailing List ==== >RING OF BOYDS http://k.webring.com/wrman?ring=clanboydwebring&addsite > >http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=boyd-trees > > > > >

Hi Stacy, I don't have a connection to your Robert Boyd family but I did a few searches and came up with the following: Marriage: Robert Boyd Spouse: Lydia Whitaker Marriage Date: Nov 22, 1837 County: Tuscaloosa, Alabama The original record can be found in the County Court Records, Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Film # 1290745 - 1290749 or thru the LDS Family History Library: Marriage records, 1823-1933 Tuscaloosa County (Alabama). Judge of Probate Marriage records, 1823-1845, 1837-1843, FHL US/CAN Film 1290745 Items 3-4 Microfilm of original records at the Tuscaloosa County courthouse, Tuscaloosa, Alabama. --------------------------------------- This family *appears* to be the Robert Boyd and family that you are looking for....but I will let you make that determination :-) 1850 United States Federal Census > Alabama > Tuscaloosa > District 1 Boyd, Robert-69 <abt 1781>-Farmer-NC Boyd, Liddia-32 <1818>-NC Boyd, Robert M.-12-NC Boyd, Samuel-8-NC Boyd, David B.-7-NC ................... Don't know if this is your Lydia, wife of Robert or not....and can't find where a James E. Boyd was a son to your Robert Boyd.....but perhaps with a bit more investigation you can sort it out :-) 1880 United States Federal Census > Alabama > Franklin > Bear Creek, Burleson, and Pleasant Site > District 92 Boyd, James E.-Head-26-Farmer-AL-NC-GA Boyd, Patsy-Wife-24-Keeping House-AL-AL-AL Boyd, Clarah-Dau-4--AL-AL-AL Boyd, Mary A.-Dau-7/12--AL-AL-AL Boyd, Lydia-Mother-62 <1818> -GA-GA-SC ................. This looks like this *may* be the David B. Boyd, son of Robert....a bit more research would be in order here too :-) 1900 United States Federal Census > Alabama > Franklin > Bear Creek > District 22 Boyd, David B.-57-AL-NC-AL Wife Sarah ---------------------------------------- Sorry I could not locate more....but hope something in the above is helpful to you :-) Kind Regards, Karen from Ohio, USA
