I have an engraving, supposedly of one Robert Boyd. It is on a 5x7 sheet and the engraving itself is about 4x3.5. Under the engraving is written "Engd by Geo. E. Perine N.York". (the d in the first word is a superscript) It is signed "Yours truly Robert Boyd". The gentleman pictured is well dressed and has a beard but no mustache ala Abraham Lincoln. The engraving is undated but I would guess it is from the 1800's. My son found this in a shop in New York and picked is up because it bore his name as well as mine. But we have no idea who the gentleman might be. Anyone have any ideas? Robert

Colin, I would buy them but I don't use credit cards on the internet and they don't accept PayPal. If someone wants to buy them, I'll reimburse them fully and scan them (if able) for my Clan Boyd site for all to see. Rich Boyd http://www.clanboyd.info

I normally don't pass along generic Boyd info especially from publishers. HOWEVER, this is clearly a significant amount of information for the majority of the BOYD researchers. Mike can also use this in his planning for the Ulster trip. My Boyd's came in 1718 so they don't connect to these articles. The first one is useful for determining locations for our early Boyds in Antrim so I'll probably purchase that article. Hope somone can afford the 7 pounds.

Memorial Day,... a day of Remembrance and Tribute to those who have fought and died in the service of their country. In 1868, Commander in Chief John A. Logan of the grand Army of the Republic issued what was called General Order Number 11, designating May 30 as a memorial day. He declared it to be "for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet churchyard in the land. The first national celebration of Memorial Day (originally Decoration Day) took place May 30, 1868, at Arlington National Cemetery. The national observance of Memorial Day still takes place there today, with the placing of a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the decoration of each grave with a small American flag. The holiday has changed a bit since it first began, which some argue was even earlier than Logan's dedication. Southern women decorated the graves of soldiers even before the end of the Civil War. After the war, a women's memorial association in Columbus, Mississippi, put flowers on the graves of both Confederate and Union soldiers in 1866, an act of generosity that inspired the poem by Francis Miles Finch, "The Blue and the Grey," published in the Atlantic Monthly. In 1971, federal law changed the observance of the holiday to the last Monday in May and extended it to honor all those who died in American wars. [Source:Library of Congress] ----------------------------- The Memorial Day Poppy Born in the wake of World War I -- hopefully regarded as "The War to End All Wars" -- the symbolic flower signifies remembrance. The poppy is also used in this same manner by Canadians and, in fact, selection of the flower by the American Legion was influenced by "In Flanders Fields," a poem composed by Lt. Col. John McCrae, a Canadian doctor. Flanders Field is where American troops were assigned to reinforce the British on the northwestern end of the 500-mile front. "Here, the first Americans fell. Here, they were laid to rest," someone wrote of the cemetery lined with row after row of white crosses and immaculately maintained. Historians say 125,000 Americans made the supreme sacrifice and were interred with the first of their comrades in Flanders. In the late spring and throughout the summer grass covered the land. An ever-present breeze spread seeds of the indigenous wild poppy over the land to create a placid, indelible scene. The Legion was founded in 1918 in Paris. It wasn't until 1921 the flower was adopted as the official memorial flower by the American Legion Auxiliary. [Source: The American Legion] ----------------------------- In Flanders Fields In Flanders Fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders Fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders Fields. John McCrae, 1915. -------------------------------------------------------- Whom will you be honoring on this Memorial Day? Kind Regards, Karen from Ohio,USA

Karan was happy to see you added the bit about Columbus ,Ms. The ladies still decorate the graves of the fallen soldiers often in period costumes and the reading of the poem 'The Blue and the Grey" This takes place April 25 as that was the first Memorial day.

I'm looking for information on the ancestors of Robert W. Boyd, who was born in 1799/1800 in Orange County, NY and is listed in the 1840-1860 U.S. Censuses living in Hamptonburgh, Orange County, NY. He was the husband of Margaret Wright who died on 17 Jun 1858 and was buried in Little Britain Presbyterian Cemetery. Family tradition says that he was from a long line of Robert Boyd's. Any information that may help would be greatly appreciated. R. Adam Boyd

Hello. I hope everyone is doing well. I am looking for a sketch or portrait of some type of one of the first couple of Robert Boyds. It is for a display my cousin Virginia Boyd Eckert and I are doing for the Celtic Fling in Manheim, PA next month. We would be grateful for any help anyone can offer. Thanks, Jean Burchett jmburchett@dejazzd.com
